I have been worrying about storing hay all winter. Saw a SteelMaster 40X40X18 tunnel "S" type building this morning that the owner says he will sell and relocate for $7,000. The building looks good with a few minor dings. It has no bells, whistles, ends, doors, etc. The company quotes $8,000 for a new one (uninstalled) but they want to send a salesman out to work with me on the order. Shipping costs could add to it too. I want to make a fair offer for the used building. Any thoughts on buying such would be appreciated.

Quite a few of those buildings around Michigan now. They seem to hold up well.

I have been doing some reading lately on hay storage and come across a couple things that are interesting..... .

One place said to remember that hay raots from the ground up - not the top down - and if u look at bales that is true .....

I have been reading about some 1.5 mil stretchy cling film or a different style of net wrap - use one of those and places your bales on pallets or orck or atleast a well drained area and you are set in a lot of climates

I might stir some people up here, but personally I would not buy that type of building. We got one at the Missouri state fair and gave a little over $5000 for it delivered to our door. We have been trying to find the time to put it up and to me it looks like more of a pain in the butt than its worth. I had a 40'x60'x12' fully enclosed pole barn built 2 years ago for $10,700 and I didn't lift a finger. I am going to build another one within the next year and I will build another building of this type but on a concrete foundation or on concrete piers. But this is just my opinion!

Luke,I had a 40x80x14 shed built with overhead door and One sliding door that went for $33,900 in May of last year. The contractor first threw me a figure of "around $28" then he priced the material and the steel and came back with his hat in his hand. Other bids were around the $30 mark, I was satisfied with his price, that's just the way costs go these days. You had what sounds like a good price for your building two years ago...it'll be double with your cement work at least...good luck with it...Mike in Exeter Ontario

I think the next one I do will be about a 40'x80'x14' with one short end open and have it set on piers. I am affraid the poles in the ground on my 40x60 will rot down the road because the dirt around these parts likes to hold water pretty bad. The poles are 5"x5" treated. I think the building like the last one I got is going for around $13000 now. We have some pretty competitve builders around here that come up from southern Missouri.
