Clearspan Agricultural Application

Lazy Diamond Farm partnered with Global Steel Buildings Canada on the delivery of a pre-engineered steel building for a clearspan agricultural application.

Lazy Diamond Farms’ operations are focused on grain and oil seed production. Located in Blaine Lake and originally founded in 1905, seven years before the town of Blaine Lake was incorporated, Lazy Diamond is a productive family farm with national distribution.

In 2016 Gerald Dagenais was looking to upgrade his facility and partnered with Global Steel Buildings to design and deliver a high quality and durable pre-engineered steel building for his operation.

Low Cost and Easy Construction

Every dollar counts when it comes to investing in infrastructure in farming and pre-engineered steel offers savings from the outset with lower labour costs than traditional agricultural buildings.

Gerald worked closely with Jim Busch, the owner and founder of Global Steel Buildings and together they designed a clearspan building measuring 80 feet wide by 120 feet long. At 26 feet tall the building was designed to house a five ton crane system. The design provides excellent access for the farm’s heavy equipment. Steel is easy to maintain and offers built in fire and weather proofing, a bonus for Lazy Diamond Farms.
