Looking to put a building up any suggestions on post frame or steel, and radiant heat vs floor heat.

Question

Answer

Can't beat in floor heat especially with a wood boiler.

Answer

I would price both types to see what the difference in price is and if there is any. I went with steel because it was cheaper 12 years ago also liked the increase in ceiling height as the steel trusses are at roof height. Went with in floor heat wouldn’t have any other heat source.

Answer

Have you gotten any quotes yet? I'm starting to look as well.

Answer

I have several steel frame buildings.  If you are going over 60 feet wide, the steel buildings will probably be more competitive.  I would also suggest with the steel buildings,  a 2/12 pitched roof instead of the standard 1/12.  It gives a lot more head room particularly in the center of the building.

Answer

In floor heat is very nice All depends on how often u open door to reclaim heat in winter we have in floor and radiant heat but our doors open six eight time a day

Answer

I have an Astro 72 X 120 shop that is a top mount post frame building. It doesn't have posts in the ground it sits on a stem wall.  I have floor heat and wouldn't have anything else.  We love our floor heat and wish I had it in the basement of our house.  My advice to you is if your concrete contractor says we don't do floor heat find a different contractor.
