I can’t begin to explain the amount of time I put in researching Pole Barns in our area. When I say I have looked at them all, I mean them ALL. Three years ago I put in a 40×60 from another company and while it was a great kit at a great price, it’s the little things that make the final product from Southern a much better kit.

Hay Storage Barn FAQs

What is a hay storage barn?
A hay storage barn is a purpose-built pole barn structure designed to keep hay, straw, and forage protected from rain, moisture, sun, and ground contact. These buildings prevent mold, rot, and nutrient loss that occur when hay is stored outdoors or under tarps. Hay storage barns range from simple open-sided pole sheds to fully enclosed buildings with ventilation systems, and they can be sized to hold anything from a few dozen bales to thousands.
Yes, we build both fully enclosed and open-sided hay storage barns. Enclosed buildings offer maximum protection from rain and humidity and are ideal for high-value hay or areas with heavy rainfall. Open-sided designs provide excellent natural airflow to prevent moisture buildup and heat, while still protecting hay from direct rain and sun. We also build hybrid designs with enclosed storage on one side and open equipment access on the other.
Absolutely. Every hay storage barn we build is custom-designed to fit your specific volume, bale type, and operation. Whether you need a compact barn for a small horse farm or a large multi-bay facility for a commercial hay operation, we engineer the building to your exact specifications. We account for stacking height, loading access, ventilation, and future growth so your barn serves you well for years to come.
A dedicated hay storage barn dramatically reduces waste by keeping hay dry and mold-free. Hay stored outdoors or under tarps can lose 20 to 40 percent of its value to weather damage. A proper barn protects your investment, maintains nutritional quality, and ensures you always have clean, dry feed available for your animals. It also keeps your property organized, reduces fire risk from scattered hay, and adds significant value to your farm.
In most cases, yes. Proper site preparation is essential for a long-lasting hay storage barn. This typically includes clearing and leveling the build site, ensuring proper drainage away from the structure, and adding a gravel pad or compacted base to keep bales elevated off damp ground. Our team evaluates your property and advises you on exactly what site prep is needed before construction begins.
Build times vary depending on the size and complexity of your hay storage barn. A standard open-sided hay shed can be completed in just a few days, while larger enclosed facilities with concrete or gravel flooring and custom ventilation may take several weeks. After your consultation, we provide a clear timeline so you know exactly what to expect. We pride ourselves on efficient construction without cutting corners.
Extremely durable. Our hay storage barns are engineered to withstand the toughest conditions Central Florida can throw at them. We use pressure-treated posts, heavy-gauge steel framing, and commercial-grade metal roofing and siding rated for high winds and heavy rain. Every building is designed to meet or exceed local building codes, and our materials are chosen specifically for longevity in hot, humid climates. Your hay will be protected for decades.
