Farm life never stands still, and neither should your agricultural steel buildings. Clover Construction turns wide-open dreams into rugged, steel-framed reality. Working hand in hand with the Manufacturer—a nationwide leader in pre-engineered metal kits—we deliver barns, barndominiums, riding arenas, and every outbuilding in between. Because our family-run firm values white glove service, you gain a concierge partner from the first sketch to the final sweep out.
Why Farmers Choose Steel First
Traditional wood framing warps, rots, and feeds termites. Steel shrugs off those headaches. Consequently, maintenance drops and profits rise. Moreover, factory-cut beams bolt together quickly, so animals and equipment move in sooner.
Deep wall cavities welcome heavy insulation, keeping hay dry and tractors warm. Finally, clear span rafters erase interior posts, giving you unobstructed space to maneuver trailers or stage events.

Barndominiums: Live Where You Work
Imagine waking up steps from your tack room or fabrication bench. Barndominiums merge modern homes with massive shop bays under one roof. Because steel frames carry the load, interior walls can move anywhere. Open kitchens, soaring lofts, and covered porches feel effortless. Meanwhile, shop wings stay insulated yet separate, so sawdust never reaches clean laundry.
Classic Barns and Hay Storage
Dry hay matters. Moist bales invite mold and waste money. Steel roofing stops leaks, and vented ridges whisk away trapped humidity. Add a lean-to for round bale overflow or install overhead doors for quick skid steer access. Since steel resists fire better than dry timber, insurance premiums may even drop.
Horse Stables and Riding Arenas
Happy horses thrive in bright, airy quarters. Clear-span arenas stretch 80 feet or more without interior columns. That freedom lets riders circle, jump, or train… whatever the weather. Stall barns benefit, too—steel girts accept tongue and groove pine, so classic charm meets modern resilience. Rubber mats, wash bays, and climate zones integrate easily.
Outbuildings and Sheds
Every farm collects gear that needs a roof: seed drills, ATVs, and feed totes. A simple 20 by 30 kit solves clutter in a weekend. Later, bolt on a side wing or extend the roofline. You only pay for space when you need it.
RV Garages and Storage Buildings
Motorhomes and fifth wheels hate ultraviolet rays. Steel garages shield paint, seals, and slide-outs. Roll-up doors as tall as 16 feet welcome even Class A coaches. Likewise, seed dealers or co-ops choose steel warehouses for bulk storage. Racking systems anchor to purlins, supporting thousands of pounds with confidence.
Turnkey Process, Clover Style
“Plan well, build fast, finish right.”
- Site Walk Through – Steve or Camden will meet you at the location. They note slopes, setbacks, and prevailing winds.
- Scope and Budget Alignment – Together, we match your needs to kit sizes, accessories, and insulation packages.
- Kit Procurement – Orders go to the Manufacturer. Factory crews laser-cut beams and pre-punch bolt holes for speed.
- Permits and Pad Prep – Clover navigates county codes while grading crews set drainage and pour monolithic slabs.
- Erection and Sheathing – Frames stand in days, roof panels lock tight, and trim seals edges against pests.
- Interior Finish – From tack lockers to residential drywall, our trades deliver spotless detail.
- Final Walk and Warranty – We test doors, check fasteners, and hand over manuals, plus the Manufacturer’s 50-year structural guarantee.
Throughout the project, a single project manager keeps you updated—no unanswered emails, no surprise change orders.
Advantages Over Stick-Built Structures
- Speed: On-site framing drops from months to weeks.
- Strength: Galvanized steel resists 120 mph winds and heavy snow loads.
- Flexibility: Clear spans erase poles, granting layout freedom.
- Longevity: No rot, termites, or shrink cracks means decades of service.
- Sustainability: Steel averages 30 percent recycled content and is 100 percent recyclable at end of life.
Traditional lumber can’t match this combination of performance and predictability.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will my animals overheat inside metal walls?
Insulated panels and vented cupolas regulate temperatures effectively. Fans and ridge vents maintain fresh air.
Can I add stone or wood siding?
Certainly, steel framing accepts almost any exterior cladding for a rustic or contemporary look.
Do I need heavy equipment to erect small sheds?
Not always. Many under-30-foot kits assemble with ladders, a skid steer, and two strong friends. We can also erect it for you.
What about condensation?
We install vapor barriers and proper insulation packages, preventing moisture from dripping on feed or tack.
Design Ideas Worth Considering
- Drive through hay barns – Dual sliding doors let semis unload in minutes.
- Lofted sheds – Gain 300 bonus square feet for seed storage without enlarging the footprint.
- Covered riding porches – Add a 14-foot lean-to for spectators or farrier work under shade.
- Hybrid Barndominiums – Combine a 40 × 60 living wing with a 30 × 40 fabrication bay for side hustle income.
Safety and Compliance
Clover Construction holds licenses across Maryland and neighboring states. We follow the International Building Code and local agricultural exemption rules. Engineers from the Manufacturer stamp plans for wind, snow, and seismic loads. Your new structure passes inspections the first time.
Sustainability Snapshot
Steel production today uses electric arc furnaces and recycled scrap, shrinking carbon output. Furthermore, insulated metal panels curb heating fuel use. Choosing steel aligns with conservation goals without sacrificing strength.
