Farming in Spokane County isn’t just a profession—it’s a way of life. And whether you’re growing crops, raising livestock, or storing equipment, one thing is certain: your agricultural buildings need to be as hardworking as you are. At Stimson Contracting, we’ve spent decades designing and building custom agricultural buildings for Spokane-area farmers and ranchers who rely on strong, reliable structures to get the job done right.

We understand the climate, the terrain, and the unique needs of our region’s ag operations. From machine sheds to hay storage and livestock shelters, we offer fully customized farm building solutions that are built to last and tailored to your land and workflow.

1. Why Spokane Farmers Choose Post-Frame Buildings

Post-frame (or pole barn) construction is a natural fit for agricultural buildings:

  • Cost-effective to build

  • Fast construction timelines

  • Wide clear-span interiors for large equipment or livestock

  • Excellent for storage, flexibility, and durability

We use heavy-duty materials that stand up to Spokane’s snowy winters, gusty winds, and hot summers.


2. Machine Sheds and Equipment Storage

Your tractors, combines, sprayers, and implements represent major investments—and they need proper protection. We design machine sheds with:

  • High-clearance bays for tall equipment

  • Roll-up or sliding doors

  • Gravel or concrete floors

  • Optional lighting, insulation, and electrical service

These buildings help extend the life of your equipment and keep you ready for every season.


3. Hay Storage Solutions

Proper hay storage helps prevent spoilage, mold, and waste. We offer:

  • Open-sided or fully enclosed hay barns

  • Raised floors or drainage systems

  • Roof ventilation to reduce humidity

  • Flexible size options for square or round bales

Whether you're storing for cattle, horses, or resale, we’ll build a structure that keeps your hay dry and protected.


4. Livestock Barns and Shelters

We build structures for all types of livestock:

  • Cattle barns with feed alleys and loafing areas

  • Horse shelters or combination barns

  • Goat, sheep, and poultry barns

  • Covered calving pens or maternity areas

Each design is tailored to your herd size, fencing setup, and feeding routine.


5. Grain, Feed, and Commodity Storage

Efficient storage of feed and crops can make or break a season. Our buildings include:

  • Bulk feed storage areas

  • Commodity sheds for corn, silage, or grain

  • Enclosed bins or side-wall protection

  • Ventilation and spill-resistant flooring

We’ll help you choose the right layout to support your operation's throughput.


6. Workshops and Multi-Use Buildings

Modern farms need flexible spaces for:

  • On-site maintenance and repairs

  • Fabrication or welding shops

  • Office space for recordkeeping and meetings

  • Cold storage or chemical sheds

We build structures that grow with your operation—and give you the space to stay productive year-round.


7. Ventilation, Insulation, and Weather Protection

We know how Spokane’s weather can change fast. Our agricultural buildings are designed with:

  • Ridge vents and side-wall ventilation

  • Insulation options for climate-sensitive operations

  • Metal roofing and siding rated for snow load

  • Optional interior liners for easy cleaning

This helps keep your animals healthy, your feed safe, and your work comfortable.


8. Custom Doors, Clear Spans, and Access Points

Accessibility is everything on a working farm. We design buildings with:

  • Overhead doors, sliding doors, or bi-folds

  • Wide, clear interior bays for maneuverability

  • Covered loading areas and multiple entry points

  • Drive-through setups for feed or equipment access

Your layout will reflect how you actually use your space—not a one-size-fits-all template.


9. Permitting and Site Preparation in Spokane County

We’re experienced in working with local ag-zoning and permit processes. Our services include:

  • Site grading and drainage planning

  • Building permit coordination

  • Assistance with ag-exempt structures

  • Code-compliant electrical and utility hookups

We handle the logistics so you can focus on what you do best: running your farm.


10. Conclusion: Built to Support Your Farm, Season After Season
