I'm looking at having a post frame/pole building built this year to be used as a new shop. I've been in talks with a contractor and had asked about upgrading the roof metal to 26g ($1250 upgrade). The contractor said that in our area the standard 29g would be just fine. We don't get hail but we do get some high gusts of wind once in a while.
I'm curious if going 29g is okay or if I'm better going a hair over budget and sticking with the 26g. For those that have done shop builds what did you do and would you do it differently if you had to do it again.
