## Why You Should Choose an Open Sided Building

**

### Uses

 One of the most common uses for an open-sided or open-ended building is for farm equipment storage. They’re also often built for commercial uses: for example, as transportation depots for semis or buses, or as storage for lumber or plumbing.

**

### Advantages

 Some customers choose an open-sided building but plan to add doors at a later time. Others leave the floor unfinished or use gravel, which offers great drainage, with the intention of adding a concrete floor in the future.

**

### Flexibility

 Site flow is crucial for busy farmers focused on operating efficiently.  You’ll love that you don’t have to open and close a door to drive your tractor in and out. The result? Equipment is more accessible, meaning saved time and energy and higher profitability.
