What’s Included
Keep your hay dry and organized with a storage building designed to fit your space, budget, and local building requirements. From small farms to larger operations, these structures provide reliable protection for bales and feed, helping maintain quality season after season.
Sales and use tax are not included in price. Buildings are designed using standard keyway foundation and SteelMaster does not provide installation services. All projects are sold as DIY.
*Exclusions apply; see warranty for details.
*Arches are priced in standard 22-gauge and may not meet your snow and/or wind load requirements. Buildings can be designed in thicker steel to meet higher wind and heavier snow loads. Consult with your building specialist for further details.
Your hay storage building can be designed to fit your needs. SteelMaster offers add-ons, or you can locally source these building options.
Choose between four models, depending on the look or engineering standards you want. When you work with SteelMaster, you get access to experienced building engineers who are certified in all 50 states to help you select the right Quonset model for you.

The amount of hay a building can hold depends on the size of the structure and how it’s stacked.
For example, in a 40’ wide Quonset layout designed for 5-foot round bales, you can typically fit multiple rows, such as 7 bales in the first row, 6 in the second, and 5 in the third.
This type of staggered stacking helps maximize space while maintaining stability. Total capacity will increase as you extend the length of the building. Your exact capacity will depend on bale size, stacking method, and overall building dimensions.
An efficient hay storage layout focuses on maximizing space while maintaining airflow and accessibility. Staggered row arrangements, like 7-6-5 bale configurations, help optimize width while keeping stacks stable.
It’s also important to leave space for loading and unloading, especially if you’re using large equipment.
Many customers choose open-ended designs to allow easy drive-through access. Planning your layout ahead of time helps ensure you get the most out of your available space.
Preventing moisture is key to protecting hay from mold and spoilage. Proper ventilation is one of the most important factors, helping to reduce condensation and allow airflow throughout the structure. Open-ended designs or, if the building is enclosed, added ventilation systems can improve air circulation and work to create a drier, more stable storage environment.
Yes, most hay storage buildings are open-ended for easy access. This allows equipment to move in and out efficiently during loading and unloading and helps improve airflow, which is important for reducing moisture.
Yes, Quonset-style buildings can accommodate both round and square bales. The open interior makes it easy to stack and organize different bale types.
Layout and spacing may vary depending on the size and shape of the bales.
Round bales often require more height and spacing, while square bales can be stacked tighter. The flexibility of the structure allows you to adjust based on your needs.
Quonset-style buildings are designed to perform well in a variety of weather conditions. The curved shape helps shed snow and reduce wind resistance. The steel arches provide durability against rain and long-term exposure to the elements. Each building is engineered based on local requirements for wind and snow loads. This makes them a reliable option for year-round outdoor use.
Yes, Quonset buildings can be extended in length to increase storage capacity. This allows you to start with a size that fits your current needs and expand later by adding extra arches to extend the structure. This flexibility is especially useful for growing operations.
Yes, this type of multipurpose use is common for farms and agricultural operations.
The clear-span interior allows you to designate separate areas for storage and machinery.
It’s important to plan your layout to maintain safe access and avoid overcrowding. Keeping equipment accessible can improve efficiency during daily use.
Hay storage buildings made from steel require minimal maintenance. The Galvalume Plus coated panels are designed to resist rust and weather damage. Routine inspections and basic cleaning are usually sufficient to keep the building in good condition. With proper care, maintenance remains simple over time.
Of course, Quonset huts are incredibly customizable.
You can choose the size, layout, and access points based on how you plan to use the space.
Options like endwalls, vents, and door placement can be adjusted for your agricultural operations.
The total cost includes both the building kit and additional project expenses. The building package typically covers the steel structure, engineered plans, and core components, with pricing influenced by size, location, and customization. Additional costs may include foundation work, site preparation, permits, and installation. Optional features like doors or ventilation can also impact the final price. The overall cost will depend on how you plan to use the building and the level of customization needed.
