Choose Accu-Steel livestock buildings

Our fabric buildings have a lot of benefits for livestock housing, but open space and air movement are particularly beneficial for livestock buildings.

Livestock performance suffers during periods of extreme heat or cold. Providing adequate shelter to compensate for these climatic conditions can improve animal performance and health. More on the performance of livestock shelters can be accessed at the NRCS.

By offering real air movement, flexible clear-span building space, and a more consistent environment, our fabric-covered livestock buildings help to reduce your overall cost — which goes straight to your bottom line.

ADVANTAGES TO FABRIC LIVESTOCK HOUSING

Healthy Environment

Ridge ventilation and dual eaves evacuate moisture without creating wind chill, keeping cattle cooler in the summer and dry all year round. Keep your herd clean and healthy thanks to our innovative design with more comfort and flexibility than traditional cattle barns.

Natural Light & Ventilation

Our cattle buildings maintain a consistent environment regardless of wind direction or outside elements. Our durable fabric is strong enough to withstand intense weather conditions while providing natural light and ventilation. Excellent airflow and quality reduce the stress on your animals.

Hot Dip Galvanizing

Steel trusses are hot-dip galvanized for maximum corrosion protection to ensure your cattle building is like new for years to come.

Enduro-Loc™ Fabric

Our fabric cover is made with Enduro-Loc™ technology, making it the most durable fabric cover available on the market today. We offer a 20-year warranty on our fabric and steel.

Clear Span Space

Large equipment can safely pass under the twin eave system, allowing for easy access to increase your productivity.

Multiple Foundation Options

We offer I-beams, precast concrete blocks, T-panels, L-panels, cast-in-place concrete, Jersey barriers, and more for your cattle barn foundation. Profiles for other options are available upon request.

Cost & ROI of Fabric Livestock Buildings

Investing in an Accu-Steel livestock building is not just about protecting your herd. It is about making a smart, long-term business decision. Our fabric-covered structures deliver faster construction timelines, lower material and labor costs, and long-term savings that continue to pay off year after year.

Accu-Steel buildings typically cost less per square foot than traditional wood or steel barns. The materials are lighter and more efficient to transport and install. Our clear-span designs reduce the need for internal support structures, giving you more usable space with less overhead.

Because our buildings are engineered with modular components and tensioned fabric systems, they are installed more quickly than conventional barns. This leads to reduced labor costs, fewer weather-related delays, and less disruption to your operation.

Fabric buildings are naturally corrosion-resistant and require less upkeep than wood or steel. Our hot-dip galvanized frames withstand decades of exposure. The UV-resistant fabric cover eliminates the need for regular painting, roof repairs, or replacements.

Improved ventilation, natural light, and consistent indoor conditions support healthier livestock. This directly impacts feed efficiency, weight gain, milk production, and overall herd performance. Healthier animals also mean fewer vet bills, lower mortality rates, and more reliable output.

Many Accu-Steel customers qualify for federal, state, or local funding support through programs such as the USDA Environmental Quality Incentives Program (EQIP). In some cases, depreciation schedules and Section 179 deductions can also provide significant tax benefits.

Thanks to the lower up-front cost, improved animal productivity, and reduced maintenance requirements, most operations see a strong return on investment within a short time. The building delivers real value in both long-term durability and daily operational efficiency.
