Steel vs Wood Shelters
Rolling Hill manufactures 100% steel shelters like no other company in the United States. Strong, Solid, Tough, Durable, Resilient and Heavy-Duty! To back this up I’m offering a 100% forty year warranty with no rust through or weld breaks under any condition with the steel frame. And the company we purchase our steel roof and siding from offers a 40 year limited color warranty. In order to do this I have certified welders and use superior USA steel, just like the steel bridges you see in rural US country sides. Rust will occur on the surface but there’s no rust through steel frame.
​
Our shelters are built to last with quality USA steel features like 6-gauge sliding skids, custom gates, hinges and latches built to last in position no matter how many times you move/slide your shelter for cleaning or relocation. Inside walls are welded with 1 ¼” steel pipe lined 3” center spacing giving longevity and safety for your livestock. Our prefabricated steel shelters are manufactured in the USA delivered completely assembled.
​
With so many rancher preferences, we can design, engineer, and manufacture the perfect cattle/horse shelter for your livestock needs. We offer quick turnaround, typically the quickest in the business! With wet, windy winter/spring days it’s important your livestock is able to get in from these type of conditions for their health reasons. In the summer months with temperatures reaching 90 to 100 degree the shelter provides great shade from heat stress. Click study here: Iowa State on Heat Stress

-
Steel studs are impervious to fire, termites, warps, rot, splitting, and any other number of hazards which can affect any kind of organic-based building material--namely, pine wood.
-
Steel shelter is twice the weight vs pine wood; important in high winds vs wood is lighter and will tear under high winds
-
Steel more durable - 11 and 14 ga New Carbon Steel studs and truss vs pine wood studs and truss!
What causes rotten wood? ….. it is actually fairly simple – lingering moisture in wood creates an environment conducive to fungi growth, which in turn causes the wood’s fibers to deteriorate.. So, when water contacts an unprotected wood surface for a long enough period of time the wood begins to rot. So wood runners/skids are always on the ground drawing moisture.
