If winterizing your farm equipment isn’t something you’re already doing, experts strongly suggest you start. Besides considerably bettering the odds that your equipment will be operational come springtime when little wiggle room for delays exists, winterizing farm equipment lengthens its lifespan and benefits its long-term resale value.
Protecting and storing farm equipment indoors means better resale value, lower repair costs and longevity of the machinery.
For any size farming operation, machinery can be a large and important investment. Building a farm shed is one simple way that farmers can keep their operations running smoothly, decrease down time and lower repair costs.
Storing farm equipment indoors means better resale value, lower repair cost
Research showed that farmers who stored equipment inside got much more for resale after five years than those who left it outside. Keeping equipment inside also means more savings from reduced down time. In fact, equipment stored outside had twice the down time than if it had been stored indoors.
Planning a multi-purpose building
Why settle for a single use building when you probably have a number of roles you would like it to play? When designing your building, think of how you will be using the doors, different types of doors you will need, and the most logical flow of traffic to help direct where you would place the doors. We recommend placing large doors in the end walls of your post frame building for structural integrity and so snow doesn’t fall directly in front of them—making it easier for you to enter and exit your building during the winter.
At Warman Home Centre, we offer farm equipment storage buildings in wood post or straight wall, available in standard or custom sizes, to meet all your storage needs. Since wood post buildings do not have to be erected on a concrete foundation or floor, they offer our customers an economical advantage. However, a floor may be added if needed.
