Red iron vs. post-frame — which one fits
Red iron (welded steel I-beam) is the heavy-duty choice — 50+ year life, handles wide clear spans (60'+), and the standard for shops, barndominiums, and any building you're putting living space in. Post-frame (pole barn, wood columns with metal cladding) costs less, goes up faster, and works great for hay barns, equipment cover, and basic storage. I'll match the structure to what you're actually using it for.
