Pre-engineered buildings are becoming more and more common as time goes on. They can be built quickly, for less money, and last for a long time, making them good alternatives to traditional brick and mortar buildings. PEBs are very popular in the industrial sector, but they are also flexible structures that can be used in all sectors. In this blog post, we’ll talk about how reliable pre-engineered buildings are in the farming industry. Let’s take a look at some of the great things about steel farm buildings and why this is the best material for your next farm building.
Strength and Lasting Power
A metal barn can stand up to all kinds of weather. Steel is usually resistant to the effects of the sun, rain, wind, snow, and even earthquakes. However, steel structures are even more resistant when they have an optional layer of coating. Because steel lasts for a long time, steel buildings are a good choice if you want a building that will last for many years.
Because steel is hard to break through, it helps keep your farm safe. Keep expensive farming tools and important animals safe inside the steel farm building’s walls.
A lot of a farm’s property comes in the form of the expensive tools it needs to keep running. Tractors, ploughs, trailers, backhoes, farmers, and balers are all examples of this kind of equipment. Without these makers, it would be very hard to make it in the farming market. Putting these machines inside a steel building lowers the risk of theft and protects your heavy equipment from damage caused by the changing
weather throughout the year.
Customizability
Because every ranch is different, you need to be able to change your buildings to meet the needs of your business as it changes. Whether you need a well-ventilated building for livestock or a place to store goods and feed, a metal farm building is easy to customise from the start and also years later if the building needs to be expanded. And they can be made bigger. As your farming method gets better, so can your steel building.
Low maintenance and the best warranties in the business
Every hour you spend taking care of your building is an hour you can’t spend on your fields or animals. When you’re buying a steel building for farming or agriculture, it’s incredibly important to choose one that doesn’t need much maintenance.
A steel barn stays strong in all kinds of weather, even when the sun is shining and the snow is falling. Even though you might have to do some minor maintenance on a regular basis, steel is by far the easiest material to work with compared to wood (take into consideration rot, mold, and also various other types of damage that wooden structures experience in time). All EPACK structures also come with the best guarantees in the business, giving you even more peace of mind.
Environmental Sustainability
When building an agricultural steel building, sustainability is the most important thing to think about. Steel is the material of choice for contractors who care about the environment because it can be reused and recycled indefinitely. Steel buildings also have a number of environmental benefits when it comes to building: Faster construction means less noise in the neighbourhood, less trash on site, less pollution from heavy equipment, and a smaller footprint on the job site.
Going green not only makes you feel good, but it also makes your farming business stand out by showing that you care about social responsibility. If you want your ranch to make a great first impression, steel structures are a great choice.
Affordability
For smaller farm buildings, you can choose from our line of small building kits. For larger or custom farm buildings, we will work with you to create the best structure for your needs. No matter what size building you need, though, all of our steel parts are already made and cut, which keeps your structure cheap and easy to put together. The materials are made before they are shipped, which saves you money on both materials and labour because the steel is ready to build as soon as it gets to your job site.
After the farm building is built, there are other cost savings that can be enjoyed. For example, you can expect lower insurance costs and lower maintenance costs, which will save crores over the life of the building.
Pre-engineered buildings have been made and sold by EPACK for more than 20 years. We have our own factory, a trained team, and quality checks to make sure that what we make is the best it can be.
