Shelter Built for What You Raise

Walker Fencing constructs hay barns, equipment shelters, livestock structures, and barndominiums for agricultural operations in Greenville, Texas.

Running a ranch or farm in Greenville means you need covered space that protects hay from moisture, shields equipment from the elements, and provides shelter for livestock during extreme weather. Walker Fencing builds agricultural metal buildings sized and designed for the demands of your operation, from open-sided hay storage to fully enclosed shops and living quarters combined with working space.

We handle site preparation, concrete pads, steel erection, and interior finish work when the building includes living or conditioned space. Each structure is anchored to withstand wind, designed to shed rain and snow, and built tall enough to accommodate tractors, hay bales, or livestock. Metal buildings last longer than wood barns, require less maintenance, and can be expanded or modified as your operation grows.

If you need a new agricultural building on your property in Greenville, contact Walker Fencing to discuss your needs and schedule a site evaluation.

What Happens From Dirt to Finished Structure

We begin by assessing the site in Greenville for drainage, access, and grading. If the ground slopes or holds water, we adjust the pad to ensure runoff moves away from the building. Steel columns are set into concrete footings or anchored to a slab, then roof trusses and purlins are bolted into place. Wall panels and roofing are installed with fasteners designed to resist wind uplift and thermal expansion.

When the building is complete, you will notice that hay stays dry even after heavy rain, equipment is protected from sun and rust, and livestock have a shaded area that stays cooler in summer. Metal roofs reflect heat better than asphalt shingles, and open-sided designs allow airflow while keeping rain out. Fully enclosed buildings can be fitted with doors large enough for tractors and trailers to enter without tight clearances.

Barndominiums combine living quarters with shop or storage space under one roof, which is popular among landowners in Greenville who want to live on their property while maintaining easy access to tools, vehicles, and livestock areas. We coordinate plumbing, electrical, and HVAC rough-ins during construction so the finished space is move-in ready. The metal exterior requires no painting and resists damage from pests, moisture, and UV exposure.

Questions That Come Up When Planning a Ranch Building

Agricultural property owners in Greenville often want to know how to size a building for future growth, what features make the most sense for their operation, and how long construction takes when working around weather and planting schedules.

What size building do I need for round bales or square bales?
Round bales need more vertical clearance and can be stacked two high if ceiling height allows. Square bales stack tighter and can be stored deeper if you have the floor space. We help you calculate size based on how many bales you store at peak season.
Can you build a shelter that is open on one or more sides?
Yes, open-sided structures are common for hay storage and livestock loafing sheds. They provide cover and ventilation while keeping rain and sun off feed and animals. We design the roof pitch and overhang to prevent rain from blowing in.
How do you handle electrical and plumbing for a barndominium?
We coordinate with licensed electricians and plumbers to rough in wiring, outlets, and plumbing during the framing stage. Once the shell is complete, the interior finish work begins, including insulation, drywall, and fixtures.
What is the advantage of metal over wood for farm buildings?
Metal does not rot, warp, or attract termites, and it requires no painting or staining. It also withstands fire better than wood framing, which matters when storing hay or parking equipment with fuel tanks.
How long does it take to build a hay barn or equipment shelter?
Most agricultural buildings take three to six weeks depending on size and site conditions. Barndominiums take longer because of the interior finish work, but we provide a timeline during the planning stage so you can schedule around your operation.
