Quonset buildings are a familiar sight on the Canadian prairies. 50 years ago, they were affordable to build and provided plenty of room for storage and equipment maintenance. But as the years passed and farm equipment continued to grow, many of these buildings, or rather, their doors, are now too small for most farm equipment.
Ken Rempel, a Manitoba egg and grain farmer, agrees. “Before we installed our new door, we had trouble getting our equipment in,” he says. For years, he’s used his quonset to service equipment and provide space for any manufacturing they may need. He says that “A new door would make this easier because we were able to go wider and higher.”
While he had considered an overhead door, it couldn’t provide the height and width he needed to get his farm equipment into his quonset. That’s when he turned to Diamond Doors.
“We chose a bifold door from Diamond Doors because it’s the only door we could find that we could utilize 100% of our ceiling height and… width,” Ken says.
