Store Your Supplies Safely
Calhoun custom-engineers fertilizer fabric structures specifically tailored to businesses who need storage for the unique properties of fertilizer. With experience building fertilizer fabric structures for businesses, we help you determine the right dimensions and style of structure for your needs. From dry granular products and blended fertilizers to seasonal inventory storage, our team works closely with you to determine the ideal building dimensions, storage capacity, material flow requirements, and operational layout for your facility.
Every structure is engineered for its specific location using advanced 3D Nonlinear Finite Element Analysis (FEA), ensuring reliable performance under local wind, snow, and environmental loading conditions. With clear-span widths up to 250 feet, operators can maximize storage capacity while maintaining unrestricted access for loaders, conveyors, blending systems, trucks, and material handling equipment.
Designed to support efficient receiving, storage, blending, and loadout operations, Calhoun fertilizer buildings help improve workflow, protect valuable inventory, and provide long-term durability in demanding agricultural and industrial environments.

Fertilizer storage requires protection from corrosion and moisture. Calhoun structures are engineered with hot dip galvanized steel to ensure long-term performance.
Why Calhoun
Hot dip galvanized steel frames are specifically designed to withstand highly corrosive fertilizer environments over time.
Enclosed, ventilated structures help prevent moisture intrusion that leads to clumping, caking, and product degradation.
Wide clear spans allow for high-volume storage and efficient loading, unloading, and blending operations.
Durable materials and engineered design ensure reliable performance in aggressive, high-use conditions.
Our highly trained engineers, designers, and detailers have spent years building the strongest and safest fabric structures available for the salt and sand industry.
Calhoun’s non-conductive fabric membranes allow for more air tightness to prevent leakage of waste fuels into the environment.
Maneuvering tipping trucks is critical in your industry. Our wide-span interiors have no columns, providing maximum clearance for trucks and other equipment to navigate the facility with ease.
With many configurations to choose from, we custom-engineer your salt dome building any way you like to accommodate bulk materials, overhead equipment, conveyors, catwalks, equipment storage, and shipping and receiving equipment.
Tell us about your project goals, building requirements, site location, and intended use. Whether you need bulk fertilizer storage, blending and processing facilities, or seasonal inventory expansion buildings, our team will help identify the right building solution for your operation and budget.
Once we understand your needs, we review key project details including building dimensions, access requirements, fabric options, doors, ventilation, insulation, and site conditions. We also evaluate local wind, snow, and environmental loads to ensure the structure is designed specifically for your location.
After project approval, our engineering team performs a comprehensive site-specific review using advanced 3D Nonlinear Finite Element Analysis (FEA). Once engineering is complete, the steel framework is fabricated, hot-dip galvanized, and prepared for shipment alongside the fabric building system.
Calhoun offers installation services through experienced crews or can support your preferred contractor. Following installation, our team remains available for inspections, maintenance, repairs, fabric recovering, and relocation services to help maximize the lifespan of your investment.
