Storage Capacity Calculation: Model XP-HD (60' x 216')
Let’s look at the math for a fabric hay storage building 60′ x 216′ MegaDome XP-HD.
- 12,960 sq.ft
- 27.5 ft of center clearance
- 15.3 ft of side clerance at 4′
Capacity Estimate - Round Bales
Bale Size: 5′ Diameter x 6′ Width (placed on ends or rolled).
Stacking Strategy: To ensure safety and airflow, we calculate stacking 4 bales high in the center and tapering to 2-3 high near the walls.
- Total capacity: 1152 round bales
Note: This calculation allows for a “buffer” space for ventilation and machinery maneuvering. If stacking Large Squares (3′ x 3′ x 8′), the capacity increases significantly due to the lack of “dead air” between rounded edges.
Capacity Estimate - Rectangle Bales
Bale Size: 3′ x 3′ x 8′
Large rectangle bales are the gold standard for commercial hay transport and export. Because they stack like bricks, they take full advantage of the MegaDome’s vertical clearance and flat-wall profiles.
Stacking Strategy: Stacking the 8′ length perpendicular to the length of the fabric hay storage building.
- Total capacity: 2646 large rectangles bales
Note: We assume a 12′ central driving aisle for the telehandler and 2′ of clearance from the fabric walls to ensure optimal airflow and prevent abrasion.
