hondapro, We built a pole barn for our 5er and other equipment and went 16 foot sidewalls, with 14x14 roll-up doors and don’t regret it a minute. In fact, our 5er just clears the roll-up door when fully raised.
I highly recommend considering the advice that I failed to follow. “Figure out what you need and then double it”! We built our “first one”, 32’x48’ with 16’ walls. We just built our second pole barn 2 summers ago, 30’x40’ with 12’ sidewall.....already wish we’d gone bigger and taller! memtb
Allways build for the next rv or the next owner if you have the room. I built ours using steel, 20x45x15 . I wanted longer but would have had to cut down some old pecan trees. Skirted it 3ft down on 3 sides and open on the end I back into. Maybe one day enclose it and add door.
Also why spend the money for a truss on a 14 ft wide building ? Cut a steep pitch rafter and use a collar tie . Even a 12/12 pitch the rafter would only be 9ft 10 3/4 in .
