Hay sheds allow storing hay supply in dry conditions by not having to contend with hay loss as a result of moisture and inclement weather conditions. They protect hay by maximizing weather protection and minimizing hay loss. Hay stored outside has been shown to lose 25-35% of total dry matter compared to only a 4-7% loss of hay stored inside.
In addition preventing losses, storage sheds are effective for protection against:
- High winds
- Lightning
- Fire
- Mold and mildew
- Termites
Hay sheds and hay storage buildings can be constructed in many different sizes and styles, including:
- Open gables,
- Structures with only posts and a roof system,
- Three sided hay storage.
