Thanks Terry. Still deciding on exactly what I'm going to build. I'm getting a price on a 30x50x14 welded with 3 big doors and one walk through. I added so much to the 30x40x12 that the price is getting up there.

Ed, sorry for the confusion in my post. Indeed garage doors rather than roll up or sliding doors... My warehouse at my business has roll ups. The area is air conditiond, and we blocked 2 of them off and insulated over them. The heat of the sun in the summer is intense. Plus, we are constantly having to deal with birds getting in around the tops of the remaining 2 doors...
And 12 foot on the width is nice too. My barn at home has 10 foot doors, and the shop has 12... I'd never do another such building with 10 foot doors. Heck, just backing a truck/tractor or trailer partially in, creates a real tight squeeze if you want to go in and out the open door with the vehicle sitting in it...
Good luck on the build (AND congratulations too on finally getting to the point where you can!!). Keep us posted.

I now have a price on a welded 30x50x14 with 4 trusses with 3-12'x12' roll-ups and one walk-through door, gutters, slab with one 3x12 ramp and one 5x34 ramp, and plumbing in slab for commode and 2 sinks. It came in a $23.30 per sq. ft. I'm going bigger on the building instead of having the lean-to's. I can add them later if I decide I need them. I need to call and get a price on the garage-type doors.

Make the lean-to's wider. Roof taller and I suggest panel doors that are insulated. Especially if they will face the west.
I did 16' tall at end walls and have room for a loft on top of my bathroom. Extra storage area you don't have to duck down while up there.
If you plan on having an air compressor have a small slab poured under a lean-to near your electric supply so you have it outside and anchored down to the concrete.
I wish I would have plumbed a drain near my roll up door for washing away blood when cleaning deer.

I suggest using galvanized perlins all the way, if you don't at least do them on ridge and eves. They are the first to rust out. My shop is 40 x 60 weld up with center post and 12 x 11'8" doors, with 12' walls, 11'8 was all I could get in with beam. 4/12 pitch helps when you want to add on, the eve height will be higher than 5/12
