Agricultural buildings

A farm building is a long-term investment. Portex buildings give hardworking Canadian operations durable, low-maintenance space: conventional steel portal frames, custom engineered for your site and built for Canadian conditions, with the openings and heights your equipment needs. Every frame is fabricated in our own shop in Strathroy, Ontario.

Typical uses

  • Equipment storage
  • Shops and processing

Every Portex building is custom engineered, so if your project is not listed here, ask us about it.

Why Portex for agricultural buildings

  • Open space for equipment

    Large clear spans give you open floor space to move and store equipment.

  • Built for Canadian conditions

    Engineered for harsh Canadian weather, as a long-term building that stands strong for decades.

  • Durable and low-maintenance

    Conventional steel strength with low-maintenance durability.

  • Room to expand

    When the operation grows, a conventional steel frame is easier to modify or expand.

Planning an agricultural building

A quote starts with what the building has to do. Rough answers are fine; these are the details our estimating team will ask about.

The guide Planning your steel building lists the rest.

  • What the building will hold: equipment, storage, a shop or processing
  • The largest equipment that has to fit through the doors
  • Whether it will be heated, insulated or left cold
  • Where on the property it will sit, and access for delivery
  • Plans to add on later
