Did you know that between 2013-17, more than 2.7 million farm animals perished in barn fires? Another 1.6 million died in barn fires in 2021 alone! And most of those barns were made of wood. Obviously, no structure is completely impervious to the flames of fate, but steel has been proven as more resistant to fire and extreme weather events than wooden structures. Livestock are a commodity, but they still deserve protection and respect. Horse Barns from Metal Steel Structures can protect livestock from fire, theft, and extreme weather events. Unlike slotted wooden barns that have cracks and grain inconsistencies that allow cold air to penetrate stalls on cold winter nights, continuous steel sheeting creates a virtually-airtight envelope to keep critters warm and happy. Metal horse barns are also ideal for hay and feed storage. Many overstressed and underpaid farmers still rely on plastic tarps and covers for exposed hay bales. While this may seem cost effective, tarping can still trap moisture, which will certainly lead to problems with mold. Tarping doesn’t satisfy issues with sight security either. Add as many doors and windows to end pieces as you prefer to complement large garage doors or frames.
