southern MN | So you are buying the roof. The sidewall tin will be too short, and the poles are too short.
Price out new trusses and some roof tin and see where the price is on new.
Working out a taller sidewall takes a foundation or longer poles. And bigger poles for that much extra height.
And some overlapping tin or some split siding stuff, matching old to new.
Any of which take more fuss, which means more money.
Side tin work well to reuse, but reusing the roof tin you just end up with bigger nail holes, always chasing a few leaks. The nature of reusing tin on a roof. The tin is used, faded some, less life.
Run the numbers carefully.
If you used the building as is, it can be a good use of unused time. By adding 4 foot of height, I would look at the numbers real careful, you aren't really getting much value from the little bit of used stuff you will easily reuse.
