I plan to build one just like that. Did you have someone design it for you or do you have previous experience? I want something like 60x30. I have a lot of stuff to park under there. hahah

Should have been twice as big.
Get some angle bracing in there. Will help keeping it square & for strength.

Yes, at each post. As the wallet allows.

I plan on adding more bracing as the wallet allows. Shelves also as wallet allows. I never thought about how much this hobby cost but I do now. I just could not leave the tractors out under the tarps any longer.

The XLT had the wood grain looking molding and the basic was black trim molding.

James,
I would suggest that you do what you have to do to come up with some bracing. With these summer storms we are having just one good blow could put your nice shed on the ground and you will have lost the money you have already invested. You are not finished until the bracing is in place. If you can"t afford much, a 4' 2 x 4 on a 45 each way will help a lot. For the front to back an X brace of 7/16" cable will do. If you X brace just one bay at the rear with cable and use 4" 2 x 4"s one each post on the high end it will do fine. You will have to brace every post both ways on the outside to have enough knee bracing.
If your post are dug into the ground and set in concrete bracing for the short time is not as important, but you will need it in the long run since the treated post will rot out in about 20-years unless you are below the fall line in Georgia in which case they will be gone in 10 years.
