Our client has been in the used tractor business for more than 40 years. In that time, he has accumulated a sizeable collection of restored tractors. He was looking for a place to store and display them.
Our design team worked closely with the client to design a tractor storage building to suit his collection and needs.
A pole structure was not going to do!
