Paint the blocks with dry lock it works well

If you put a liner panel on the inside (on the trusses), it creates an airspace between the two covers and your moisture/condensation problem goes away. I've put up quite a few fabric buildings, great structures. Excellent resale value and easy to move.

Would this work for an indoor equestrian building? I really like how this let's in a great deal of light but would a second layer of fabric inhibit that? I need this "barn" to be warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer. How much temp difference have you seen in your time?

​@@KholouredI just put one up for an equestrian building. Your needs would be expensive in any building. Mine is the same brand as brians. It's 60 x 150. I put it where I had an existing outdoor arena. Bring this to 2023 costs and the building and setup alone are $53,000. You have to provide a footing for the building too. The best would be formed concrete. 4' in the ground and 5' above ground. You do the math. I'm not real sure about Brian's numbers. My end walls will be wood and metal like a pole building. We chose white but you might want the "clear" to allow sun in. We've been using it already without end walls and on a 90 degree day with a breeze it's very pleasant.

Great video and prayers for your mom! You’re a generous guy with a big heart

Thanks for sharing Brian. It's always great to hear the economics of agriculture.

Thanks Brain for all the great information, appreciate your time to fill us in on your barns. So sorry 😞 about your mother’s condition. Watched my grandma live with it for around 10 years, and loving grandpa take care of her the hole time she had it. My thoughts and prayers go out to your family sir. It’s so hard to watch someone you love slowly slip away. God Bless you guys. Thanks

Great video Brian. Sorry to hear about your mom. I watched my grandmother and my mother go through it and it wasn't fun. Tore my heart out when ever I went to visit them. I have a lot of great memories of them, as I'm sure you have with your mom. Take care and stay safe.

Thanks for sharing the numbers that help make decisions.

I've got to admire your timing! 😃 Good explanation.

So brian maybe a little idea, since your finding out everything you wish you wouldve done for a fertilizer barn, you should keep this one as your cold vehicle storage and close 1 end off and then build another fertilizer barn and build it the way you actually want to this time with it insulated for water protection and what not

You could use shade cloth to close the ends. It'll let the breeze through, mostly, but block out moisture, rain and hail if.

Great economics Brian. 👍🏼👍🏼. 15 years warranty in weather is terrific. More than I imagined. Dementia , thanks❤️ Brian. You guys rock.

Great video. Thanks for the honesty in the presentation of the numbers. Three sided structures are more susceptible to being blown apart/down. Capture more wind. Most steel carport companies offer three configurations. Just the top. Top and two sides. Fully enclosed. Your structure is just larger. Another viewers response as to Full Width roll up and down doors sounds like good advice and very simple. You may need some removable mid-span supports to withstand the wind pressures. Think chicken or turkey barn sides but bigger. They are fully supported by the structure against wind. Happy New Year

Thank you Brian for the information!!

Good move on the on-site storage. Surprised me on pay off on barn. Best wishes for your mom in the new year. Went through that with mom in law. We donated to alzheimer's foundation when she passed to cure this terrible disease. Happy new year to all.

Afternoon Brian Good to see your full disclosure

Give y'all a big happy New Year... Proud of y'all....

We took care of my mother in law for 4 years with dementia, it is an awful disease to live thru, God bless you and your family. Hope you have a great New Year.

Brian, a good explanation that you gave on cost for the barn and the cost of the fertilizer and the savings makes sense and your right on the availability issue in the future and rising costs as well as for equipment storage made for a good choice. As you said the hoop buildings are used for different situations livestock and hay etc. As for some of the issues on the negative you have time to learn about and implement a possible remedy.

Good savings Brian good to have something go your way. You all work very hard running the farm. Thanks for sharing

Brian , we use 3x4 by 8' straw or hay bales to close off the ends of our bigger buildings. Easy to place and remove at any time especially with a telehandler.

Hoop buildings are great storage for the price. We have a little 20 by 20 hoop barn for the horses. My Uncle is putting up an 32 by 80 hoop barn and we are putting up an 32 by 40 for equipment.

Morning, watched my grandmother lose to dementia and it was pretty sad! Watching an amazing outgoing woman all her life end up like that broke my heart. Bless you for doing that

nice job Brian,more than i ever knew about a hoop barn!

Thank you Brian. One of your best videos, did you site the barn to protect it from the prevailing winds or make it fit the site. All the best from the UK.

