- Most don’t require heavy equipment or skilled labor
- Can be easily disassembled, moved and/or extended any time
Work directly with building engineers
Our team of knowledgeable engineers is able to customize our steel structures to fit any budget or timeline.
- Pre-engineered and meet any local salt storage building codes
- Includes P.E. state-stamped and approved blueprints
- Experienced building project managers assist every step of the way
Transload ready
Our salt and sand storage buildings are wide enough to accommodate transloading with trucks and bulldozers.
- 100% usable space — no beams, trusses or columns
- Standards widths go up to 60 feet, with other custom options available
- Unlimited lengths in 2-foot increments
Industrial strength steel
Our steel arches offer superior corrosion resistance to the elements and are engineered to meet your area’s snow and wind loads.
- Made with heavy duty, high-grade, cold-rolled commercial steel
- Coated with Energy Star-rated Galvalume Plus for protection
- Concrete wall foundations are secure with superior corrosion resistance
Salt Shed Configuration Options
Most of the salt buildings we sell are custom-designed to meet unique usage, environmental regulations, and code requirements. Depending on the building’s site, various configurations may be appropriate for your building. These include:
Foundation & Wall Height
Salt bin foundations are typically made of concrete “bin blocks,” which are stacked to custom heights and lengths. Base plates connect the cover to the concrete.
Endwall
The most popular endwall configuration is closed on one side and open on the other. Fully enclosed is also possible, with a variety of access options.
Ventilation
We offer optional passive ventilation for partially enclosed or large salt storage buildings, which increases air movement and reduces corrosion.
Steel vs. Fabric vs. Salt Domes
Quonset hut buildings have clear advantages over fabric salt storage or traditional salt domes.
Fast construction
SteelMaster prefabricated salt storage covers are often faster and simpler to construct than salt domes.
Durable
Our commercial-grade steel is minimum 22 gauge, and more durable that fabric or wood structures.
Expandable
Need more storage? Additional arches can add extra square footage and help adapt to seasonal needs.

Road Salt Use & Storage
Road salt, also known as rock salt, lowers the freezing point of water, which makes it difficult for water to freeze and create hazardous road conditions. Using salt to de-ice roads has reduced crashes by 88 percent and injuries by 85 percent so spending the time and money storing it for when it’s needed is well worth it for municipalities and DOTs across the country.
Sand & Frac Storage
Like salt, sand piles need to be covered in a way that eliminates runoff and prevents clumping. SteelMaster salt buildings can provide the same bulk material protection to sand piles and are the building of choice for many public works departments and departments of transportation.
Frac sand storage is another common use for salt buildings, used to keep the more expensive frac sand pure and ready to use for mining. This can eliminate the need for frac storage tanks or frac bins for sand storage and provide an ideal solution for frac sand transloading facility operations with plenty of room.
