Sorry -- Didn't mean to jack the thread (again).... but wanted to show the OP that it is possible to build this kind of stuff yourself if you're so inclined. It wasn't my intent to build mine - but after watching the crew that was hired to put up my metal building I fired them. I got on the phone and called one of my buddies (also retired) and told him to put his big boy pants on 'cause we have a building to build!

Mine is 38'X50' with 14' sidewalls and a custom 6/12 pitch roof... and is clear span.

I have since taken off the inappropriate metal roof and sheeted it and roofed it to match the house. And during the remodel we're planning on the house I may have them sheet the side and hardy plank it (also to match the house)... but the dark green siding works "fine" and hides it in the trees so you really don'e see much of it. Those pics were taken during construction - and that was 7 years ago... the landscaping was all designed to make the building "go away".