Morn-eve Very enlightening on reasons and costs Pro and cons

The ends of the building are called gable ends... Happy New year to you and your family. Thanks for your videos

Brian you should add an big gutters on the side walls, so the Rainwater coming down the Canvas is catched and guided away from the Walls and the concrete Pad/Foundations, add some Tile pipes and send it away to the field. The wet Stone Walls are prone to crack when its freezes, and dry walls /concrete should help your fertilizer and last a heck longer.

Really well explained Brian. Enjoyed the vlog. Thanks for posting. Happy 2022 to you and yours. 🇬🇧👍

Great video. Thanks for sharing financial details. Most aren't open to talking specifics.

GREAT PRESENTATION!!!

My wife’s grandfather has dementia and you are 100% correct, it is a terrible disease! It pains me to watch him slip further and further away. He’s to the point he doesn’t know who any of us are without asking who we are. I appreciate what you are doing with donating money to the dementia awareness foundation. I’m going to make sure I go buy a couple of tshirts to help support that effort. Have a Happy New Year Brown Family Farms!

On the Hoop Barn, Put vertical posts on all corners and stretcha cabble across 2 at each end. Buy a custom length tarp for curtains that can block the rains. When not needed, draw them back and fasten them out of the way. You're Welcome.... Cheap fix !!

I'm so sorry to hear about your mum. This is a very rough disease to watch a loved one go through. Prayers for all of you. Gob Bless.

very informative. I didnt realize AK enterprise distributed that far i live about 30 miles from Somerset. Neat to find things like that out in your videos. Hope you have a blessed and happy New Year!

you should be able to put roll up ends on them. you can do it yourself.just use the same concept as the tarp system that's on your grain trailers.

Very informative and I think you covered all the important stuff. Just a thought, if you baled up some cornstalks they could be stacked in the ends of the hoop barn to keep the weather out.

We have all of our fertilizer bought and on the farm as well. We ordered and took delivery on ours in June and we saved alot . We built a regular pole barn with separate compartments for each product . We store lime mez10 and potash . On farm grain and fertilizer storage is money well spent especially with today's supply chain issues. Those hoop barns are great the larger one could always be for equipment now that you have the second one . Great work!

Good video and congratulations on the savings.

I like our hoop barns as well. Actually use one as a shop on our farm attached to my existing shop. AK enterprise is where mine came from. Arlen Stoltzfus is the guy that owns AK enterprise. They are near me. Arlen himself came to put it up. Great guy, great building! 👍🏻👍🏻

God bless your family , I understand losing one that is still with us in body.

I know a guy who built a frame to install doors on his hoop barn, he keeps a duster in it. But he built double sliding doors and like the old barns he sank to poles out 20 feet on both sides he mounted the frame to so u can slide the doors completely out of the way. It works freaking great

Thanks Brian! Enjoyed the video!

Your biggest savings with the barn could be the fact that keeping your equipment under roof will allow it to stay cleaner, brighter, and limit repairs to belts, hoses, and bearings because of exposure to the elements. These savings are hard to put a definitive dollar figure on but they are significant in the long run. Hope your entire families have a healthy, prosperous New Year.

Brian, agree with the tarp building conclusion, I have two small single tarp buildings from Farmtek, one is 18 and one is 17 years old, the tarps are 15 year tarps and I can say they have held up through the years other than me putting my loader bucket through one accidentally and a few things falling against them, also learning that anchoring them down properly is a must, one has survived flying through my field after a bad storm, The sweating is the only issue with the clear roof in my one, the smaller one with the green solid covered roof doesn’t sweat and keeps the bugs and birds out compared to the clear roof one

Excellent video Thank you for doing it

Happy New Year!

Most interesting and informative video, thanks. I wonder if closing in the gable ends has aggravated the condensation issue by trapping warm moist air in the roof space and limited air flow through the building? I'm personally convinced that you have made the correct decisions to purchase and store the fertiliser you need for the next growing season for both financial and business security as shortages of goods, spares and materials is now a huge issue leading colossal gouging of customers right across the board of business. Happy new year to you, your family and everyone else involved with Browns Farms.

Awesome video! Thank you

Interesting video thanks 😊

If you ever want to spend the money on it seal those cinder blocks with some Drylock Masonry Waterproofer. Stuff has always worked great for me and mine. Used it to seal foundations, basements, sumps, pits, retaining walls etc. Easy to roll on with a big fluffy roller.

