Custom Metal Barns & Agricultural Buildings

A smarter investment to protect your livelihood for generations.

Your farm or ranch isn't just land; it's a high-value operation that deserves modern protection. Traditional wood barns require constant maintenance and are vulnerable to rot, termites, and fire. A metal barn is the superior choice, offering a robust, low-maintenance, and cost-effective solution engineered to safeguard your valuable livestock, feed, and machinery from the harshest elements.

At Steel Building Stores, we provide more than just a structure; we deliver a customized agricultural solution. We use high-quality American steel to fabricate buildings designed specifically for your needs—whether it's a horse barn with custom stalls, a massive hay storage facility, or a secure workshop for your tractors. Our commitment is to provide a durable, reliable building that works as hard as you do.

The Right Barn Style for Your Needs

Choosing the right design is the first step toward a truly functional building. We offer two main styles to accommodate different operations and budgets.

  • Horse Barns (Carolina Style):

    This is our most popular design for equestrian applications. It features a raised center aisle that provides excellent ventilation and two side lean-tos that can be customized as stalls, tack areas, or equipment storage. It's the ideal solution for the safety and comfort of your horses.

  • Continuous Roof Barns (Seneca Style):

    This robust and more economical design features a straight, continuous roofline. It's a fantastic option for hay storage, heavy machinery protection, or as a general-purpose barn, offering a massive, sheltered interior space at an exceptional cost.

Customize Your Barn for Maximum Functionality

We design every building to work for you. Tailor your barn with features that are essential for your daily operations.

  • Stalls, Tack Rooms, and Storage

    We can design the interior with custom stalls, secure tack rooms, and fully enclosed storage areas for feed, seed, or valuable tools.

  • Large Doors for Machinery & Livestock Access

    From oversized roll-up doors for your combine harvester or tractor to frame-outs and gates for easy livestock access, we configure the entry and exit points your operation requires.

  • Ventilation & Insulation

    The health of your livestock is paramount. We offer various ventilation options, such as gable vents, and insulation to help maintain a healthy environment and regulate the temperature year-round.

  • Lean-To Additions

    Easily add affordable, covered space to the sides of your main barn. Lean-tos are perfect for storing equipment, sheltering smaller vehicles, or creating shaded areas for livestock.

What Every Farmer and Rancher Asks

  • Is it cheaper to build a metal barn or a wood/pole barn?

    Generally, metal is more cost-effective. The initial cost of materials and construction is often lower, but the real savings come in the long term with near-zero maintenance, no need for painting, and no worries about rot or termites.

  • How much does a 40x60 metal barn cost?

    The price of a 40x60 barn varies depending on the style (like 'Carolina' or 'Seneca'), height, and customizations such as stalls or large doors. The best way to get an exact price is to request a detailed quote based on your design.

  • What are the disadvantages of a metal barn?

    The main consideration is condensation, which is effectively managed with proper insulation. Overall, the benefits in durability, cost, and safety far outweigh this consideration.

  • How long will a steel frame barn last?

    Decades. A galvanized steel structure is engineered to resist rust and corrosion, far exceeding the lifespan of a traditional wood barn. We back the durability of our buildings with extensive warranties.

  • Does a metal barn add value to my property?

    Yes, definitely. A functional, durable, and low-maintenance agricultural building is a highly valuable asset that significantly increases the value and usability of any farm or ranch property.

  • What is the cheapest type of barn to build?

    Typically, a continuous roof barn (Seneca style) with a standard design is the most cost-effective way to get a large amount of sheltered and protected space.

  • What kind of foundation does a large barn need?

    For large barns, a concrete foundation, such as a perimeter slab with piers or a full slab, is recommended to ensure maximum stability and security, especially in areas with high winds.

  • Can I customize the interior with horse stalls?

    Absolutely! We custom-design the interior. We can incorporate the number and size of stalls you need, tack rooms, wash bays, and more, all within the same building.

  • Why are metal buildings considered cheaper?

    Their cost-effectiveness comes from several factors: mass-produced materials, a much faster construction process (lower labor costs), and significantly less maintenance over their lifespan.

  • Is a metal barn better for livestock?

    Yes. Steel does not harbor pests or mold, which creates a healthier environment. With proper ventilation and insulation, it provides a safe, temperature-regulated shelter for livestock year-round.
