Ontario farms have been the largest single market for fabric buildings for two decades. The reason is simple economics: fabric gives you twice the building per dollar, ships faster, and the bright daylit interior is healthier for livestock and easier on workers.
Hay and Forage Storage
Round bales stored outside can lose 15-25% dry matter per season to weather. Stored under fabric, losses drop below 5%. A 60×120 building stores roughly 400-500 round bales — payback on saved feed alone is typically 3-5 years.
Grain and Commodity Storage
Fabric buildings work well as flat storage for corn, soybeans, and small grains when paired with proper aeration. The breathable membrane reduces condensation issues that plague steel grain sheds.
Livestock Housing
Dairy, beef, and equestrian operators have moved decisively to fabric. The natural daylight reduces lighting costs to nearly zero and improves milk production, growth rates, and reproductive performance. Natural ridge ventilation handles ammonia and humidity without mechanical assist.
Equipment and Implement Storage
Modern tractors, combines, and sprayers represent $1-3M of capital. Storing them under fabric extends life, protects electronics, and meaningfully improves resale value. A 50×100 stores most mid-sized Ontario farm fleets.
