Suitable 'shed' for the farm?

Now here’s an
interesting idea forwarded by Steve Poole:
In todays stock journal (page 25) there is an amazing photo of a HIQUAL structure, which is huge when you note the bloke standing in the entrance. It looks like a semi could tip in it! The ad contains the description:
“25 yr LIFESPAN, 15yr WARRANTEE - THE REAL ALTERNATIVE TO A STEEL SHED. Save $1,000's by erecting it yourself, no costly foundations required. Classed as temporary so council approval often not required. The covered, clear span building has been a popular design for many years. This is a robust construction that is engineered to withstand gale forced winds and endure years of harsh weather.”
Would this be suitable for semi free-range poultry system or growing tropical fuits etc? This one was $11,980 (neg). See link and pic below:

Farm Planting a big success!
13/07/09 16:49
A big thankyou to all those planters who braved a
day when we really all felt like staying in
bed. There are now 750 plants in the ground
which will make mincemeat of the North-westerlies
that we were battling on the day. For those
who couldn’t make it see the attached photos to
see the transformation.
A special thankyou to the Clampetts for their fabulous soup van which makes such a wonderful warm addition to our planting days, and to the soup makers Gillian, Jackie, Francois and Elizabeth. Also, how can I say enough about those folk lugging mulch – the mulching finished at 4 pm so it was a big day. I hope our plants are grateful and reward us well.
And won’t we enjoy the rain this week that much more!
