Steel Hay Barns

Prefabricated steel hay barns are no longer just places to keep your hay lying around until you need it. Instead, these structures offer reliable and surefire protection to your hay against scorching sun, rainfall, moisture, or snow.

Hay needs proper protection and care in order to prevent it from spoilage, and keeping it in good condition for an extended period of time can be challenging. With custom barns, you can effectively design the perfect structure for your hay storage needs and personalize it in terms of dimensions and layout.

As a farmer, maintaining the quality of your hay is critical to, in turn, maintaining the health of your animals. Moldy or dried hay can cause infections in your animals. Hence, for day-to-day smooth operations, it is ideal to store it within an enclosed structure that remains dry, moisture-free, pest- and fire-resistant, and airy.

If you are looking to keep hay or your tools and equipment, a hay barn can provide long-term storage because of its high durability and longevity, which makes it a perfect investment for your farm.

Additional Features to Add to Your Hay Barn

For a hay barn design to work the best for you, consider integrating amazing customizations that can efficiently blend your barn with your farm while meeting your aesthetic.

  • Custom width, length, and height
  • 12-gauge or 14-gauge steel frames
  • Windows (Size and type)
  • Doors (Size and type)
  • Color
  • Structural trim
  • Lean-to
  • Wainscot
  • Insulation (Double-bubble or Woven R-17)
  • Certification
  • Matching color screws
  • 26-gauge or 29-gauge steel panels

While these features are likely to enhance the functionality as well as appeal of your custom hay steel barns, there are some features that require a thought-out approach, such as:

Roof Styles

Based on the size of your barn, local climate conditions, budget, and load-bearing capacity requirements, you can opt for either of the following roofs:

Regular roof: These are the most economical option. They are perfect for mild weather conditions and smaller barns.

Boxed-Eave Roofs: They are priced between regular roofs and vertical roofs. Also known as horizontal roofs, they have a traditional appeal to them and can withstand moderate climates.

Vertical Roof: One of the most sturdy roofs, these are priced higher than the other two but offer immense protection and have a longer lifespan. Ideal for all-weather conditions, these are installed with additional supporting components and require less upkeep.

Why Choose Our Hay Storage Barns?

High Quality: We provide 100% galvanized steel rigid-quality hay storage structures that are likely to last for decades with minimal maintenance. Choosing structural steel over other materials is better due to its high resistance to most elements.

Finishing as Per Suiting: Along with the customizations opted for, you can also choose to opt for a color that can match your other farm buildings for a seamless look, go for color options that don't scratch easily, choose large color doors and windows for a timeless look, or add a lean-to, based on your choice of finishing.

Resilient Against Fire: Hay fires have been taking place in abundance, and one of the biggest issues is bad storage. Along with limiting the possibility of fire within the structure, a metal hay storage shelter is non-combustible, which means that even in the event of fire, it is unlikely to facilitate its spread or lose its integrity. For additional protection, you can add a coating of fire retardants.

Wide Doorways: When storing hay, you use large equipment like forklifts to transport it, which leads to requiring wider doorways for easy movement of this equipment. To avoid bumping into doors when entering or exiting the structure, you can opt for custom door dimensions for your prefabricated hay barn.

Pest Resistant: Metal barns are inorganic in nature, unlike wooden buildings, which deters pests like termites and insects from infesting the structure.

Low Maintenance: Hay storage can leave your barns untidy and dirty. However, because of their non-porous characteristics, steel hay barns are extremely easy to clean and can be hosed down once in a while.

Investing in Affordable Prefab Hay Metal Barn

Prefab hay barns are produced in a controlled factory setting and are assembled on-site. This further reduces the hay barn prices due to lower transportation and labor costs and also makes assembling easier and quicker.

Whether you go for hay barns for sale or not, we offer affordable structures that can be designed to fit your requirements as well as your budget. A few common hay barn dimensions are — 36'x21', 36'x36', 42'x26', 44'x31', 46'x36', and 48'x26'.

You can also opt for custom barn sizes based on the land you have available. As per your requirements, you can also go for our roof-only 48' x 31' x 12' barns or completely enclosed 44' x 30' x 12' barns.

Tips to Properly Store Hay in Your Steel Barn

  • Ensure proper airflow in order to reduce moisture and mold growth.
  • Use pallets or racks to keep hay bales off the ground.
  • Store bales with adequate space to let air circulate.
  • Seal any gaps to prevent rodents or insects from entering.
  • Regularly inspect for dampness or condensation and remove any affected bales.
  • Rotate your hay bales to use the oldest first so they don't lose their nutrients.
