For farms, steel buildings are a common means of adding floorspace for storage or garaging, or even for use as dairies or processing areas and are a common feature on many modern farms for the following reasons:

  • Steel buildings give a flexible space depending on your requirements - with or without walls, with or without insulation, electricity etc.
  • Buildings can be design in a variety of shapes including American barn style as well as more conventional box or dome styles.
  • Steel cladding panels are pre-prepared prior to installation and so are low-maintenance and come in a variety of colours to fit in with other outbuildings
  • The cost of a steel building is low compared to other forms of construction and coming almost as a flat-pack it is very quick to assemble and erect
  • In situations where windows are inappropriate, the building can be fitted with skylight roof panels to allow natural light in.
  • The structure allows for doors of different sizes to be placed anywhere
  • Steel buildings are an excellent option for mounting of solar PV panels
  • DIY construction is possible for those with a familiarity of the technical issues
