Agricultural steel buildings have overtaken buildings made from traditional materials all over the world due to their high durability, energy efficiency and customisability. They are used by farmers looking for a dry workspace or somewhere to store livestock, crops, equipment and farm machinery. Agricultural steel buildings can range in size from huge barns to smaller agricultural workshops. They are easy to expand if the buyer later requires more space, easy to maintain, fire-resistant and weatherproof.
The main advantage of steel agricultural buildings over traditional buildings is the speed and cost-effectiveness of their erection. Agricultural steel buildings are prefabricated and delivered to site in easy to assemble pieces. This not only lowers the cost of material involved but also requires less design work (as buildings are based on a number of set templates) and, since these buildings can be erected in as little as a few days, dramatically reduces the amount of labour required.
Agricultural Steel Buildings: The Options
There are a number of standard options for agricultural steel buildings, each appropriate for different uses.
-
Single-span portal-frame: Uniform cross section, pitched roof with central spine and gable ends where doors are normally located. No internal trusses or columns so maximum useable space. Good for workshops and smaller barns.
-
Propped portal-frame: Larger buildings require additional support for heavy roofs in the form of a line of columns supporting the central spine, or a line of columns either side of it.
-
Sloping roof: Short wall at one end, tall wall at the other with a sloping roof between and a trapezoidal cross-section. Good for small storage buildings or ones which need to have a large opening open at one end.
-
Specialist: Some agricultural steel building suppliers will have ready-made templates for e.g. cow sheds, milking parlours, granaries, stables etc.
Agricultural Steel Buildings: The Process
Suppliers of agricultural steel buildings normally provide a complete service from design to build. They will help guide you through the planning process, arrange for planning inspections, prepare the groundwork, deliver the materials and project-manage the construction. If you’re replacing or expanding an existing structure a steel building company can survey your existing frame to see if it’s sound and useable and plan your project accordingly. If what’s there currently needs to be dismantled and taken away they can arrange this for you.
