Outdoor Barn Hay Bale Storage and Steel Barn Benefits

Follow these tips on hay bale storage and see the benefits of an Elephant Barns’ outdoor barn in action.

• Hay should have less than 20% moisture while it’s stored. Otherwise, your hay bales are at a severe risk for fire to break out as a result of bacterial decomposition within the center of the hay pile.  An elephant outdoor barn will resist fire damage up to very high temperature and often will stand tall even after a hay fire, but it’s not a situation that you want to test, being both hazardous for you and your business.  Proper hay storage, temperature monitoring, and treating hay with a preservative will ensure the safety of an outdoor barn, and keep your business profitable for the next season.
• An open faced hay storage barn must be designed with the opening of the outdoor barn strategically placed to avoid direct wind. Having a high roof and an opening allows for adequate airflow to let your hay bales expel moisture while still being protected from the elements. Elephant barns can be positioned in any way you want, and our expert barn team will be happy to provide advice on how and where to place your barn for optimum functionality. Our certified outdoor barns are wind rated up to 130mph, so you can be sure that whatever weather comes your way, from a little thunderstorm to a hurricane, a certified elephant barn will keep your hay, crops, and other farm equipment safe and dry.
