I went with Clearspan because of their warranty. It's 15 years on the fabric with no pro rate. I think I'm pushing 20 on my big barn and it's just like new. I keep hay in it along with my farm equipment.
I will say I had to use one of my front end loaders to get the trusses up and install the overhead door.
Both buildings have been through harsh Michigan winters, hail storms, wind and driving rain, nothing ever phases them
Here in this state, any building not on a footer is considered a 'portable' building and not subject to real estate tax, another reason why I bought them. Both buildings are resting (truss ends) on 2 x 12 .40 retention planks, tied together with 1/8" metal plates and a screw anchor in the pad, every 8 feet.
You get what you pay for as with anything. There are cheapo ones out there at Menards and Lowes but I've seen then erected and they look flimsy.
