Like a lot of other people, I dont have a seperate hay barn, and have very little room to store hay. We have a 3 stall shed row barn, and I do have one spare 8x12 stall that I could store hay in, but then again, Im so worried about a barn fire. I do plan to keep at least a few bales in my tack room.
We're not in a position to build another seperate wooden barn for hay at the moment, but hubby said we could get a small metal storage shed. Ive found a few cheap, ($200 for an 8x10) but Im worried that it wouldnt be suitable to store hay.
Can they be used to safely store hay? Where I live you buy your hay straight from the farmer, not the feed store, so I would like to have some hay put back for winter. The farmer with the GOOD hay thats cheaper per bale will not store it for you. If I want someone who will store it for you, you prepay, and they charge $5 per bale, versus the $2.75-$3.50 from other farmers, and I would be driving over an hour to get it each time.