Yrs ago chicken farmers built the same type of buildings but out of wood and tin. They would store chicken chit in the manure sheds. They are very versatile storage buildings, heck I bet you could store alot of corn in yours if you ever needed too.

I had a hoop building built in 1995, cover lasted 26 years. I had both ends open all of the time except I filled 1 end to the roof with round bales right before a storm. High winds came from the north east (which it rarely does) and split the tarp right down the middle bc the wind had no where to go. Lesson for me was to never block one end unless you have a way for wind to get out. The tarp was still in excellent shape when it failed but there was a seam that ran right across the top that split open. My hoop buildings are now all built on poles so air can get out.

It also depends on what part of the country that you live in, they figure snow load, storm areas. It was a big difference in my area because we don’t get much snow! Hope everything goes well tomorrow for your live stream.

With driving rains and blowing snow I would look into the fabric roll up doors they just roll up like a roll tarp on your grain trailers

Mornin’. Happy New Year Brown family.

Great video Brian!

Plus no trucking during your busy season when you can get it on site now. Awesome numbers!

That is very impressive. When it comes to the concrete you could use some concrete sealer to help with the moisture. Granted you can't do anything at the moment, but can later possibly. When it comes to the future shop I had an idea that you could build the and in front of the big roll up doors could have a canopy over a concrete pad. To add a spot if you need a work space and need to be at least out of a rain or downpour. Hope yall had a great new year celebration.

Agreed, you could buy this at a hardware store or hire someone to come out and put up a moisture barrier on the outside to prevent water seepage

I think I want one. I have not bought any fertilizer yet, not sure what I'm going to do, it's outrageous 😳 good video as always.

Good info. If hay yield next season is like last, I'll need one. Tarps didn't work so well. Upside, plenty of cattle hay.

There’s a company out of Stratford Wisconsin that does those types of hoop barns and make some very large. I see several dairy operations using them also a large Polaris ATV dealer and snowmobile dealer near me that has two of them that they use for storage with cantilever racking‘s for product. I think they replace the canvas once after about 20 years.

Mornin', Brian. Whoopin' that hoopin'

Wishing you all a happy, healthy, prosperous New Year !

My heart breaks for you and your family having to deal with dementia. I haven’t had any first hand experience but have heard about it. I will be saying a prayer for you and your family

I agree I wouldn't be big on permanently sealing up one end of the hoop barn. Just an idea of the top of my noggin, if you have a local scaffolding company that does containment plastic, could probably get them to do up a temporary wall at one end. When spring comes an you wanna open her back up they just come take the wall down. From experience, it's what we do on the big aircraft carriers so they can be sandblasted and repainted does a hell of job keeping all that stuff in.

With your moister problem if you make a air gap between the roof and the floor, like 5" or more it will stop most of your moister problems. Also to enclose your building there are newer fabrics that are water proof but still allow air to move past them.

You could look into something like findoors for the one end, then you could have doors that don't take away too much of your opening and you can close up that end/ open it at will

There is a silicon spray for those canvases the same spray for tents

Sorry to hear about your mom's health! We just returned from visiting my mother in law who has alzhiemers.

Great video to review and explain. Where do you plan to do any of your winter time equipment repairs or upgrade type of things like you you did last winter in the lawn mower shop?

Brian, congrats o the smart business moves on the hoop barn! There is a hoop barn near me on a dairy farm that is 21600 sq. ft. I have never seen one bigger than that but I'm sure there is!

You can spray those block walls and the floor with sealer, no big deal, just an airless sprayer!

Nice review, the problems in our country are to get the permit to build one, its almost imposebal,anyways good luck whit the the livestream as you know its sleep time overhere in the netherlands and we have to go up early to milk the cows, thanks and greetings from a Dutch dairyfarmer

You can seal the blocks with a mix of roofing tar and mixing chopped fiberglass insulation in it. That actually makes the blocks MUCH more resistant to horizontal pressures versus just mortar. You really don't even need mortar if your blocks are well cast. Waterproof of course. Reasonably cheap, won't need replacing for a LONG time.

Good video, Happy New Year

Paint the blocks with Dry-Lock Extreme. That should stop the moisture issue. Put on 3 coats about a month apart so each coat dry's real good. The blocks will suck up the first 2 coats. Don't put it on to thick on the first 2 coats. The third coat you can lay it on a little thicker.

Have a happy NYE and all the best for 2022
