I'm no fan of wood and would be worried that it wouldn't last and think of the greater fire risk. I also think I could get a steel kit for less and wouldn't begrudge paying the same price for something I think would be more durable anyway.
Definately with you on the fire risk, can really see why that is a concern.
Not so convinced on the durability though, properly treated decent wood lasts pretty much indefinately anyway and if you have chipped paint/coatings on the steel its going to rot anyway, so either should last well if maintained but wont if neglected.
Not that it matters if it isnt what you want anyway as that makes it all acedemic, but they were available a lot longer than that as I was looking at them in both 20' by 30' and 30' by 20' as 20' by 30' is good for getting four small cars in but 30' by 20' is better for working on 3 in, and I was undecided which was more important to me with the footprint I had available if we had gone for the house we were looking at.
