I would say there is no reason in having the trusses more than 12' off the ground unless you were thinking of a walkable storage loft (about 5' high just under the trusses on our 14' height).

Pics? I'm going to measure the existing concrete pad this weekend and may go larger if it makes sense.

Thanks, going to add pole barns into the mix.

My shop is a pole barn, steel clad inside and out, fully insulated and heated with 100amp service, that I built myself over a summer.
