Protect Your Hay
Calhoun designs and installs hay storage buildings that protect feed from moisture, temperature changes, and ongoing exposure to the elements. Proper hay storage directly affects feed quality and livestock performance. A purpose-built structure keeps hay dry, reduces the risk of mold or contamination, and supports consistent airflow throughout the storage area.
Calhoun hay storage buildings use hot-dip galvanized steel frames combined with durable fabric systems engineered for agricultural use. These materials withstand rain, snow, wind, and sun while supporting daily equipment movement and long-term farm operations. By creating a controlled storage environment, farms reduce hay loss, maintain nutritional value, and protect both feed and equipment from premature deterioration.
Hay storage needs vary by operation. Bale size, storage capacity, climate conditions, equipment access, and future growth all influence the right building configuration. Calhoun provides custom storage hay building solutions, including fabric structures, Cover All buildings, and temporary structures that support livestock, dairy, and mixed-use agricultural operations throughout the United States and Canada.
Options
Calhoun offers multiple hay storage building systems built to support varying storage volumes, equipment access needs, and farm operations. Each option delivers consistent protection and flexible layouts that fit how farms operate.
Fabric storage buildings give farms a flexible way to protect hay while maintaining airflow and efficient access. Calhoun designs fabric structures that support both round and square bale storage, provide natural light, and install efficiently on working farm sites. These buildings scale easily as storage needs change and adapt well to operations that require open space for equipment and mixed agricultural use.
Cover-all buildings, create wide, clear span storage areas using tensioned fabric over steel frames. Calhoun installs these structures for operations that move high volumes of hay and rely on frequent equipment access. Large openings and open interiors support faster loading, safer handling, and consistent daily use in demanding farm environments.
Temporary storage structures help farms respond to seasonal demand, harvest surges, or short-term capacity needs. Calhoun supplies and installs temporary options that provide dependable coverage without locking operations into permanent construction, giving farms flexibility as conditions change.
Why Calhoun
Covered storage limits exposure to rain, snow, and humidity, helping prevent mold, moisture damage, and nutrient loss.
Dry conditions and steady airflow help preserve nutritional value and palatability, supporting consistent livestock performance.
Clear span designs improve equipment access, speed up loading and stacking, and reduce handling obstacles.
Lower hay waste reduces replacement purchases and helps stabilize feed costs over time.
Maintains dry hay from rain, snow, and humidity, reducing clumping that can disrupt processing and delivery schedules.
Protects inventory from environmental exposure, preserving product quality and minimizing waste.
Our wide-span interiors have no columns, providing maximum clearance for hay and other equipment to navigate the structure with ease.
Exceeds winds 150 mph and snow loads 300 lbs psf. Protects critical equipment, materials, and maintenance areas from wind, snow, and extreme temperature swings.
Tell us about your project goals, building requirements, site location, and intended use. Whether you need hay or equipment storage, or livestock housing, 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.
