    I have an out farm rented also where I keep the yearlings in winter. It had a slatted shed which I use. It also has a leantoo offthis which had cubicals before but the farmer blew them out and put down all concrete. Now I park the tractor in there out the weather as I need one over there in the winter to put in bales of silage.


    the shed is closed in bar an opening of about 10ft(high) x9ft roughly. anyway I fit the tractor in. now when its wet the inside of the shed gets all wet and the tractor becomes damp. I would make a sliding door if I thought it was the wind and the rain making the inside wet or is it just dampness? if you knelt down in the concrete your knees would come up damp afterwards.


    the shed is made of cavity blocks and then a leanto. built around the 1980s. its on a slope aswell.


    would it be a waste making the door or is it possible the wind is blowing the rain in and wetting the whole shed?

    Sounds like not enough air getting in and its condensation U couldn't have enough air getting in especially when there is cattle in it

    is it separate to the slatted shed as in there is a mass wall at that side and then sheeted the rest of the way up and cavity block around the rest.
