There have been mind-boggling advancements in agriculture in the past 20 years alone. Autonomous tractors, automated harvesting, advanced weather capabilities, and drones are just a few. Many embrace this technology because it makes farming more effective, efficient, and profitable. But when it comes to adding or replacing a barn or other agricultural structure, many of us are stuck in the romantic era of the traditional wood farm building. At SteelCo, we want to encourage you to embrace the advancements available in agricultural buildings by learning more about our modern, sturdy, and attractive steel farm buildings.
There are many reasons you may be considering a new agricultural building. Perhaps a current structure has become too old, too expensive to maintain, or simply outlived its usefulness. Your needs may have changed or you added more expensive equipment to secure. It just may be time to move into the modern era.
Benefits of A Steel Building
If you are considering a new barn, hayshed, storage building or workshop, there are plenty of exceptional reasons to explore your options with a steel agricultural building over a traditional wood structure.
Steel Buildings Require Less Maintenance
Sure, a brand new, traditional wooden barn looks great. But in just a few short years, it will require painting and maintenance. In fact, you can plan on having it painted every few years after that. You have better things to do with your time and resources than painting and maintaining existing structures. A new steel building dramatically reduces maintenance. It never needs painting.
Steel Is Impervious To Rot and Insect Infestation
Wooden agricultural buildings are subject to rotting wood and insect infestation like termites. The wooden building materials are subject to wood rot. A steel building is impervious to termites, and steel does not rot. Galvanized steel will not rust.
Steel Buildings Cut Back On Construction Time
Using modern construction techniques, a steel building can be constructed more quickly and efficiently than a traditional wooden building.
Steel Is More Fire Resistant
A steel building is less prone to being destroyed by fire, especially when compared to traditional construction. This can be critical in the agricultural industry, where flammable materials are often already prevalent.
Steel Buildings Are Sustainable
Steel is recyclable and considered sustainable, especially when compared to other building materials like wood and wood products. Since it is custom prefabricated off-site, there is little to no waste. That is far different from the wood that is wasted when cut on-site.
Steel Buildings Are Energy Efficient
When crafted to your specifications, a SteelCo building can be extremely energy efficient. Have a workspace or office you wish was more highly insulated? We can do it. Have a larger storage area where insulation isn’t as critical? Your space can be designed to meet your needs.
