The chess board building

It's a long way off the road, and only the fact that it's painted like a chess board made me notice it.

It's a big building, each of those red squares is a metre across and it's located in the middle of a marsh, about two miles off the main road. I parked my car and walked to it last Saturday evening and there wasn't a soul around.

What is it and what is its purpose? It's a shed for keeping farm machinery! Why is it painted like it is? To attract aliens or maybe it's just quirky, I don't know but I like it.
