Metal Buildings Built for Kentucky
Kentucky is horse country, and the Bluegrass region around Lexington is home to some of the most famous horse farms in the world. Steel horse barns with stalls, lean-tos and good ventilation are a natural fit.
Beyond the Bluegrass, Kentucky buildings serve cattle and hay farms, Appalachian homesteads, and suburbs around Louisville and Northern Kentucky. Omega rates each building for the loads at your address.
Storms, ice and humidity
Spring storms and tornadoes are the main wind concern. Winter ice storms can load up roofs quickly. Summer humidity makes ventilation essential, especially in horse and livestock barns.
