Our Buildings & Services
Custom Hoop Buildings Built to Work
We design, fabricate, and install custom hoop buildings for agriculture, equipment storage, hay, and livestock. All fabrication and installation is handled by our own crew to ensure quality and accountability from start to finish.
​
Our in-house fabrication focuses on 30’ and 35’ wide hoop buildings. Larger-span buildings are available through trusted manufacturing partners.

Three Generations of Experience
Fabricated and Installed by Our Crew
Built to Last
Founded over 30 years ago, our family business continues to build and install agricultural structures with the same hands-on approach today.
From fabrication to installation, the work is handled directly by our team — no middlemen or subcontracted installers.
Heavy-duty materials, proven designs, and construction methods built for long-term agricultural use — not light-duty or temporary structures.

Building Options & Configurations
Our hoop buildings are highly versatile and can be configured to meet a wide range of agricultural, storage, and operational needs. Each structure is tailored based on intended use, site conditions, and customer preferences, allowing flexibility in layout, enclosure level, and functionality. Pony wall options vary based on intended use and site conditions. Our standard installation includes 6×6 CCA-treated posts, with upgraded options available such as laminated 6×6 or 8×8 posts when additional height or structural support is needed. Buildings can also be mounted to bunker blocks or poured concrete walls where applicable. Final pony wall selection is determined during the quoting process to ensure proper fit and long-term performance.
Options may include various side coverings, end wall styles, door configurations, and interior layouts. Buildings can be left open for ventilation, partially enclosed for equipment or livestock use, or fully enclosed for weather protection and long-term storage.
The examples shown here represent common configurations and design possibilities. Final building design, materials, and features are determined during the quoting process to ensure the structure fits the customer’s specific application and long-term goals.
