[QUOTE="NorthernIowa, post: 812702, member: 16163"] Hi all, Was looking for some input on building a hoop barn vs a monoslope building to house in the range of 250-400 head. I've gotten the sales pitch from both manufacturers and contractors, but naturally nobody builds BOTH hoops and mono's so the sales pitches are just competitive. I've done my fair share of research but am looking for people who have experience in both of these buildings and their preferences. From my angle, it seems much more cost efficient to build hoop over mono for <1,000 head. Also, you get 15-25 yr warranty on hoops compared to 0 yrs for steel. As far as frigid winters and hot summers, what keeps the climate inside most comfortable? The air quality also seems to be the biggest debate, what keeps bedding the driest and the steam off cattle the best? [/QUOTE]
