Metal Farm Building Pairs Modern Style With Heavy-Duty Storage in Maquoketa, Iowa
Metal Building Outlet sent the kit for this pre-engineered metal agricultural building to Maquoketa, Iowa, in mid-February 2025.
Modern, eye-catching and custom-designed to meet the owner’s needs, the 12,800-square-foot metal farm building has a wide clear span that allows for the storage of vehicles, tractors, lawn maintenance equipment and more. Polar White with a contrasting Black roof, trim package and wainscoting, the agricultural building draws the eye from the road and has a contemporary, professional appearance.
There are 2’ overhangs on all four sides offering protection for the outside walls and creating covered, outdoor storage space. Black gutters and downspouts line the roof, helping preserve structural integrity by channeling rain or snow away from the foundation.
On the inside, a liner panel covers the roof and walls, resulting in a clean, finished look as opposed to exposed framing. Spacious, versatile and easy to erect and maintain, prefabricated steel farm buildings are a smart, long-lasting construction solution that stand tall and hold their own in the face of heavy wear and tear.
