Insulated Steel Farm Building in Harleyville, South Carolina
Sunward Steel Buildings, Inc., fabricated and supplied this pre-engineered metal farm building for a client in Harleyville, South Carolina, in February 2020.
Insulated, customized throughout and engineered for the precise climate characteristics of the area, the spacious, clear-span metal building now serves as a farm shop. The steel farm building offers optimal structural integrity thanks to high-quality steel construction and gives the property owner a dry, secure place to house tractors, feed or other agricultural equipment or supplies.
An insulation package helps ensure comfortable interior temperatures and low energy bills year-round, and an attractive, Hunter Green exterior with Polar White architectural trim gives the farm building impressive curb appeal.
