New storage for trucks almost done! - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Has anyone here had any experience with Cover-all storage buildings?
Here is the one I put up this Spring, now to find a windless day to pull the cover on. I do not wish to be blown into Canada

It is 74 x 30 and will keep my old fleet high and dry.

I neighbor near me just put one up a few weeks ago. He had a whole gang to help with the cover. It looks sturdy enough to withstand the New England winter onslaught.

He is using it to house his lawn and plowing business equipment.

No experience putting them up but if it's a real coverall brand of building the manufacturing plant is here in Saskatoon. A Coverall will withstand most of what mother nature can throw at them. We have lots of them around town. The actuall manufacturing plant is nothing more than a Coverall and we get snow. wind and serious nasty cold here.

Thanks Jeff and stingray for the reply's. I am on top of a hill and it will be interesting to see if it will survive the wind we get. The old timers of this area
called this place " The Windy Farm". Mike

Well the big Cover-Alls around here will at one point or another have to live through 50-70 MPH gusts. Every so often we get a nasty plough wind that'll take the roof off of a house or industrial building so I expect the engineering that needed to be done to keep these together has been done. If not Cover-All will be pretty embarrassed when their plant blows down.

Since they started here you see lots of them around this area. I personally haven't heard of one blowing over yet. Of course lots has to do with how you anchor it down and assemble everything. From what I've seen you probably aren't going to have any problems that a hard building wouldn't have.

Check out their web site http://www.coverall.net/

The big ones on the bottom are the plant here on the outskirts of town and are big enough to swallow the two storey buildings in front of them.

How much does one of those run

TP from Cntl PA · 10-21-2004, 01:28 PM

Hey, I just got one as well! Still working on getting it up(have it half up and if it quits raining I can finish it)............I got a 26'x48' with a 12' high ceiling for some of the higher farm equipment I am keeping in it.......I also opted for the garage door on one end and enclosed end on the other.

Mine will be for truck and tractor storage. Oh, got it from FarmTek

It is better built than what I pictured for sure. TAX FREE TOO!

Hi, mine cost around 4000 with the shipping. The cover is covered by a 20
year warranty and has a 8' skylight built in. One of the best parts as mentioned, NO TAXES on this storage building. Now to finish and post the end result. Thanks to all for their replys. Mike

Hopefully, I'll get mine most of the way done tomorrow

Hi Randy, I put the frame up single handed. I had the use of my two tractors
with bucket loaders or I would have had a lot harder time doing so. I heard it is best to have a few people for the cover and now I am trying to find the right time to put on before winter sets in. The wind blows a lot on the hill.
