Weatherford Carports › Services › Farm Equipment Covers
Weatherford Carports gets Parker County landowners a call back from a local carport installer for equipment covers. Request a free quote and talk through size, height and where it goes on the property. A tractor, a shredder and a stock trailer left in the pasture take sun and hail all year. An open-sided cover keeps them dry for a fraction of what a full barn would take.
Equipment covers are usually wide, tall carports set out on acreage, and the details are different from a cover in a driveway.
Height for the tallest machine
Measure the tractor with its loader raised to the height you need while parking, or to the top of the ROPS bar or cab. A hay trailer stacked with round bales or a gooseneck with high sides may be taller still. Leg height sets the clearance at the eave, so plan for the highest item you will pull in.
If you store hay, keep bales up off wet ground on pallets or gravel and think about blowing rain from the open sides.
Placement on open acreage
Pick a spot close to where the equipment works, with a firm approach that stays usable after rain. Avoid low ground where water collects. Orient the open side away from the prevailing north wind if you can. On open land, wind exposure is high, so ask about certified wind ratings, extra bracing and anchors suited to rocky or clay soil.
Check the delivery route. Long trusses arrive on a truck that has to get through your gate and across the field.
Walls, lean-tos and rules on rural land
Many owners close the north side or one end to stop winter wind. Unincorporated Parker County generally does not issue building permits, but deed restrictions and floodplain rules can still apply, so check with the county. To add cover beside an existing barn, see lean-to carports, or go wider with triple-wide carports.

Is an equipment cover cheaper than a barn?
Usually, since it skips walls, doors and a slab. It gives shelter, not security.
