How do you decide on building wood versus metal structures
We started in 1986 building mostly wood structures. In those days we based our decision on whether to use wood or steel on whether we could dig a hole by hand or if we needed to hire a  rock driller. Holes drilled in rock allowed us to use a smaller diameter metal pole. I’ve since gone exclusively to metal. I’ve gradually been replacing the wood structures with metal as they deteriorate.
