My dad put one up two years ago and has been pleased with it. When you decide to build more you could use the hoop building as hay storage. Until then it would double great for machinery storage, hay storage, or livestock. Farm Tek sells many different style that may fit your needs.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35188043.post-43809449092821599592008-10-30T16:50:00.000-05:002008-10-30T16:50:00.000-05:00If it was me, I would build a structure that was b...If it was me, I would build a structure that was basically a pole barn without walls (or a super-sized carport). Try to build it to the same dimensions as the existing building (width, wall height, and colors) so that all of your structures start to match. <BR/><BR/>Since your building is 36' wide and 45' long, build it 36' wide to match and about 24' long to start, then in the future you can add onto the structure and lengthen the building so that it exactly matchs your existing building. <BR/><BR/>Once you have a roof in place, you have many options for future improvements; you could easily add walls, pour a concrete floor, etc.<BR/><BR/>Make sure you place it in a place that complements the placement of your existing building (and future buildings, fence lines, etc.)Richhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11412944120622315804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35188043.post-45756097581090928572008-10-30T10:08:00.000-05:002008-10-30T10:08:00.000-05:00I'd advise against the post-and-beam construction,...I'd advise against the post-and-beam construction, simply because you haven't lived on the farm for long. You might find yourself with a situation where you're saying "Dangit, if only I'd built this thing a few yards that-a-way.." Carport or metal shed, either one is going to be easier to move if you have to. Go cheap now and maybe you can build something more substantial with on-farm materials later?<BR/>-DaveAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01531837264842306078noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35188043.post-57271337466675596022008-10-30T09:29:00.000-05:002008-10-30T09:29:00.000-05:00Just make sure whatever you decide is anchored int...Just make sure whatever you decide is anchored into the ground well enough that it doesn't take off in the wind like you chicken coop did! :)Timhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12981395044699080982noreply@blogger.com
