Not sure if this is the right place to post. I built a carport off the side of my shed for my tractor and implements did not want to put sides on it. Will this protect the equipment or should I add sides thanks.

I think if it was me I would add sides and leave the ends open that way you could drive through it . Drive in one end unhook and drive out the other.

Was originally thinking the same thing but I put my implements on Dolly's and I can move them around and hook them up from the open side.

Will only get wet in hard rain I am in Florida so no snow. Will it hurt it to not be fully covered
The less electronics get wet the better, even though tractors are supposed to be outdoor creatures. You don't have snow to deal with, but salt air...not sure what would be best.
Salt air is a killer on chrome,, but like suggested most all would enclose at least one side the less you have exposed the less chance of something going a miss,, also if the guy down the street dont see it he aint gona ask to borrow it 
Good pointSalt air is a killer on chrome,, but like suggested most all would enclose at least one side the less you have exposed the less chance of something going a miss,, also if the guy down the street dont see it he aint gona ask to borrow it
That's the main reason I built it. We have a ten year old JD tractor that looks about 20 years old from sitting in the Florida sun
I also suggest a wall. My thoughts, a wall is harder to knock out than a single post. One little oversight and support post is gone. I try to be careful but sometimes forget about implement on back. My son tagged a post in the barn the other day. Knocked a chunk out of it. Hydro pole cand take a few knocks.
Thanks guys I appreciate the feedback. Might do the wall this spring or sooner if I get the spare money and time to line up.

One other consideration being in humid Florida, that can wet the entire tractor... that is dew point condensation.. i.e. when you have a cold night and tractor metal is at a low temperature and warm, most air hits it during the day.. The moisture in the air will condense on everything, especially the large massive parts... I live in North Carolina and the humidity does the same, unless the tractor is stored in a fully enclosed building.
Typically unavoidable unless you have a fully enclosed space to minimize.. Probably more than you might want to do, but something to as least something to think about.
Certainly keeping the rain and direct sun off of it is a big help. Seems that Kubota plastic (control knobs, etc) seems to fade and degrade easily with continuous exposure to UV.
