Agricultural produce can be stored loose, in containers or on pallets. Each of these methods uses the building differently. It changes loads, transport and requirements for internal conditions. That is why an agro steel hall should not be ordered solely by the number of square metres. First you need to determine what will be inside, in what form and for how long. Include in the plan the method of preparing the product, the type of packaging and the rules for receiving deliveries. Dry grain, freshly harvested vegetables and finished packaging do not have the same needs. A steel hall provides space and cover, but the storage requirements derive from the product. Different solutions for temperature, ventilation and hygiene may be needed.

Repairing a machine in the passage between other equipment is inconvenient. Parts have nowhere to lie, tools take up the floor, and the gate has to stay open. A separate steel hall for the agricultural workshop allows these activities to be organised. However, a plan tailored to the actual repairs is needed. A place for routine servicing has different requirements from a bay for dismantling large assemblies. Start with the largest equipment that is to be handled indoors. Add space at the sides and places for setting down removed components. Check the opening of guards and access to the wheels. In a steel hall, one should not have to choose between access to the machine and keeping a passage clear. Such a conflict means that the bay is too small or badly laid out.
