30x40 or 20x60 shop to store 5er
We are building a new home and the HOA allows us to add a metal shop building no larger than 1200 sqft.
Trying to decide what dimensions to use for the shop. The lot is much deeper than it is wide so a 60ft deep shop would work fine. My 5er is 30ft long and if it were ever replaced it would be something of similar length. In a 30x40 I couldn't leave the truck hitched up and close the door which is why I'm considering other sizes.
The main purpose of the building will be to store the 5er, a 16' utility trailer, and a small amount of lawn equipment.
Who prefers the narrow/long option? I had been thinking a 30x40, but am now not sure it's the best option.
