I didn’t want separate buildings for storage, tools, and projects — that just felt inefficient. The goal was one large, flexible space that could evolve over time. But finding something like that without custom construction felt tricky.

What worked for me was choosing a structure that didn’t lock me into one purpose. After thinking through different use cases, I ended up with https://www.uspatriotsteel.com/metal-barns/ as a base solution. Over time, it’s handled storage, workspace needs, and even seasonal equipment without issues. That kind of versatility is what makes it feel worth it.
