Well, the double would add more value to the house than single in the event (although unlikely) we need to move and sell.

I measure thed 69 C10 at 18ft. If we needed to pull the motor, we could probably just pull the front end in... that way we would still have the extra area to pull in something for an oil change if needed.

I know the company that manufactors the doubles do make them deeper, but Northern doesn't sell them... so maybe I'll look for a dealer that does...

Oh, and it isn't so much cost as it is cost and time. The metal building only needs a concrete slab... building something is going to require footings in addition to a concrete floor, plus your are looking at the time to frame, build trusses, side, etc... We had priced building a garage at about $15,000.
