Why Prefabricated Steel Buildings Are The Right Choice For Your Farm
There’s more to this metal building than meets the eye. The controlled environment was constructed for Sunny Valley fruit in Keremos, B.C. with custom rooms to meet food standards.
Running an agricultural business means being hyper-selective about where you invest your money—that includes the buildings you choose for your operations. When it comes to buildings, a red wood barn might seem quaint, but in reality, a prefabricated steel building is the right choice for your farm.
Here are just some of the benefits of choosing a steel building for your farm:
- Steel barns are insulated and protect from the elements
- Steel is durable and long-lasting
- Low maintenance
- Highly customizable
- Quick to assemble
- Cost-effective
Showcasing the versatility of steel buildings for your farming operation
Farming can touch on a lot of things in the world of agriculture—from fruit to dairy, vineyards to orchards—steel buildings are versatile enough to have their place in every operation.
1. Production and processing
Looking for a large, adaptable space for production and processing at your orchard? MSC recently played a key role in erecting this 84,000-square-foot steel building for Farming Karma Fruit Company in Kelowna, B.C. The family-run orchard operates an agri-tourism facility where they create Farming Karma Apple Soda. The building is one of the more unique projects MSC has had the pleasure of working on in Kelowna!
2. Large clearance facilities
The sheer size and versatility of steel buildings make them a great option for agricultural operations that need a lot of space and clearance for large machinery.
When AG-Vision Seed Wash was looking to build a new seed-cleaning facility, MSC stepped up to help build a 2,750 sq. ft. metal building that, while small in footprint, had the 55-foot interior clearance to accommodate the machinery.
3. Wineries
MSC can tackle ground-up projects in delicate environments, like when Stag’s Hollow winery was looking to build a custom-designed 6,000 sq. ft. pre-engineered steel building to accommodate offices, a wine shop, and more.
