Blueprint transitioning into a finished hay and feed storage shed

Hay & Feed Sheds

Practical Storage for Farm and Ranch Operations

Protecting Your Investment in Feed and Forage

Hay, grain, and livestock feed represent a significant investment for any farm or ranch operation. Exposure to moisture, wind-driven rain, pests, and temperature swings can ruin a season’s worth of stored feed — costing you both money and time. A purpose-built agricultural pole building from Sherman Buildings provides the protection your feed deserves.

Our hay and feed sheds are designed with the demands of working farms in mind. Whether you’re storing round bales, square bales, bagged feed, or bulk grain, we engineer a structure that keeps your inventory dry, accessible, and secure throughout the year.

For over 50 years, Sherman Buildings has been serving farmers and ranchers across Minnesota and the upper Midwest. We understand the pace of agricultural work and build structures that help your operation run efficiently season after season.

Designed for Safe Feed Management

The interior layout of a hay or feed shed matters just as much as the exterior shell. Sherman Buildings works with you to plan drive-through access, wide door openings for skid steers and tractors, and clear-span interiors free of interior posts that obstruct equipment movement.

Proper ventilation is critical in any feed storage structure. We incorporate ridge vents, eave overhangs, and optional sidewall ventilation panels to manage moisture and reduce condensation — the number-one cause of mold in stored hay and grain.

Optional concrete floors, floor drains, and interior concrete curbs keep loose feed contained and make cleanup simple. We can also add partition walls, overhead doors on the eave side, and sliding doors sized for large equipment — all configured to match your workflow.

Advantages of Metal Construction

Low Maintenance

Steel siding and roofing require minimal upkeep compared to wood. No painting, no rot, no warping.

Weather Resistant

Engineered to withstand Minnesota winters — heavy snow loads, high winds, and temperature extremes.

Pest Resistant

Metal construction eliminates the nesting and chewing that rodents inflict on wooden storage structures.

Fire Resistant

Steel walls and roof panels are non-combustible, providing better fire resistance for your stored feed.

Long Lifespan

With proper care, a Sherman pole building will serve your operation for decades — backed by a 30-year warranty.

Cost Effective

Post-frame construction is faster and more affordable to build than stick-built, saving you money upfront.

The Long Life of Steel Structures

Post-frame buildings are engineered for the long haul. Every Sherman hay and feed shed is designed to meet local building codes for snow load and wind rating — critical considerations in Minnesota where a heavy March snowfall can place tremendous stress on a roof structure. Our trusses are custom-engineered for each project’s span and load requirements.

We use pressure-treated laminated posts embedded in the ground or set on concrete piers, providing a foundation that resists settling, heave, and rot. The result is a structure that stays plumb and square decade after decade, even in Minnesota’s challenging freeze-thaw cycles.

All steel siding and roofing panels carry a 40-year paint finish warranty, and our buildings are backed by a 30-year structural warranty. When you build with Sherman, you’re building a structure your farm will rely on for generations.
