WE have an older Quonset, from the late '40s., 40' x 110'. We did put a 24' wide overhead door in it back in the '70s. When equipment was a lot smaller back in the '50s early '60s it was OK. You back a piece of equipment up against the walls on each soide & still have room to move equipment down the middle. Now everything has to be backed in a parked length wise . Always works out that what we want is in the back of the building so everything in front of it has to come out, then put back in. With today's larger equipment you lose a lot of space along the wall because of the curvature of the building. Main use for ours is storing semi trailers in it. Even with a hopper bottom we lose enough space along the wall that you can walk between the trailer & the wall. Building has been pretty much maintenience free since it was put up. Only had to screw down a couple sheets of metal after a big storm back in 2000. If something were to happen to it I wouldn't put up another one.
