Clear-Span Ag Equipment Building
A 60 × 100 clear-span equipment building sized around the machinery it stores, with door openings and drainage designed before the frame was ordered.

Scope of work
SCOPE · FR-003- 01 Crowned building pad with an uphill swale and gravel approach
- 02 Engineered slab thickened for loaded equipment wheel loads
- 03 60 × 100 clear-span red-iron kit erection
- 04 Two 20 × 14 insulated overhead doors
- 05 Ridge vent and under-roof vapor barrier for condensation control
The challenge
The equipment list drives everything on a building like this. A combine head and a folded sprayer boom set the door widths, the door heights set the eave, and the eave and span set the frame — get that order backwards and you own a building your machinery does not fit through. The pad also sat across a gentle slope, which sends every storm toward the slab, and an uninsulated roof over a cold slab drips on stored equipment all winter.
The solution
We measured the machinery first and let the engineering follow: 20 × 14 door openings, a 16-foot eave, and a 60-foot clear span with no interior columns to plan around. The pad was crowned with a swale cut on the uphill side so water moves around the building, not through it, and the approach was graded wide enough to swing a trailered implement into either door without backing blind. A vapor barrier under the roof sheeting and a ridge vent keep condensation from raining off the purlins.
The outcome
Every piece of equipment on the place pulls straight in and turns around inside. The floor stays dry through spring storms, nothing drips from the roof in a January warm-up, and there is open span left over for whatever the next auction adds to the lineup.
