Designing building?

[Iowa 770]

I'm going to be building a new shed in the next 5 years. I'm looking right now at a 60' by 125 or 130' building. I'm wondering if anyone has seen a good design site for buildings on the net. What would be a good shop size for general tractor use and equipment restoration purposes. I am leaning towards 40' wide by 60' deep with in floor heating with one overhead door in it. I'm also wondering if anyone has experience with large bifold doors as I really would rather get away from sliders. Any info would help.

Here's a good one for starters--it's geared toward ag stuff, but has some other stuff as well.

Your county cooperative extension office should have lots of publications of building designs.

Due to location and size, I wasn't able to do this and would have if there would have been a feasible way to do it. I would suggest putting two doors (12 foot wide) on at least one bay of the shop. This way when bringing in a project that isn't under it's own power, you can open the two doors and drag it straight in...instead of having to push/pull the project in. I've worked in a few places where this was and was not an option. Trust me whatever the expense for this is will pay off the first time you have to use it.
