While the core principles of agriculture to cultivate crops and breed animals has remained largely unchanged for thousands of years, the technology and methods used to efficiently maximize crop yields and produce higher quality meats or furs has made substantial progress.

So too have the buildings and facilities used in these applications. The weathered wooden barns and short-lived sheds that dot the acres of farmland and ranches are quickly being replaced by durable, longer-lasting steel buildings.

Due to the services granted by steel, equipment and livestock are now safer than ever from fire and other environmental dangers. The solid steel-framed buildings themselves are protected from termite and insect infestation, and when purchasing from a steel building manufacturer like Renegade Steel you’re guaranteed a building that will stand the test of time far beyond that of any traditional wood-framed structure.

Further Benefits of Steel

Durability and longevity aren’t the only reasons steel has become an industry standard. While the industrial strength and rigidity of steel may give the pretense of steel structures being incapable of expansion or adaptability – in all actuality they’re quite accommodating and versatile.

Pre-Engineered Building Kits allow us to tailor-make a building for use in virtually any form of application. The strength of steel makes our structures capable of supporting wide-span beams for graciously spacious layouts, much greater than wooden beams. By design, steel buildings can be easily built upon for future expansion and their construction is consciously premeditated to be streamlined, labor-saving and as cost-effective as imaginable.

In addition to their versatility, steel buildings require less maintenance than wooden buildings and are far more resistant to environmental dangers.

The Bottom Line

When it comes down to the bottom line, the most common reason steel is used in agricultural buildings, and in pretty much every other type of industry, is the fact that it’s one of the cheapest ways to build available in the market today.

Pre-Engineered Steel Building Kits determine the optimal usage of materials, preventing any form of waste and making the assembly cohesive and systematically efficient. They’re fast to build, greatly lowering labor costs and the time spent waiting to capitalize on the new facility. Steel itself is a relatively cheap building material, which is why it’s used all throughout our daily lives in the largest buildings and smallest appliances alike.

The Breakdown

For a recap on why steel buildings or sheds should be your #1 choice when purchasing your next steel agricultural building, here’s the breakdown:

• Steel Buildings are long-lasting
• They can be used for virtually any facility
• They’re Low-Maintenance
• Fire and Termite Resistant
• Fast construction and assembly
• Cheaper and more reliable than other traditional buildings
• They’re built with future expansion in mind
• They are stronger and more durable than wood-framed buildings
