PC boards for the loop are still available.

  I have a 40x60 foot metal building.  Surprisingly, it doesn't seem to
interact much with the loop. OTOH, I have noticed interaction with
wire antennas, power lines, etc.  Certainly, I would expect a wooden
shed to be transparent, unless it had a lot of electrical wiring
inside that went to outside overhead wires.
