Central Iowa | I am pricing a 32 foot wide by 160 foot long cattle feeding barn made of red iron/rigid frame construction with a 1:12 roof slope. I would divide it for four pens of 25 head each or can flat fold gates and mix cattle together. It would have a 2 foot concrete wall around it and on top of that the barn with a 12 foot tall clearance( 14' total) built on 20 foot centers. GARVO and others use a lot of gable roof wood trusses but what is wrong with using all steel construction? Companies like AGI Sentinel, or General Steel or Clear Span, or Rigid Global Buildings can engineer it for snow load and wind load for my zip code and I can building it following their building plans. This barn would have gutters to catch the rain and a 2' overhang on three sides with a 4 foot overhang above the feed bunk. It is in a protected place on my farm by a wind break so I am leaning towards a canopy only. Let me know what you think?
