At MQS Structures, we can build a garage hobby shop in Pittsburgh custom designed to your needs or large agricultural buildings in Pittsburgh. Although every farm is at least a little different, most agricultural businesses need similar kinds of buildings. These are the five most common types of farm buildings in Pittsburgh.

#1 – Horse Barns

How many horses do you have? Custom-built horse barns can be designed to fit the needs of a family with one or two horses or a whole ranch full of different breeds. Some of the most popular options for horse barns include wash stalls, birthing stalls, tack rooms, bathrooms, Dutch doors, and oversized commercial fans.

#2 – Equipment Storage

No matter how big or small your farm is, your equipment has to be cared for if you want it to work when you need it. Do you have a small utility tractor or a big row crop tractor? Do you have harvesting equipment, shredders, or seeders? Keep them clean and dry inside a barn when they aren’t in use.

#3 – Hay Barns

Because of the fire risks associated with hay, it is often kept in separate barns designated for hay and nothing else. Hay barns are often simple structures with large doors, few windows, and good ventilation. No real farm is complete without one.

#4 – Run-in Shelters

Run-in shelters are another highly common structure for farms and ranches with livestock like horses, cattle, and sheep. They are simple structures that consist of not much more than a roof and 2 or 3 walls. Nonetheless, run-in shelters are critical for most farmers with large property.

#5 – Farmhouses

A farm couldn’t exist without the farmers and their families. At MQS Structures, we build more than pole barns. We also build post-frame homes that are ideal for rural settings. Speak to a barn builder in your area to learn more about post-frame homes, commonly called barndominiums. Post-frame homes are highly customizable and can be as simple or luxurious as you want.
