Chris-I have one. If I had to do it over again, I'd do a pole barn w/ the steel skin.

The all steel buildings have no studing in the sidewall-just a fore-aft beam and tension wires-as a result, it's difficult to insulate, and there's little support for electric and pipes. I worked around this by using metal studs where needed as outlet supports etc, but its not an elegant solution.

A pole barn is same cost, maybe less, and has greater options for entry doors (steel building are doors in ends only), insulation, and loft area-you can't run anything side to side in the steel building to create a storage loft area.

The skins on the buildings are identical materials and long lasting either way.
