Hi,

Long story, short, I started a barn building business last year, things are starting to look up thank you very much.

The question is this, I have a lead who wants a barn to store 3 antique cars but he only wants one door.

Normally I would do a 24x36 barn (hemlock or Pine) with 3 doors.

I am thinking that a clear span of 24 feet would work but have no idea if a big beam (12 to 16 inches) will carry the load of a finished loft (kitchen, bath, office).

I think I can make a king post work in the loft area but would prefer an alternative.

Any suggestions?
