What is an agricultural building?
An agricultural building, often also referred to as an agricultural hall, is a functional structure designed to meet the specific requirements of agricultural businesses.
Depending on its intended use, there are different types of agricultural buildings: livestock buildings and stable systems are used for animal housing; machinery buildings and agricultural shelters protect vehicles and equipment from weather exposure; while agricultural storage buildings are designed for the proper storage of feed, hay, straw and agricultural produce such as fruit or vegetables.

Kit Buildings offers a wide range of agricultural buildings, including enclosed livestock shelters, open field shelters, round PVC storage buildings and agricultural vehicle shelters. All structures are designed for durability and to meet a broad range of agricultural requirements.
Kit Buildings offers a wide range of building designs, from open field shelters for hay or machinery to fully enclosed barns for livestock housing or grain storage. Agricultural buildings can also be configured for mixed use, for example with wide doors for tractor access, increased eaves height for larger machinery or clear spans for flexible interior layouts.
We supply open field shelters, enclosed steel barns and fabric-covered agricultural shelters in a wide range of sizes. Each type can be adapted for livestock housing, storage or combined use, making them suitable for farms of all sizes.
Steel components should be inspected regularly for signs of corrosion, and bolts should be checked and tightened as required. Gutters and roof areas should be kept clear of debris to prevent water build-up. For fabric-covered buildings, we recommend checking tension, seams and surfaces for wear or damage, and cleaning with mild soapy water to extend service life.
Agricultural shelters protect animals from wind, rain, snow and strong sunlight, helping to reduce stress and the risk of illness. They provide shade during summer, dry resting areas in winter and a safer, healthier environment overall.
A PVC-covered agricultural building is a steel-frame structure clad with heavy-duty PVC fabric. These agricultural halls offer large, column-free interior spaces, can be assembled quickly and typically involve lower upfront costs than fully steel-clad barns.
The terms are often used interchangeably. In general, agricultural sheds refer to smaller, versatile buildings, while agricultural shelters tend to describe larger structures designed specifically for livestock housing or machinery protection.
This depends on your farm’s specific requirements. Kit Buildings offers steel-framed agricultural buildings with either PVC fabric or steel cladding, available as open or fully enclosed structures. Open agricultural halls are well suited for machinery and hay storage, while enclosed barns provide all-weather protection for livestock and feed.
As a general guideline, allow approximately 1.5–2 m² per adult sheep, plus additional space for pens, feed storage and equipment. Kit Buildings can size or customise agricultural shelters to suit your flock and allow for future expansion.
Kit Buildings’ agricultural buildings are used for livestock housing, storage of machinery, grain, hay and equipment, as well as workshops and multi-purpose farm buildings.
Kit Buildings offers open field shelters, enclosed barns, PVC-covered halls, steel-clad agricultural buildings and insulated options. All agricultural halls feature galvanised steel frames for durability and long-term use.
All-steel agricultural buildings are highly durable, robust and low-maintenance, making them well suited for permanent, long-term use. PVC-covered agricultural halls can be assembled more quickly and are more cost-effective. Depending on usage and environmental conditions, the PVC cover may need replacing after around 15 years (with a 5-year warranty).
Temporary agricultural buildings are modular, lightweight structures that are bolted to a concrete slab or prepared base. They can be dismantled or relocated at a later stage, making them ideal for leased land, short-term requirements or seasonal use.
Start by defining the intended use, such as livestock housing, machinery storage, feed storage or a combination of functions. Kit Buildings’ agricultural shelters are available in various widths, lengths and heights, allowing you to select a suitable footprint now and expand later if required.
You can choose between PVC fabric cladding for faster installation and lower upfront costs, or steel or insulated cladding for a longer lifespan and permanent use. All kits are designed to be securely bolted to a concrete slab or prepared base.
You should also consider access requirements and local climate conditions. Large sliding or folding doors are recommended for agricultural machinery, while regional snow and wind loads should be taken into account during planning. Planning permission requirements should always be checked with your local authority. Kit Buildings provides technical drawings and expert support to help you select and configure the most suitable solution.
Yes. Kit Buildings can supply agricultural buildings in virtually any size to meet your exact requirements. Structures can be custom-configured whether you require a smaller building or a larger solution beyond our standard options.
Kit Buildings supplies prefabricated components together with detailed assembly instructions. Many customers assemble their agricultural buildings themselves using standard tools. For larger or more complex structures, professional installation services are available.
Kit Buildings’ systems are designed for straightforward installation. Each kit includes comprehensive assembly instructions, and expert support is available throughout the installation process if required.
Foundations are not always mandatory, but they can improve stability and long-term durability. Depending on the site conditions and the specific project, Kit Buildings can advise on suitable foundation or base options.
Prefabricated agricultural building kits are quicker to assemble, easier to budget for and offer consistent quality compared to buildings constructed entirely on site. Each Kit Buildings kit includes all essential components required for installation.
A level concrete slab or prepared base should be provided before installation. Always follow the supplied assembly manual, use appropriate lifting equipment and wear suitable personal protective equipment. The structure is anchored by bolting it securely to the concrete slab or foundations.
Planning permission requirements depend on your location, the size of the building and its intended use. We recommend checking with your local authority or contacting Kit Buildings for guidance specific to your site and project.
In the UK, planning permission requirements vary depending on the location of the site, the size and height of the building, and its intended agricultural use. Certain agricultural buildings may be permitted under permitted development rights (for example, on established agricultural units and within defined size limits). However, restrictions apply, and prior approval or full planning permission may still be required in some cases.
You should always consult your local planning authority before construction. Kit Buildings can provide technical drawings and structural data to support planning applications or prior approval submissions where required.
Steel agricultural buildings are robust, low-maintenance, fire-resistant and designed for long-term use. They are well suited to heavily used areas, heavy machinery storage and harsh weather conditions, and can typically be assembled more quickly than traditional buildings.
With regular inspection and maintenance, Kit Buildings’ steel agricultural buildings can last for several decades. PVC fabric covers typically have a service life of around 15 years and are supplied with a 5-year warranty.
The combination of galvanised steel frames with either steel cladding or durable PVC fabric provides high structural strength, low maintenance requirements and efficient installation. Steel cladding is recommended for permanent agricultural barns, while PVC fabric offers a flexible and cost-effective alternative.
Steel farm buildings are generally stronger, more durable and require less maintenance than timber buildings, which may warp, rot or degrade over time. Galvanised steel frames and durable cladding make steel buildings particularly suitable for demanding agricultural environments.
Steel frames can last for decades when maintained properly. PVC fabric covers typically last around 15 years, while steel or insulated cladding systems offer a significantly longer service life.
The lifespan of a prefabricated agricultural building depends on the materials used and the level of maintenance. Kit Buildings’ agricultural buildings are designed for long-term use:
- steel frame: all buildings feature galvanised steel frames with high corrosion resistance. With routine inspections and basic maintenance, steel frames can last for several decades
- PVC fabric cover: fabric-covered models use heavy-duty PVC with an expected service life of around 15 years and are supplied with a 5-year manufacturer’s warranty. The PVC cover can be replaced without altering the steel frame
- steel or insulated cladding: steel sheets or insulated sandwich panels typically last for decades with minimal maintenance and provide improved climate control and long-term protection
