Hay, Feed & Fertilizer
Storage Buildings

Hay storage starts with keeping bales away from direct precipitation and ground moisture. The arrangement should leave space for loading equipment, preserve practical access to stored bales and avoid creating an awkward route to the oldest stock. Air movement and moisture management also matter, depending on bale condition and storage duration.

Feed products vary: bagged feed, bulk feed and packaged supplements may need different handling, pest control and environmental conditions. The building layout should account for pallet movement, stock rotation, clean storage areas and protection from contamination.

Building capacity depends on more than the number of bales, pallets or tonnes on hand. The storage arrangement, stack height, aisle space, loading method and equipment turning radius determine how much of the footprint can be used productively.

For bulk storage, confirm stockpile dimensions, equipment reach, truck access and any required floor or containment details. For baled or packaged supplies, allow room for stacks and movement equipment. When multiple products are stored, keep enough separation for safe handling and stock identification.

Stock rotation matters for all three categories, but for different reasons: hay and feed are used according to quality and age, while fertilizer inventory must follow product-specific handling and compatibility directions. Clear identification, orderly access and a floor plan that allows inspection help staff manage supplies and avoid moving one stockpile through another product’s storage area.

We can configure building dimensions and openings around the intended storage method and available site. Foundation, anchoring, drainage and local environmental requirements should be considered as part of the project.
