[QUOTE="bigbluegrass, post: 813213, member: 15537"] I would think the hoop (just based on the shape) could take more wind than the monoslope building. I think there is just less for the wind to grab onto. For air quality, either would work if ventilated. If you don't have any openings, the formula would require you to figure the volume of air above the livestock breathing zone, which would depend on the actual size of each particular building. The larger the area, the longer it would take to saturate that air. A monoslope with a wider footprint and a steeper slope might give you just as much or more volume than a hoop. If you add in some openings up high you can change the formula and the volume won't be as critical. You can leave the doors open a little as well to keep some fresh air coming in. There are a lot of ways to make either one work. Not sure which way would be best. [/QUOTE]
