Huge Machine Storage Solution

When you’re a farmer, protecting your equipment through any season is a must. An effective machine storage solution keeps these vital tools safe, no matter the weather.

Last September, one client came to us with a need for a brand-new building in time for harvest and the winter months.

Within the month, our construction crew was able to provide a 60’ x 108’ x 16’ machine storage building!

Effective Machine Storage for All Seasons

This huge machine storage solution is three-sided. An open front allows large equipment to move in and out without issue while still protecting it from the elements.

The front of the structure has center-spaced columns 27’ feet apart. It also features additional cross-bracing to help stabilize the structure’s huge open sidewall. To improve the durability of the building and further protect the expensive machinery stored inside, gutters, downspouts, and Dripstop technology were added to prevent condensation buildup.

All of these features add up to ensure that this client’s critical equipment is well-protected. The building will hold up during spring rains, summer heat, and winter cold, while still allowing for easy access during planting and harvest.

And our team was able to work together to get it all done quickly and efficiently, without sacrificing quality!

New Machine Storage Building with Modern Features

While the purpose of this project was straightforward, we wanted to make sure this client’s new machine storage building would keep their equipment safe and secure for years to come.

New Machine Storage Building Specs

The 60’ W x 90’ L x 16’ H structure features clear spans, a 30’ W x 16’ H double sliding door, and windows running the length of the north sidewall eaves for natural lighting.

These custom modern features combine to provide a solution that meets all the client’s needs while still offering a building with a classic look and feel.

Project Profile: Machine Storage Needs

For a recent unique project, we focused on what the client was looking for and delivered a finished product that perfectly matched their machine storage needs.

Meeting Machine Storage Needs

The finished metal storage building was a 12’ x 32’ x 7’ lean-to. It was built on a concrete wall to connect to and match an existing structure.

In place of a standard door, the client requested an open endwall to allow for easy tractor storage. We also installed Dripstop on the roof panels to prevent moisture buildup and condensation.

The result is an uncomplicated but very effective storage solution for our client! Read more about it here.

Feed storage building at a Red Bud grain elevator that was updated in time for harvest

Much-Needed Feed Storage Building Updates

When you think grain storage, you might think about the tall shaft or storage bins of a grain elevator. But there are other important pieces to the puzzle, including a well-constructed feed storage building.

New Roofing and Siding for a Feed Storage Building

Our team recently worked with a client in Red Bud to outfit the 40’ x 63’ storage building and attached 14’ x 56’ lean-to at their grain elevator with a brand-new steel roof and siding.

The roofing and siding are rated high for wind uplift, snow load, hail, and fire resistance, helping to protect the variety of products, trailers, pallets, and more that are stored in the building.

These improvements were completed just in time for harvest, and the durable building is sure to last our client for years to come. Read more on our blog.

Functional Multi-Level Building

Last year, we took on a unique project that brought grading complications and the opportunity to be truly creative through the creation of a functional multi-level building.

Large, Multi-Level Building Project with Ample Storage

Built to be a truly functional multi-level building, the overall floor plan of the structure is 36’ x 64’ x 19’. The interior features a 32’ x 36’ x 8’ lofted area with stairs, plus 32’ x 36’ x 19’ of open space to store large equipment. This structure was installed with Dripstop technology to prevent condensation buildup and a large laminated header offers load support under the loft.

Because the building was built onto an uneven grade, the west wall sits on a 10” thick x 56’ long retaining wall of concrete. The retaining wall and the concrete floor have a 10” x 36” footing along the perimeter to support the building. Additionally, the 5” thick concrete floor is reinforced with wire mesh. Overall, approximately 80 tons of concrete were used on the project.

The multi-level building also features several garage doors, each thoughtfully selected for their functionality and efficiency.

Building Update to Our Original Project

We had the opportunity to return to a structure we previously built and add a 20’ x 80’ x 13’6” lean-to that both matched the original structure and included an engineered opening for machinery to drive in and out of.

 

New Use with Building Update

Customized Building with Multiple Purposes

Last summer we had the opportunity to build a 24’ x 40’ x 12’ building with features like: an 8’ x 40’ covered porch, a 12” overhang, and Dripstop to prevent condensation. We also designed the building to match seamlessly with the existing house on its property. This included adding cedar-wrapped posts, custom bronze coloring, and a matching mocha-colored Raynor garage door.

Office and Man Cave Multi-Purpose Building

This multi-purpose 45’ x 112’ x 16’ 6” building was constructed to serve as an office area with a bathroom and features a second-floor hangout that serves as a functional man cave. We also provided additional supports for future solar panel installation and framing for the client to hang drywall down the road.
