I would look at Greenwood farm buildings for kitset for pole construction
    I would well believe that, we used to throw up barns for buggar all with Hardwood poles and Doug fir for the rest with seconds of long run.
    Until the building inspectors got all prissy over the hardwood poles.
    But they still take a bit of skill, where as a steel kit is pretty hard to buggar up unless you don't get the base square. ( i seen that once they fought it all the way.)
    Then tried to blame the kitset.
    Goldpine here in the south used to offer deals on barn kitsets that were incredibly cheap for what you got. Maybe he should wait until feildays.

    Akzle give up no ones going to vote for you lol.


    pole shed slightly easier for you if you want to retrofit shelves and shit.
    windzone doesnt matter a fuck and whoevers speccing it will just uprate your rafter ties and cladding fixings and shit.

    havent heard of any of those companies, but cruise your hood and look at what other people have up and ask them who, how much, and what they don't like about it.

    Built a 15m X 12m Durobuilt shed brought it as a kitset and put it up with my builder.
    Good company and good product. Better then a total span shed but you do pay a bit more.
    As mentioned above get the pad right and everything will go well.
    Neighbor up the road did one as well and seems happy

    Thanks for the update Pipe appreciated. Do you know what the differences to total span are. Is it something to do with footings or is it structure.

    From Memory cladding was cladding was slightly thicker .3 vs .35mm(@2011. i see that durobuild now at .4mm) and the portals were a lot stronger, builder did a totalspan shed after mine and commented on the differences in strength including having to center prop the roof on the totalspan so they could walk on it while putting roof on.
