Missouri John Deere Pre-Engineers the Perfect Space
WHEN YOU SELL LARGE TRACTORS, vehicles, and farm equipment, everything needs to be bigger: bigger showroom, bigger wash bay, and bigger machine shop. So when Sydenstricker Nobbe Partners Implement dealership was looking to build a new location, they decided to build it their way, with a pre-engineered steel building from Sukup Manufacturing Co.
The basic steel building can be customized in shape, size, color, and with an assortment of accessories including doors, windows, canopies, parapet walls, and interior room separators. With room to build, Snyderstricker Nobbe Partners Implement decided on three total buildings with a total square footage of 46,900!
The customer chose the Sukup 24ga Galvalume CXP trapezoidal standing seam roof panel on all three buildings and a Sukup 24ga Galvalume SA-16 architectural standing seam roof panel for the canopy.
The standing seam roof panel is mechanically rolled on site, creating a superior weather-tight seal where roofing panels are joined.
At the front of the building they decided to accent their impressive showroom with a skewed building entry corner. The central entrance opens up the front of the building to welcome customers parked on either side of the building. A custom 10′- wide canopy wraps around the unique entryway. Custom trims were fabricated to enclose the support beams and give them a finished look.
Snyderstricker Nobbe Partners Implement also decided to add some visual interest to the front of the dealership with parapet walls in alternate accent sheeting colors. The entrance matches the rest of the building with 26ga MSP wall panel in Ash Gray and is flanked by the same style panels in Charcoal Gray. The parapet walls raised above the roof line allowed ample room for signage on both sides of the entrance. Inside the showroom, several offices and a parts area with storage divide the cavernous space into usable segments while leaving plenty of room for the tractor models on display. Behind the showroom are two clear span buildings large enough to maintain even the largest John Deere vehicles. The rigid steel framing of the mechanic shop is designed for the addition of a 5-ton overhead crane system that will run the length of the building. The back wall of the building features a heavy duty 45′-wide by 16′-tall hydraulic door. The wash bay is fully lined to protect the insulation from the constant presence of water. RB
