Probably a metal frame carport, just be sure to anchor it real good to the ground, so's the wind don't take it away. Or maybe some sea cans for the smaller tractors... ------------- Source: Babylon Bee. Sponsored by BRAWNDO, its got what you need! |

Hoop barn or try harbor freight. I believe they sell oversized tents as temporary garages. Not sure on the sizes but have seen some large enough to put an rv in ------------- You only need to know 3 things to be a plumber;Crap rolls down hill,Hot is on the left and Don't bite your fingernails 1964 D-17 SIV 3 Pt.WF,1964 D-15 Ser II 3pt.WF ,1960 D-17 SI NF,1956 WD 45 WF. |

| I used a hoop tarp shelter for 3 years. It was cheep at menards and fairly easy to assemble the zippered door in the front sucked I usually just left it rolled around a pvc that it put through the bottom loop and tied it open Tie it down real well.I had a 190 in mine. |

I just needed a 20 x 20 shed for a year while building Sons Barn.. We got a carport type unit... Company assembled it in 2 hours on site.... Sold it a year later for about 90% of what we paid for it.. ------------- Like them all, but love the "B"s. |

Carport style might be best. A hoop the size I need cost a serious amount. Thanks, Tracy ------------- No greater gift than healthy grandkids! |

| Look into a shipping container unless it wouldnt be big enough for your tractors, inside of them you have finished walls, ceiling and solid floor. They are pretty much weatherproof. When you get one you can set them on railroad ties and they can be dropped and done in a couple hours. |

And no property tax on shipping containers

Get 2 40 ft containers and put side by side but 20 ft apart. Then get a truss roof and cover it. That gives you a fair bit of space and 2 lockable areas.Quick and simple.

That is a great way of doing it. If you cannot stand the looks of a container after a while put posts in remove containers and put siding up. I have been really surprised at how tight containers can be, not one sign of a mouse every in the one I was in the most. And 50 feet away in a old barn pack rats filled the engine compartment on New Holland tractor 2 different winters making it inoperable. The second time we had 2 or 3 different baits out and they chuted the air conditioner hoses completely in 2.
