Get your fleet out of the snow.

Building Depot is the Authorized MegaDome Dealer for Ontario and equipment storage buildings are one of the most-specified MegaDome configurations across the province. Engineered equipment storage buildings combine a hot-dip galvanized steel arch frame with a high-tenacity PVC membrane to deliver a clear-span, naturally lit, corrosion-resistant envelope that lasts decades with a fraction of the operating cost of conventional steel or wood construction.

Tractors, combines, planters, sprayers and tillage equipment that overwinter outdoors lose meaningful service life to UV, moisture and freeze-thaw cycles. A MegaDome equipment building gives an Ontario farm or contractor a clear-span, drive-through cover that protects equipment without the cost or columns of a conventional pole shed. Clear-span widths to 140 feet fit any modern combine head, sprayer boom or tillage train without folding, and full-width endwall doors mean equipment drives straight through without manoeuvring.

Building Depot equipment buildings are also widely used by municipal patrol yards, construction contractors, snow-and-ice operators and forestry crews — anyone with high-value seasonal equipment that needs to be kept under cover without the price tag of a fully insulated heated shop.

This page is the complete Ontario reference for equipment storage buildings — covering benefits, applications, construction process, engineering, foundation options, installation, warranty and ongoing maintenance. Every Building Depot project is delivered turnkey under one accountable contract: in-house engineering, stamped Ontario drawings, municipal permit management, foundation construction, fabric installation and full commissioning. One contract, one project manager, one phone number from kickoff to keys.

Every Building Depot equipment storage buildings project follows the same disciplined sequence. It starts with a site visit and a needs interview so we understand the operation, the equipment moving through the building, the access routes and any local zoning or conservation constraints. From there our in-house designer produces a stamped engineering package — building dimensions, foundation, ventilation, door layouts and any internal partitions — sized to the application and engineered to the site's snow, wind and exposure category under the Ontario Building Code.

The stamped package goes straight into the municipal permit submission. Building Depot manages the back-and-forth with the local building department and coordinates any conservation authority, site plan or zoning approvals required for the site. While the permit is in review, the foundation crew is mobilized and the steel order goes into production so the project moves the day the permit is issued.

On site, the foundation runs first — pier, slab, L-block or curb wall, depending on the configuration. Steel arches are raised next using a mobile crane and the Building Depot install crew, the fabric membrane is tensioned over the engineered ratchet system, end walls are framed and clad, and any door, lighting or ventilation systems are commissioned. The owner gets one accountable contract, one project manager and one weekly status update from contract signing through to keys.
