Prefabricated Steel Hay Barn in New Roads, Louisiana
Metal Building Outlet delivered this pre-engineered steel hay barn to a repeat customer in New Roads, Louisiana, in January 2024. Engineered for the area’s unique climate characteristics and strong, sometimes hurricane-force winds, the barn is a durable, resilient addition to the local landscape.
Surfsand in color with Burnished Slate trim, the multi-span metal hay barn has interior columns at 65′ and 135′, providing ample support and stability. The addition of Burnished Slate gutters and downspouts enhances functionality and aesthetic appeal, allowing water to drain off easily, while two large overhead doors make it easy to move hay in and out of the barn.
The steel barn offers numerous benefits compared to barns made of wood or other materials, including superior durability and protection for hay stored inside. While it protects hay against moisture and spoilage, it also enhances hay quality, keeping it fresh and free from mold or decay. The metal hay barn is also easier to maintain than barns made of more traditional building materials, keeping lifelong maintenance costs low for the owner.
