There are several reasons why metal and steel farm buildings are a great choice for storing supplies and housing livestock. Farmers and ranchers are always looking for better facilities that drive down their costs and improve their business practices. Metal and steel farm buildings are popular in Florida, as they are easier to maintain, more durable, and more affordable than other options.
Metal and steel buildings are becoming the standard in the agricultural industry because they offer protection from the environment, can be constructed quickly, and are affordable. Agricultural and livestock farmers in the United States are choosing metal and steel farm buildings because they get protection from vandals, pests, fire, storm damage and high winds. Metal storage sheds also require minimal maintenance and offer better returns on investment.
Farm buildings have been around for years, and they will continue to be around for several years. The only difference is that farm structures are more durable and long-lasting than before, and metal farm buildings in Florida have become even more affordable with Keen’s Buildings. Here are some of the reasons why they should be your choice as well:
1. Can be customized to specific needs
All farmers and ranchers have unique and different needs for their farm building or barn. It doesn’t matter if you are a chicken farmer who wants to have temperature control in the building or a pig farmer who wants proper ventilation in the structure. A metal farm building can be customized to meet any type of farming needs.
You can get all types of customization with these metal buildings; trim and flashing, lean-to-frames, clear-span frames, insulation, roof accessories, wall accessories.
2. Long lasting investment
In the past, barns and farm buildings were all built from wood, but even though they lasted a long time, Florida’s weather damaged them. This meant getting frequent repairs over the years, which can make wooden farm buildings an expensive investment. Metal farm buildings last longer than wooden ones, since metal is weather-resistant and can withstand severe weather conditions. It is also stronger and more resilient than wood, making it a good long-term investment.
3. Space to store feed & product
Metal storage sheds and farm buildings will keep your animal feed safe from wild animals, water damage and the elements. You don’t need to worry about storing hay and straw warm and safe with a metal shed, since it will be well-covered with no threat of water leakage inside the building.
4. Sheltered livestock
Farm animals can be safely sheltered indoors without worrying about frost bite during the winter months, ensuring that your livestock is in good health. Metal sheds also keep out predators that can easily get inside and hunt your livestock. You also decrease the chances of your livestock falling ill when they are stored in a metal shed. It can be easily insulated to keep your animals at a comfortable temperature, while you save money on heating and cooling costs.
