Agricultural Barn

 

Metal agricultural buildings offer great protection for farm equipment and even livestock, but these traditional units are not only for farm use. In fact, many of our customers opt to construct a metal agricultural barn for their vehicles. Since these lean-tos can be open or closed, there’s always the advantage of enclosing your lean-to and transforming it into a little storage room.

 

Here is a good example of a metal agricultural building being used alternatively than the traditional farm use:

 

18’W x 31’L x 12’H (Main Unit)

• A-Frame Horizontal Roof

• 2 – 10′ x 10′ Roll-Up Doors (one on each end)

 

12’W x 31’L x 10’/8’H (Lean-To’s)

• A-Frame Horizontal Roof

• Double Walk-in Door (right lean-to)

• 9′ x 7′ Roll-Up Door (left lean-to)

• Concrete Anchors (90-MPH Wind Warranty)

 

 

Please note that American Steel Carports does not offer any type of concrete work and your surface must be level in order to get the unit installed.

 

This metal unit is fully enclosed with our double walk-in doors and our A-frame horizontal roof (boxed eave), which give it a unique look.

Ready For the Summer with Your Future Metal AG Barn?

Let the summer season begin!

 

Today can be the appropriate time to start looking for a metal building that will protect your livestock from the burning sun. Most southern regions tend to be affected by high seasonal temperatures, so it’s very important to keep your livestock safe and protected from that heat.

 

What about strong winds?

 

We can certify your metal building to stand against inclement weather. The pricing will vary depending on your area, since some regions might receive stronger winds than others. However, we believe that it’s better to add protection and be safe at all times.

 

How can a unit get certified for winds?

 

As mentioned above, it all depends on which region you’re located in. To ensure the specific wind rates, it is necessary to contact your city or visit your local city building department. Moving forward, the main protection is the addition of extra anchors. Remember, we do offer rebar anchors (temporary anchors) for free, but they do not offer any type of guarantee. For security against up to 90-mph winds, it’s far better to get our mobile home, asphalt, or concrete anchors. If you expect winds that are even stronger than 90 mph, we can add more supports and anchors to engineer certify your building up to 120 mph.

 

With all of this valuable information, you don’t have to worry! You can choose the type of carport and design that you like the most without having to think about the weather. This customer in Loving, New Mexico decided to get a 48’W x 31’L x 12/7’H  agricultural metal building:
