Machinery & Equipment Needs

Before embarking on the design process, it is crucial to assess your current and future equipment needs. Consider the size, dimensions, and weight of your equipment, as well as any additional accessories or attachments. This assessment will help determine the necessary space and structural requirements for your machine shed.

Site Location & Layout

Carefully evaluate the site location for your new machine shed. Factors such as accessibility, proximity to other buildings, and the orientation of the shed should be taken into account. As far as the actual machine shed layout, you need to consider the flow of vehicles, the usage of space, and the proper placement of equipment for easy access and maintenance.

Ventilation & Lighting

Proper ventilation and lighting are other essential aspects our construction company looks into. Adequate ventilation helps prevent the buildup of moisture and reduces the risk of corrosion on agricultural equipment, while sufficient lighting ensures a safe working environment. Discuss these aspects with your Prairie Construction representative to include them in the final design.

Security

Machine sheds often store expensive assets that are expensive or difficult to replace. Therefore, security features should be considered during the design process. This may include the installation of security cameras, alarm systems, and secure storage solutions to protect these valuable assets.
