The Wilton, CA residential property needed a dependable hay storage structure to complement its existing horse barn while providing a strong, functional space for agricultural use. The project required careful planning and quality materials to create a structure suited for long-term storage and outdoor conditions. Over approximately one week, the project progressed from the engineered foundation through steel erection and exterior installation, resulting in a durable hay barn that fits naturally with the property’s existing equestrian improvements.
