A perimeter footing can work for lighter agricultural or storage use where a full slab isn&rsquo;t necessary. Your engineer-stamped drawings specify exactly what your foundation needs to meet \u2014 soil conditions, frost depth, and local code requirements all factor into which approach makes sense for your specific site.<\/p>\n<h2>Steel vs. Wood<\/h2>\n<table>\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th>Factor<\/th>\n<th>Steel<\/th>\n<th>Wood<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>Typical lifespan<\/td>\n<td>40+ years<\/td>\n<td>15\u201330 years<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Pest \/ rot resistance<\/td>\n<td>Immune to termites and rot<\/td>\n<td>Vulnerable to both<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Fire resistance<\/td>\n<td>Non-combustible<\/td>\n<td>Combustible<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Maintenance<\/td>\n<td>Minimal \u2014 occasional wash<\/td>\n<td>Repainting, sealing, repairs<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<h2>Permits, Codes &amp; Engineering<\/h2>\n<p>Most municipalities require a building permit and stamped engineering drawings for a structure this size.
