Prefab Buildings, Sheds, Garages, and Barns Spanning New England

Like most states in the New England region, some of New Hampshire and Rhode Island’s commodities include hay and corn. The three states have approximately $16.2 million in value of production for hay and haylage. Haylage is forage that is baled at a higher moisture content than dry hay. It is then stored in sealed plastic wrap.

Choosing the proper storage method can maximize nutritional value and savings. SteelMaster metal Quonset Huts can help to preserve the quality of hay and haylage by keeping bales protected from the elements of weather. Our steel prefabricated barn kits are the perfect choice for storage for agricultural equipment and products.  With widths of up to 150 feet and unlimited lengths, a steel building can be used for all of your storage needs, from hay and haylage to tractors

Yes! SteelMaster’s Quonset Hut barn kits are specially designed for easy construction and hassle-free maintenance for the life of the building. Every building is prefabricated and pre-punched at our factory. Each building only requires the use of one size nut and one size bolt to construct. You don’t need an expensive contractor or construction crew; over eighty percent of customers assemble their own building, resulting in huge labor cost savings.

The first Quonset Hut was built at the Davisville Naval Construction Battalion Center at Quonset Point, Rhode Island. These pure steel, semi-circular Quonset Huts were originally used as barracks, latrines, offices, medical facilities and isolation wards during WWII.

The production of maple syrup is very popular in New England, but Vermont produces the most maple syrup in the United States, with more than half a million gallons each year. The total value of U.S. maple syrup production was $147 million in 2016. Turning maple sap into syrup requires a long process of boiling down the sap. This process is often done in what is known as a “sugar shack” or “sugar house.”

Yes, for several reasons. Because the Quonset hut’s arches are self-supporting, building owners can use 100 percent of the space on the inside for any machinery, products, and tools needed.

Additionally, each building is specifically engineered to endure the harshest weather conditions. The corrugated, commercial-grade steel combined with the amazing strength of the arch design help to make SteelMaster’s barns some of the strongest on earth. Our buildings have survived dangerous hurricanes, destructive tornadoes, hail storms, and even heavy snow loads after a brutal winter storm.

Aquaculture, the farming of aquatic organisms like fish and shellfish, has been present in Maine since the 1800s. Today, Maine’s fishing industry is mainly focused on salmon farming. Maine accounts for 18 percent of the U.S. domestic salmon market. Many SteelMaster customers in the aquaculture industry use their buildings as fish and shellfish hatcheries by the water. Additionally, the organic Galvalume Plus coating on our panels protects buildings assembled in harsh coastal environments.

Today, metal Quonset Hut garages are the most popular application for SteelMaster’s residential customers. SteelMaster’s prefabricated metal garage kits are designed with the average homeowner in mind. Most buildings don’t require an expensive construction crew or experience to assemble. We make the process super simple.

Our garage packages come with all of the pre-engineered materials you need to easily put together your own DIY garage. The kits are also engineered for your specific location. If you live in an area that has heavy snow, extreme winds, or dangerous ice storms, each SteelMaster garage kit is specially made to survive the climate conditions of any location.
