Key Benefits of Adding a Steel Building to Your Farm

Whether you’re a farmer or involved in livestock production, you need a reliable and durable building to protect your valuable assets — a structure that can withstand any weather and adapt to your evolving needs, such as a metal steel building.
Meeting the demands of the fast-changing agriculture industry
At Armstrong Steel, we recognize the agricultural industry’s need to keep up with the increasing pressure to produce more and meet the growing population’s needs. Our steel farm buildings can help increase efficiency and productivity while minimizing long-term costs.
In addition, today’s agricultural landscape is more fast-paced than before, making it essential for farmers like you to adopt better practices for your business and operations. Our pre-engineered steel buildings are the answer to that, thanks to their versatility, low maintenance requirements, and durability.
As metal steel buildings continue to redefine standards in farm structures, we at Armstrong Steel remain committed to delivering pre-engineered structures that offer vast benefits to modern farmers. And as a leading fabricator of pre-engineered steel buildings, we offer the widest range of popular and modern designs and sizes for any application. We customize these structures to meet your exact requirements — whether you need a metal barn, a horse stable, or a chicken shed.
Benefits of using a steel building on your farm
Pre-engineered steel buildings are changing the game in farm construction. At Armstrong Steel, we produce custom prefabricated metal structures that meet any farmer’s need for a low-maintenance, versatile, and long-lasting solution. Below are the key benefits of adding one to your farm.
- Durability – Metal steel buildings are well-known for their durability, making them ideal as farm structures. They can withstand harsh weather, even heavy snowfall, hurricanes, and high winds. These buildings laugh at earthquakes and other potentially damaging natural phenomena.
- Designed to last – To ensure structural stability, we at Armstrong Steel engineer your metal barn according to your area’s building codes and load requirements. Additionally, we coat roof panels with Galvalume, an aluminum compound that keeps rusting at bay and effectively increases their lifespan.
- Non-combustible structures – Farm assets are expensive, from the tools to the equipment, machinery, and vehicles. The same goes for livestock. All these require dependable protection not just from harsh weather but from disasters like fires. Metal steel buildings are non-combustible, making them unlikely to burn down and be completely destroyed by fire. In turn, this could help reduce your insurance premiums.
- Versatility for any application – Prefabricated metal farm buildings are highly customizable for any application, including hay and crop storage and animal housing. This versatility allows us to meet any size requirement while ensuring a building that can adapt to your changing requirements down the road.
- Framing systems to meet your needs – One of the reasons steel buildings are versatile is the range of framing systems available, such as modular and clear-span. This ensures that your metal barn can meet your specific application, whether for housing livestock and farm equipment or crop storage.
Create a quintessential red barn
In most cases, you won’t be able to tell that a barn is made from metal. Our pre-engineered metal steel buildings can be finished with almost any construction material. They support all exterior and interior finishes, including different roof and wall systems. All this will ensure your farm building won’t look and feel like an industrial warehouse.
A farm building that adapts to your needs
Pre-engineered metal buildings come in almost any size. This allows us to meet your length, width, or height requirements based on your unique situation. It’s possible to achieve uninterrupted interior space with clear-span layouts if you prefer. Also, expanding your building in the future is easy as these buildings offer limitless options for length and width extensions.
Cost-effective farm buildings
Do you want to build your new farm structures quickly and cost-effectively? Pre-engineered metal steel buildings are the answer. At Armstrong Steel, every component of your structure is engineered to fit seamlessly. The pre-punched connections and numbered components simplify assembly, especially with our detailed guides. Plus, we provide a step-by-step erection guide specific to your building. All these can help reduce labor costs while avoiding waste.
Build faster
Traditional wood-frame structures will take several months to complete. Prefabricated steel buildings can be assembled and erected quickly, taking only at least a few weeks or months.
Pay only for the materials used
At Armstrong Steel, we make the most of the materials for metal steel buildings. By designing and building your metal barn in-house, we avoid residual waste, so you pay only for the materials that were actually used.
Energy-efficient farm buildings
Steel farm buildings are more energy-efficient than those made from traditional materials like wood. So you can enjoy lower utility bills. Rigid-frame metal structures are easy to insulate to avoid moisture problems and uncomfortable temperatures, ultimately contributing to long-term savings in maintenance and heating or cooling bills.
