[ATTACH=CONFIG]549457[/ATTACH]I have a Morton building 105x48x16 fully finish on the inside with in floor heat on three zones. Building withstood a tornado back in March 2012. All the Morton building in the area were the only ones still standing after the storm when thur area. They give a 80 mph wind guarantee but I think it is much higher. They thur bolt all the trusses to the uprights when building. Look on you tube there much greater details. Punch in morton buildings.

My Dad managed one of the top producing Morton Buildings offices here in Central Missouri for 30 years. They have a great product. You will find cheaper, but they have a quality product no question about it.
My Dad now is semi retired and builds a stockade building product which he also highly recommends alongside Morton Buildings.

Did you price steel buildings when you had yours done? Morton does build a great looking building but I can beat them every time with pre-engineered steel and steel will have higher wind and snow loads. Morton is the only wood frame manufacture I can do this with though. Just curious if this is the case in other locations.

Yes it is. I keep the thermostat at 52 degrees and work in there in shirt sleeves during the winter. Remember heat rises up from the floor. I also pickup 3-4 degrees from the t-8 bulbs. I am in the process of changing over to LED bulbs in the lights. I have 64 fixtures in 4 rows on two switches total amount of bulbs 256. As the old bulbs burn out I replace them with LEDs.
