Hey everyone this is my 1st post but I have been reading as much here as possible. My question is that I have a used CUT and a small riding mower that I want to build a run in shed to keep dry, I was thinking about making it 24' long by 10' deep and 10 ft tall, do you think that will be large enough? I do have some attatchments to store also. Thanks in advance

By run in shed I assume you mean a three sided shed.
Building a three sided run in shed the size you mention will be fine although the open side will be subjected to the elements meaning a driving rain will be blown in the open side getting the equipment wet. If you don't have doors you may want to make it deeper or if most of your driving rains / bad weather come from the west, have the open side facing east.
Almost forgot to mention. Welcome to the group.

Do yourself a favor and build it as large as you can afford.
You will get more and more toys er tools and you will need all the room you can get.

Can you fit anything in 10 foot deep shed??? Seems it won't cover the CUT unless it is 16 feet deep. Someday you might get a little bigger one, or one with a loader. I just don't see a 10 foot depth being worthwhile.
You get a loader, the tractor, and a tiller or other implement on the back, and you are looking at 20 feet, not 10 feet? Be sure to plan ahead to what you will have, not just what you have now.
Welcome to the place.

Make the shed as big as you possibly can. Stuff accumulates and it lasts a lot longer if it is out of the weather.

Tractor with a loader on it and a cutter on the back will fill about 20 ft of the 24. Leaving room for the mower. No real room for any other attachments.
If it's all you can afford for now, go for it. If you can make it bigger do that. Try and see how you can plan for easy expansion in the future, just in case.

- Getting old. Sold the ranch. Sold the tractors. Moved back to the city.
This is the shed I built last year for my haying equipment. It's 20x28 ft with 10ft height on the open side and dropping to 9 ft on the opposite side. Pole frame with 29 ga metal siding and roofing. Eleven 4x6 pressure treated posts with Simpson post bases. 2x4 girts and purlins. 2x8 rafters. 4x12 main beams on two rows of 3 posts. 4x10 beams on the row with 5 posts. 4x4 knee braces fastened by 1/2x6" lag bolts.
My Mahindra 5525 with the ML250 FEL and a pair of clamp-on forks came in handy for setting the beams onto the tops of the posts.
There's about $3200 in materials and 2 months of my labor in that project.
These sheds fill up fast. I've already staked out jobsites for 2 more sheds. I'll get around to those eventually.
