Why Choose Steel for your Farm Buildings

Is your farm operation in need of upgrading or expansion?  Global Steel Buildings Canada supplies high quality pre-engineered steel buildings.  Because it is versatile, steel is ideal for farm buildings.

Steel is a great choice for either an agricultural or livestock farming operation.  Unlike wood pole barns, steel is impermeable to mildew, rot and insect infestation.  Your crops or livestock will be protected.

Steel Vs Wood Pole

A pole barn is not considered a permanent structure. At best, they may last 15-20 years with expensive maintenance. A Global Steel Buildings Canada steel building will last decades longer than a pole barn.

Wood pole buildings manufactured with wooden frames will eventually warp over time. Our Steel building consists of rigid frame, plate steel and H beam construction. Since no wood is used in our building – no warping will occur.

Wood pole buildings can also become a fire hazard and become a target for termites and other insects – raising the costs of insurance.

Wood pole buildings are more expensive to insure.  With a steel farm building there’s no risk of fire or termites and insurance premiums will be less expensive than for wood pole barn kits.

Wood pole building manufacturers typically require a cord spanning across the truss width causing tremendous loss of space. This creates perch for birds – potentially damaging your machinery and equipment. Our buildings truss does not need a cord going across which means there is complete unobstructed space within. Birds cannot perch and defecate on the equipment and machinery inside the wood pole barn, which will save you tremendous costs on maintenance.
