Metal Barns for Livestock, Hay & Equipment.
If you raise horses, run cattle, store hay, or just need a working barn that won't rot, sag, or burn, a Triton Industries metal barn is the long-term answer. We build horse barns, loafing sheds, run-in shelters, hay barns, and full raised-center-aisle barns from galvanized steel — sized to your herd, your equipment, and your land. Every barn is pre-engineered to your local wind, snow, and seismic load, ships with stamped drawings for permitting, and includes options for stalls, tack rooms, lean-to wings, sliding doors, dutch doors, ventilation, and gable cupolas. See real barn builds in the gallery below, then design yours to match exactly how you'll work in it day to day.
Barn Layouts That Match the Job
The right barn layout depends on what you're storing and how you'll use it day-to-day. Triton builds three primary configurations, all customizable.
- Standard Gable Barn — Single open span with a peaked roof. Best for hay storage, equipment, and open-stall livestock housing.
- Raised-Center-Aisle (Loafing) Barn — Tall center aisle with two lower lean-to wings. Provides natural ventilation, cross-breeze, and dry side bays for stalls or feed.
- Pole / Continuous-Truss Barn — Wide clear-span up to 100 ft for indoor riding arenas and large equipment storage.
Built for the Animals That Live in It
Livestock barns have requirements that ordinary metal buildings don't meet. Triton barns include condensation control (vapor barrier or insulation packages), ridge vents and gable vents for ammonia control, sliding stall doors, dutch doors, and Galvalume roof panels that don't get as hot in summer sun.
We can frame in stalls, tack rooms, feed storage, wash bays, and run-in shelters as part of the original build, or leave the interior open for you to finish later.
Hay & Equipment Storage Done Right
A wet hay loss is expensive. Triton hay barns are sized in 12-ft bays so round bales stack efficiently, with 14–16 ft eave heights so loaders and tractors can dump and stack without scraping the roof. Open-side and three-side designs maximize airflow to prevent mold while keeping rain out.
For equipment, we add 12–14 ft roll-up doors for combines, sprayers, and dump trailers, plus reinforced corners and impact-rated trim where machinery enters and exits.
Common Questions About Barns
Will a metal barn be too hot for animals?
Not when built correctly. Triton uses Galvalume roofing (which reflects ~70% of solar heat), ridge vents, and gable vents. We also offer reflective insulation packages designed for livestock shelters.
Can I add stalls and a tack room later?
Yes. Triton barns are designed with interior framing in mind. Stalls, dividers, and rooms can be added as a Phase 2 once the shell is up.
What's the largest clear-span barn you build?
Up to 100 ft wide using continuous-truss engineering — ideal for indoor arenas and large equipment storage.
