What kind of boat/toy storage should I build?

[Scarpozzi]

I have a few houses out on the lake. Neither are large. One has been gutted and needs a full overhaul.

I want to build some kind of weather-protected storage for an ATV, some go carts, and a jon boat. The boat is maybe 18' with trailer and no motor mounted.

Should I just build a pole barn with a dirt floor? Or make a traditional out building with floor joists and plywood for? Or pour concrete?

I thought about just ordering a building from Home Depot. What should I do? I have room for whatever. I just want to keep the project cheap so it won't do much to taxes.

simple pole barn with concrete floor. you could pour the concrete later, after inspections. wink wink.

Pole barn for sure. Much cheaper than out building and provides same level of utility.
