We Added 40 Years to the Life of This Hay Shed!

I’m excited to share a recent project we completed near Armstrong, B.C., where we turned a hay shed in dire need of repair into a structure that looks and functions like new—all while saving our client a significant amount of money.

Initially, our client reached out to us with plans to tear down his aging 50x80 hay shed and replace it with a smaller, new build. After taking a closer look, I saw an opportunity to save him both time and money by suggesting a different approach. Instead of tearing down the existing structure, I proposed a complete restoration, bringing the shed back to like-new condition.

Here’s what we did:

• Replaced all the rotten posts with a screw pile foundation and brand-new posts, ensuring a strong and secure base.

• Installed new roof metal to replace the deteriorated and loose metal that was on the verge of failure.

• Added gable metal to the ends and brought new metal down five feet along the sides for added durability.

• Integrated a shade cloth on one side for improved protection and ventilation.

The result? A hay shed that looks like brand new—and at a fraction of the cost. By choosing to restore instead of rebuild, our client saved over $80,000!

Here’s what it looked like before we started on it! What a difference!
