Do you want to save money by keeping your harvest and feed properly stored? For a quick and easy solution for your feed cover, nothing beats a large storage grain shed. Our durable designs make storage a breeze.

A grain shed might cost you more than a silo upfront, but if you choose the right features, the versatility, ease of use, and practically unlimited size could make it worth it. If you are considering a grain shed the key is to find a shed design that is structured to work for you and has all the features you’ll need.

Being able to load and unload your grain quickly and easily is commonly the top reason to choose a shed over a silo. You can get grain into the shed quickly with a tipper, and unload it just as fast with a loader and bucket. If you prefer, you can also include a built-in auger system, or use it with a portable auger, just like you would with a silo. Don’t forget that these sheds are a great place to store your machinery during the off-season.

Grain Shed Design Considerations

There are a few important things to consider when designing your grain shed:

  1. How much grain do you want to store?
    It’s important to ensure you will have enough bunker volume to store the maximum amount of grain you’ll need to store. 
  2. How are you going to load and unload the shed?
    You might consider including a built-in auger system, or using a portable auger. Or for fast loading prefer a shed configuration that will allow use of a tipper.
  3. Open fronted or enclosed and sealed?
    This will depend on how long you’re planning on storing the grain, your local conditions, and whether you need your storage to be vermin-proof.
  4. Bunker wall options:
    You can consider whether you need concrete, steel clad or canvas bunker walls. 
  5. Site location, access, levels and drainage.
  6. Floor Options
    Consider whether you need concrete floor or dirt floor with ground tarps to maintain grain quality.
