Do You Have a Tractor Shed/Barn?

[rockinbbar]

There is a thread on this site of people using a 20FT sea container. It will be my next real investment for the tractor.

Here are some of the ones I snagged for ideas,

For the CUT, SCUT and garden tractors the 20FT sea containers are a durable and cost effective way to keep things stored and dry.

Not that my equipment can fit in one of those containers, but I have one at the olive orchard for storing stuff in... But brother, let me tell you, down here that SOB gets HOT inside. I can't put anything in it that's heat sensitive in the least.

I'm going to start building a shed for our tractor next month (finally). I already have a plan for the shed foundation prep work. The ground contact treated frame and compacted stone dust should provide a stable base, especially for a low-lying area. I think the geotech fabric is a great addition to help with drainage. I'm also going to reach out to a site prep customer service team for guidance on the specifics. I was told they can help ensure I'm covering all the key considerations. But it is great to learn from the experience of others. So, thanks for sharing your projects.

Aren’t the ribs going to ensure water sits up there until it eventually finds a seam to leak thru? Usually the ribs are oriented vertically, to channel water away from rake edge and panel overlaps.

Can't imagine it'd shed snow very well either.

After 25 years of using a 40' shipping container and my garage, I'm in the final stages of getting a 30x32 plus 10' awning pole barn completed (contracted).

I do have a drive through tractor shed for my tractors, and a more closed barn for my welding trailer and CTL.

Have to admit that if everything is dusty, I'm prone to pull them all out to get washed off by an impending rain though.

I've not built anything to house my implements yet... That would take quite a bit of cover to put a roof over harrows, discs, batwing cutters, and on and on...

What do you guys use? (If anything)

30 years ago, we built a 40x80 shop for all the equipment, has worked well for us.

I have a 12’x16’ carport (treated lumber, shingle roof with 3 rows of 2x12s around the bottom attached to 6- 6x6 posts), that was located where I wanted to build a garage. I had found an old concrete pad towards the back of my property where there must have been an old shed. I was blowing some leaves and just uncovered this 11’x24’ old concrete floor. It was poured in 4 sections and sort of crumbling a bit. But I had an idea.

I cleared a path from the carport to the pad, probably 120’ away. It was mostly flat grass, then rose up 3’ to the pad.

I put some diagonal bracing around it and some 2x10 junk I had lying around to act as skids. Chained it up to my 86 F150, put her in low range, and drug it up to sit on the pad! Just like a truck pull.

Couple years later I got a bunch of leftover plywood and 2xs and fully closed it off on 3 sides. Had left over vinyl siding from a couple of jobs, so front and right sides are gray rustic cedar shake looking vinyl and the back and left sides are gray double 4” vinyl. Done and done.

Still wish it was bigger, the regular garage too!

Just following. Looking at these steel tube shed kits for camp property use.
