Farm Equipment Storage & Machine Sheds
The rolling farmland of southeast Iowa demands high-quality equipment storage. Modern combines, planters, and tillage equipment represent significant capital investment — and keeping them under roof extends equipment life and protects against Iowa's weather extremes. Clear-span Red Iron buildings from 40×60 to 80×200 give you the column-free interior you need for large equipment.
Livestock Facilities
Cattle and hog production are common throughout Wapello, Appanoose, and Davis counties. We engineer livestock buildings for proper ventilation, large sliding or overhead door access, and the structural demands of animal housing. Every livestock building is custom-designed for your operation and includes Iowa PE-stamped drawings.
Rural Commercial Buildings
Ottumwa serves as the regional commercial center for a large area of southeast Iowa. Ag service businesses, implement dealers, and rural retail operations find pre-engineered steel ideal for commercial facilities. Steel construction is faster and more cost-effective than masonry for buildings from 2,000 to 50,000 square feet.
Southeast Iowa Building Considerations
- Snow load: Southeast Iowa requires ~25 psf ground snow load engineering
- Wind zone: 115 mph basic wind speed — Iowa's open terrain increases wind exposure
- Iowa PE stamps: All structures require Iowa-licensed engineer-stamped drawings — included with every building
- Rural jurisdictions: County permit requirements vary widely — always verify with your local authority
- Proximity to Missouri: Our Pittsburg, MO location means shorter haul distances into southeast Iowa than many competitors
