Common Agricultural Building Types
Equipment Storage & Farm Shops
Protect your tractors, combines, implements, and tools from the elements. Clear-span interiors mean no interior columns — drive equipment straight through. Add a concrete floor, workbench area, and overhead doors for a complete farm shop.
Hay & Feed Storage
Keep hay dry and reduce waste. Open-sided or fully enclosed options. A 40x60 building stores approximately 300 round bales. Ventilation options prevent moisture buildup and mold.
Livestock Shelters & Barns
From cattle barns to dairy facilities to hog confinement buildings. Red Iron frames handle wide clear-spans for easy livestock movement, feeding, and equipment access. Add lean-to extensions for additional covered area.
Horse Arenas & Riding Facilities
Indoor riding arenas in sizes from 60x120 to 100x200 and larger. No interior columns to obstruct riding. Add skylights for natural light, ventilation systems for air quality, and large sliding doors for access. Red Iron is the only structural system that can economically clear-span 100+ feet.
Commodity & Grain Storage
Flat storage buildings for grain, seed, fertilizer, and other bulk commodities. Engineered for wall loads and proper ventilation. Available with drive-through configurations for loading and unloading.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does an agricultural metal building cost?
Contact us for current pricing — we provide free, no-obligation quotes. Pricing varies based on size, eave height, features, and current material costs. Concrete, erection, and interior finishing are additional.
What size metal building do I need for a farm?
The right size depends on what you're storing or housing. For a small equipment barn (2-3 tractors), a 40x60 works well. For a full farm shop with equipment storage, a 50x80 or 60x100 gives you room to work and store. For hay storage, plan about 200 square feet per 100 round bales. For livestock, plan 20-30 square feet per head of cattle.
Are metal buildings good for agriculture?
Metal buildings are the standard for agricultural use. Red Iron steel frames are stronger than wood, resistant to termites and rot, require minimal maintenance, and last 50+ years. They can be designed with large clear-span interiors (no interior columns) which is ideal for equipment access and livestock movement. They're also faster to erect than traditional construction.
Can I get a metal building for a horse arena?
Yes. Metal buildings are ideal for indoor riding arenas. Common sizes are 60x120, 80x120, or 100x200 depending on your needs. Red Iron frames can clear-span up to 200+ feet wide with no interior columns, giving you an unobstructed riding area. We can include features like skylights for natural lighting, large sliding doors for equipment access, and proper ventilation.
Does Missouri Metal Buildings ship nationwide?
Yes. Missouri Metal Buildings ships Red Iron steel building kits nationwide. We manufacture in the Midwest and deliver to your job site anywhere in the continental United States. We also have a dealer network across multiple states if you prefer to work with a local representative.
