Fabric Hay Storage Buildings: Protect Your Forage Quality

Fabric Hay Storage Buildings

Why Farmers Choose MegaDome®

  • Maintenance: Low (UV-protected, tensioned fabric)
  • Corrosion: Hot-Dip Galvanized after welding
  • Ventilation: Customizable mesh, chimneys, & side vents
  • Adaptability: Mount on concrete, blocks, or piers

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.
