Hay Shed Roof Blows off in One Windstorm

The phone rang the other day. A fellow out near White Lake had a problem—a big one. He’d just gotten a call from his neighbor. A windstorm had rolled through, and when the dust settled… his entire hay shed roof was laying upside down in the field. Not just a few sheets of tin—the whole roof. Gone.

He and his wife had built that hay shed together 30 years ago. Put a lot of care into it. It had held up all these years. But during the storm, the connection between the trusses and the beam gave way. And that was it. Roof gone, trusses wrecked, tin twisted. Everything totaled.

He called us to come take a look and figure out how to get a new roof back on. And while we’re going to get him fixed up, I thought—how many other folks are sitting on a time bomb and don’t even know it?

If you’ve got older buildings on your property, it’s worth taking a look before Mother Nature does it for you.

Don’t wait for the wind to test your roof.
