Machine Storage

Orton Companies builds machine storage buildings in Minnesota for farms that need tractors, headers, and implements out of the weather. We design post-frame machine sheds with the eave height, bay spacing, and gravel or slab floors that field equipment actually requires.

Who we build this for

Row-crop, livestock, and hobby farms that are parking six-figure iron outside or cramming implements into a barn that was never sized for today’s headers.

What we offer

• Tall eaves and wide bays for modern machinery
• Open or partially enclosed sides for fast in-and-out
• Lean-tos for implements and grain extras
• Gravel, concrete, or hybrid floors
• Natural light and task lighting for after-dark repairs
• Snow-load and wind design for open Minnesota sites

How we build it

We measure the tallest tractor and the longest header first, then set posts so you can park without a three-point turn through a door that is too narrow. Roof drainage is planned away from the apron.

The process

1. 01

   Your site and how you will use it

   Orton Companies walks the property, maps access, drainage, and utilities, and locks how you will use the building so it fits Minnesota code and your daily work.

2. 02

   Design and materials

   We produce a clear layout, how the building will look from the street, and a steel-and-timber package sized for snow load, wind, and the way you will actually use the space.

3. 03

   Construction

   A licensed crew sets posts or frame, encloses the shell, and finishes doors, roof, and interiors on a schedule built for Minnesota seasons.

4. 04

   Walkthrough

   You walk the finished building with us, we close the punch list, and you get a space ready for equipment, animals, customers, or living — from the same team that designed it.
