Steel Barns
Steel Barns & Metal Barn Kits
A steel barn gives you a clear-span interior with no posts in the way, so you can park, feed and work without fighting around columns. Tower Steel Buildings supplies engineered metal barn kits designed for the snow and wind loads at your farm’s location.
Popular barn sizes range from a 40×80 steel barn for machinery and feed, to a 60×120 barn for combines and mixed use, up to an 80×150 barn for bulk storage and livestock. Width, length, eave height, doors and insulation can all be adjusted.
- ✓Equipment & machinery barns — clear-span space for tractors, combines and implements.
- ✓Hay & feed barns — dry, protected storage with large door openings.
- ✓Livestock barns — planned for ventilation, insulation and moisture control.
- ✓Shop & storage barns — combine a farm workshop with equipment storage.
How Farms Use Steel
What Can You Use a Steel Farm Building For?
At Tower Steel Buildings, we design and supply durable steel farm buildings that Canadian farmers can depend on — from barns and livestock shelters to grain storage and equipment sheds. Each building can be tailored with large doors, insulation, ventilation and windows.
For code requirements, see our agricultural steel building code guide.
01
Machinery & Equipment Storage
Clear-span steel buildings give tractors, combines and implements an open floor with no interior posts to work around.
02
Hay, Grain & Feed Storage
Keep hay, grain and feed dry and protected. Ventilation and insulation choices matter, because condensation is a common problem.
03
Livestock Barns
Barns for cattle, poultry and other livestock need the right ventilation, cladding protection and layout to manage moisture and ammonia.
04
Farm Workshops
A heated steel workshop lets you service equipment year-round. Many farms combine a workshop bay with equipment storage in one building.
Equipment Storage
Planning an Equipment Storage Building
Storing combines, sprayers and grain trailers takes more than a roof. Indoor storage also protects hydraulics and electronics from the freeze-thaw cycles that shorten their life. Three decisions shape how well the building works day to day.
Doors and access
Size overhead or sliding doors for your tallest machine, including headers and raised implements. Drive-through doors on opposite end walls avoid backing in, and wide door spacing cuts congestion at harvest. Steel portal frames with reinforced headers carry large openings without interior posts. Tell us the width and height of your largest machine and we’ll size the openings around it.
Foundations for heavy equipment
Combines and loaded tractors put concentrated wheel loads on the floor every time they turn or brake. The slab is engineered for those loads, your frost depth and your soil, with the right thickness, reinforcement and sub-base. Slabs that aren’t designed for this crack and rut, and those repairs are expensive. See slab-on-grade vs pier foundations.
Fire separation
Steel doesn’t burn, but fuel, lubricants, batteries and wiring do. Keep equipment storage separate from livestock housing and workshops, use fire-rated walls where the code requires them, store fuel apart, and leave clear emergency access. Good separation can also help with farm insurance.
Why Steel for Your Farm
Steel vs. Wood Farm Buildings
Traditional wooden barns and sheds often struggle with Canada’s harsh weather. Agricultural steel buildings are engineered for durability, pest resistance and low maintenance — protecting your equipment, feed and livestock over the long term.

| STEEL FARM BUILDING | TRADITIONAL WOOD BARN | |
|---|---|---|
| Snow & wind | ✓ Engineered for your project location | Varies with framing and construction |
| Rot & pests | ✓ Steel framing does not rot or attract pests | Wood can rot and attract pests over time |
| Interior space | ✓ Clear-span, no interior posts | Posts often needed for wider spans |
| Fire | ✓ Non-combustible steel frame | Combustible frame |
| Maintenance | ✓ Low maintenance over the long term | Regular repairs and upkeep |

Request a steel barn quote.
Are your farm buildings engineered for Canadian snow and wind loads?
Yes. Each building is engineered for the snow, wind and code requirements of the project location, with project-specific structural drawings.
Can a steel farm building be used for livestock?
Yes. Livestock buildings need the right ventilation, insulation and cladding protection to manage moisture and ammonia. Share how you plan to use the building so it can be designed for those conditions. Learn more about livestock buildings.
Do I need a building permit for a farm building?
Permit requirements depend on your province and municipality, and farm buildings may have their own rules. Structural and foundation drawings can support the permit process, but final requirements are project-specific. Read our Ontario permit guide.
What is included in a steel farm building kit?
The exact package is defined in your quotation. It typically covers the structural steel frame, secondary framing, wall and roof cladding, trims and fasteners, along with project drawings. Delivery, foundation and erection services can be added where available.
How do I get a price for my farm building?
Request a free quote with your building width, length, height, location, door sizes and intended use. The more detail you share, the more accurate your quote will be. Request a free farm building quote.
How long does a steel farm building last?
With normal maintenance, steel agricultural buildings commonly last several decades, and many stay in service for more than 40 years.
What floor slab do I need for farm equipment?
The slab is engineered for your heaviest machine's axle loads, turning traffic, frost depth and soil. Foundation drawings are coordinated with the building design so the slab and anchor bolts match. Learn about foundation design.
