Cover-All Perfect Fit for Manufacturing Expansion

When Redekop Manufacturing, an agricultural manufacturer of field straw chopping equipment, was looking to expand its business operations, Cover-All® was the logical choice after researching a number of building options.

“Back in 2003 we realized we needed more space for storage and testing equipment,” says Gary Redekop, Redekop Manufacturing. “Wind is a big factor when we are testing equipment; we needed a large area that would be sheltered from the wind so we could accurately monitor equipment tests and performance. We looked at a number of different building manufacturers, but Cover-All was the perfect solution for us.”

The versatility of the structure and the clear-span space were two factors that impressed Redekop about Cover-All®. “Within a week the building was installed and we were able to get all of our machinery in the building without dealing with poles. We can comfortably park six combines in the building, no problem, says Redekop. “We can also easily add onto the building in the future if needed.”

Cover-All® buildings are designed in accordance with the structural requirements of building code and can be expanded or relocated at any time to suit the changing needs of the business. To lengthen a Cover-All® TITAN® building is as simple as removing the end wall and adding additional bays. The building can also be disassembled and reinstalled in an alternate location if required. Classifying a Cover-All® building as a temporary structure can also result in lower taxes.

The unique DuraWeave® membrane cover of a Cover-All® building allows natural light to penetrate the building, creating a pleasant year round work environment. There is little need for lights during the day, which results in lower operating costs. “I love the natural light”, says Redekop. “Our workers can work in here all day long. It’s always a bright, naturally lit environment.”

Redekop could not be more pleased with his new building. “Our machinery and workers are out of the wind and protected from the extreme winter climate. The building is working great for our R & D tests and protecting equipment that can cost hundreds of thousands of dollars per unit. I would definitely buy another Cover-All…in a heartbeat!”
