I agree with Paul's overall assessment, however here are a few items. In the beginning, I was purchasing more than could be shedded. Experience had taught me that a cheap tarp was good for 6 months, and an ultraviolet resistant tarp was good for 12 months, if sharp corners were avoided. For smaller pieces of machinery (not a SP combine) I thought it was cheaper to tarp, rather than rent storage. To avoid abrasion wear, I constructed a tight 2X4 frame over the equipment and if necessry used old inner tubes to cushion the sharp corners. Also as time passed, I had older tarps which I used under the new tarps for cushioning. This method will really not work well with equipment frequently used, too much work to put in and out of "storage". With seasonal machinery not as bad. This lasted a few years until I had another shed built. Building a temporary shed from "seconds" was really not considered. "Temporaries" all too often seem to become permanant. However in your circumstances; ie, a couple of combines, swathers and tractors, it eventually would become overwhelming.
