Hey guys i'm not trying to jack this thread or anything but am starting to search on residential pole buildings and am not sure what demensions I should get. Looking to get a car in it with plenty of storage space / maybe room for 2 cars and more storage space. Size in height width and length? Is a concrete pad of 5 inches good for a lift in the near future? Getting a lift probably determines the height as well. Any tips / pointing me in the right direction would help greatly. Ps; i would like to post up my garage when it's all done : ) , can pole building set ups become really good for car storage and very well insulated?

It's nothing much but I had to build a workbench for my one car garage... built this one into the wall... setup the work bench for power (the reel connected is 30 feet of spooled up extension cord), stereo for blasting tunes while I'm wrenching.. and I'm getting ready to wall mount a television soon.... think i spent like 80 bucks for the lumber and I could probably park a car on it it's that strong.....

My garage. No where near big enough, but where I live I cannot build a pole barn. Damn sub-divisions. The garage fits 3 cars and a very shallow workbench on the side, but there is only about 1.5 feet of space between each car and only about 1 foot front and rear of the car. It sucks. In order to work on anything comfortably you have to at least move one car out, which I don't like doing when it is shitty outside.
Here is my garage. Nowhere near what some of these are in caliber, but it has allowed me to do any work on the vehicles so far. It could be considered a 3 or 3.5 car garage depending on how you look at it.
My biggest desire is a lift currently, but the concrete is not thick enough or in good enough condition.
