Customer Journey with the Silo Hills Farm in Belton, Missouri

“Our goal is to build out a working cattle farm.”
~Brent -General Contractor

The expansive, dark barn of Silo Hills Farm, featuring a gleaming silver metal roof and three cupolas, stands proudly on a grassy plot surrounded by trees under a clear blue sky.

Prep Work for Install

Step 1

Excavation and ‘grading’ the area in and around the area to ensure the building pad will end up being the same grade from each corner of the building.

The open field at Silo Hills Farm features a concrete foundation with scattered construction materials. A crane and an excavator stand ready, framed by trees under a clear blue sky.

Step 2

Concrete can be poured before the building installation. Typically, concrete will need to be poured at least 4 to 6 inches deep, depending on the level of support needed inside the structure.

Columns and Trusses

The Sky Genie® is the Terex Brand of telehandler for moving heavy materials with ease.

At the Silo Hills Farm construction site, workers assemble a metal structure. Two workers operate lifts, while others handle materials on the ground. Steel beams rise on a concrete foundation against a backdrop of trees and a clear sky.

Next Steps: Hanging wall girts along the outside of the columns and bracing the steel trusses to the top of the columns

Worldwide Steel Trusses are jointed to the columns with large bolts that can resist both vertical and horizontal movement.

The Building Installation

The owners decided to use wood as the material for their wall girts and roof purlins instead of metal, making it a steel hybrid building.

At Silo Hills Farm, a construction site buzzes with activity around a large wooden barn structure partially built. Workers and machinery are set against metal scaffolding supporting beams, while the clear sky and surrounding trees add to the picturesque scene.

Next Steps: Placement of cupola bases as well as the roof purlins across the trusses before placing the metal roof panels.

At the construction site of Silo Hills Farm, a large wooden building framework stands with a partially covered metal roof. Workers navigate the roof using machinery while nearby, a yellow forklift and flatbed truck await. Under a clear blue sky with scattered trees, sustainable agriculture visions take shape.

Custom Cupolas

A crane lifts a cupola onto the roof of a large barn at Silo Hills Farm. The barn features a dark exterior with a metallic roof, set against a clear blue sky. The interior framing is visible, showcasing the construction progress at this picturesque farm.

“The building is 40’ x 100’ with the wall height at 16’. We wanted a special custom style of cupolas that would light up at night to make a statement to our guests.”

Exterior Customization
