Design a floor plan, then think about size. What are you putting in there? Cars and small tractors or big tractors and combines? if you are storing small tractors and cars, a long rectangular building with a center alleyway and side bays might work out best. How wide the center alleyway is depends on how tight you want it when you are driving vehicles into and out of bays. Side doors take up a lot of storage space in the side wall but it wouldn't hurt to add side doors. You can always leave them shut and use the end door or doors only but at least the side doors will be there for whatever. For summer ventilation one large south door and one large north door can't be beat. If you are driving large vehicles with poor visibility to the rear and sides (combines), plan on driving them or backing straight in and parking them facing the back wall. Cranking a big large vehicle around in a building is asking for something to get run into, even if someone is guiding you. $5000 to repair a kinked combine unloading auger when it is lightly backed into a wall post. Ask me how I know! Measure out what you plan to store in there, so many square feet per vehicle, then double it at least. this is for storage area only, not center alleyway or drive area. The thickness of your billfold might be the final deciding factor! This is assuming you are using it for storage only with a small area to do wrench turning.

Today's Featured Article - The Nuts and Bolts of Fasteners - Part 2 - by Curtis Von Fange. In our previous article we discussed capscrews, bolts, and nuts along with their relative hardness and thread sizes. In this segment we will finish up on our fasteners and then work with ways to keep them from loosening up in the field. Capscrews, bolts and nuts are not the only means of holding two parts together. When dealing with thinner metals like sheet tin, a long bolt and ... [Read Article]
