One of the most common uses of hoop buildings is for animal barns. Hoop barns provide just the right conditions for most livestock at a low cost. Fabric buildings protect your livestock and equipment while naturally improving ventilation and providing filtered light, making them a better environment for both animals and people.
Swine housing is possibly among the earliest uses of hoop barns in the United States. Iowa State University conducted extensive research and found that not only were membrane structures economical, but they were also highly efficient for raising deep-bedded hogs. There are still many independent producers raising swine in hoop barns, both large and small.
The sizing and design of a swine barn depend on many factors: the number of head at finish weight, the required water and feeder space, alleyways. and even the breed of pigs. We recommend consulting with your local county or university extension experts.

Our beef cattle and feedlot neighbors quickly caught on to the great deal that hoop structures are, and soon we were building many barns for them also. Even small producers could see a noticeable difference in the health and happiness of their herds.
