Frequently, we write to you with the unfortunate news that countless numbers of livestock have perished during a destructive barn fire. We often regret to replay these heart rendering acts, but feel it is out of necessity in stressing the importance of investing in a steel metal barn, as these structures are nearly impervious to flames. In abundance of caution, we also come equipped with the caveat about the superior durability of metal structures.
This week, however, we have some good news! Spoiler alert! Although we come bearing the same warning, the message’s setup is a little brighter. While an inferior building met its harsh demise due to shoddy building materials, the animals it was housing escaped a similar fate. In a miraculous series of events, 16,000 birds staved off the fury of whirling winds as the roof to the metal barn they were perched in was torn from the rafters.
According to accuweather.com, two barns in St. James, Minnesota was severely damaged on June 20 when an ominous windstorm narrowed in on an aging barn. These micro-blasts of cold air were so powerful that they peeled back the tin roof from the wooden rafters like a sardine can. We can only begin to fathom the level of force an intensity that billowed this flimsy structure.
Customize your Elephant Barn

While we would be remissed to cast blame upon the owners of the wood barn, we can’t but wonder what would’ve happened had they invested in a steel metal Elephant Barn. Our barns are customizable, as with just the click of a mouse, you can design a sturdy American made structure complete with the exact number of windows, doors and roofing style. You can event select from a color palette to personalize the new roost!
Pick the roof style that meets your needs!
With an Elephant Barn, you don’t have to settle for run-of-the-mill styling options. We know that each farm has different needs and a one-size-fits-all take on life seldomly meets your specialized needs. Our Country Style barn is the economical regular style option. Sporting horizontal patterns, the sheets lay front-to-back, as opposed to running vertically. A rounded appearance also accentuates the side walls. The ridgleline style is outfitted with horizontal paneling and is equipped with box eave style. Our most weatherproof option is, of course, the Valley Style. This design pulls out all the stops and features a solid a-frame style roof that’s flush from the top of the ridge cap at the center peak all the way down to the exterior lean-to side walls.
Triple Wide Bows
We take engineering the interior of our metal barns as we do the outside. A quality steel roof or superior paneling protection is nothing if the bones of the building aren’t up to snuff. At more than 24 inches in width, our triple wide brown bracing can withstand hurricane force winds and large snow loads. You won’t have to ever worry about excessive loads and untimely collapses with an Elephant Barn structure.
