How do agricultural steel building kits typically compare with traditional wood pole barns in overall project cost and long-term upkeep for a working farm?

Quick Answer

You get a fully engineered, 100% steel structure with location-specific stamped plans, IAS-accredited manufacturers, installer support, and a 30-year panel and column warranty, so you spend less time and money on repairs compared to wood posts that can rot, warp, or attract insects.
