How do you store and organize your tractor and small engine supplies?
ebinmaine posted a topic in non tractor related discussion
Let's see some pics of how and where to keep the things you need to have on hand to keep the herds in good shape. Old parts. New parts. Everything. Time to reorganize and expand where my Honey and I are storing our small equipment stuff. -
Need some recommendations on a new shed. I'm looking at putting up one of these metal buildings - I might have posted this link sometime back to the manufacturer's website, but here it is again: http://www.carolinacarportsinc.com/configurator/index What I'd like to do is put up a building with two garage doors. There would be space equal to the width of the garage doors between the garage doors and the opposite sides of them. This would be on the long side of the building and descriptively is like this: wall-space-door-space-door-space-wall The idea is to put tractors, junk, pop-up camper, firewood, etc, to the extent possible out of the garage door lanes and that would be to either side of the two garage doors and the space between them. So I have some questions: - How tall should the building be? Nothing bigger than a 1/2 or 3/4 ton truck would in it. - How deep (as you drive into it) is desirable? 20ft, 24ft - looking for some reasonable depth such that I can pull in a vehicle and yet not be so crowded that I can't work around it or even move a tractor around the end of it? - how wide should be garage doors be? I'd like to get a full size truck through them without being so narrow that I'd smash a mirror. - If you look at the website, they offer vertical or horizontal siding. I'm thinking vertical. Don't know if this is better for looks or strength or both. What you do think? - I'd like to put this building on a concrete pad. Question is - how thick and what type - rebar or concrete with fiber or both. This is just in the planning stage - not sure I'll do it, but I want to figure out what experience others have with their garages, and lessons learned from theirs you can share.
