Hay Storage
A steel building from General Steel is the most reliable solution for a hay storage facility. Whether you’re storing small squares, large squares, or round bales, a steel building or structure will protect and preserve your hay better than any other option. Our steel structures feature clear span framing, allowing for column-free interiors that maximize space. A steel hay barn facility is the most efficient and cost-effective solution for long-term hay storage.

Collaborating with Our Team on Your Design
Working with General Steel is a collaborative process that ensures that your final product reflects your specific needs. The process starts with a two-way conversation between you and our experienced team. We want to know exactly how you will be using your agricultural building, how it will fit within your property, and your ideas for interior and exterior design, among other factors. We then research the location of the building to ensure that it’s equipped to withstand the wind and snow loads of your area as well as any insulation requirements.
Once we get an idea of what building kit best suits your project, we work with you to add customization options, including a wide variety of doors, windows, and exterior color schemes. The ease of steel construction allows us to modify layouts and add further customizations without breaking your budget. From design to construction, we provide the materials and expertise to transform a building kit into a fully functioning agricultural building.
Strength and Durability
Steel is the world’s premier building material because of its strength and durability. Steel has the highest strength-to-weight ratio of any construction material, which means steel components add strength without adding stress to a building’s frame. This strength gives you and our team more flexibility when it comes to designing your horse barn. And of course, a stronger, more secure structure protects your valued animals from dangerous weather events or fire
