Compost Buildings

Manage Manure with a Reliable, Cost-Effective Building!

Improve manure management, encourage high nutrient retention, and avoid the extremes of sun, wind and rain that can adversely affect the balance of manure piles by covering them with a ClearSpan Hercules Truss Arch.

Natural light, ventilation and a controlled composting environment create the ideal conditions for manure handling and decomposition. ClearSpan offers a healthy, fresh, clean structure — one that provides for the storage of manure and composted material so that spreading can be done agronomically, in environmentally appropriate ways, with less risk of run-off contamination and more odor control. ClearSpan compost storage buildings give you increased flexibility in the timing of manure use. Their exceptional height and clearance also allow for easy access and handling. There's plenty of room for skid steers, conveyors, pay loaders, turning machines, and more.

Designed in conformance with the International Building Code and ASTM-123, ClearSpan's Hercules Truss Arch Allied Gatorshield® structural steel frames are manufactured to stand up to a minimum of 90 mph winds. Engineered to withstand both balanced and unbalanced snow loads of a minimum of 40 lbs. per sq. ft.; these structures are available from 20' wide to 200' wide and any length desired. 12.5 oz. premium covers come with a 15-year warranty. Many options are available, including entry doors, steel roll-up doors and roll-up sides. Custom premium cover colors are also available. ClearSpan can provide custom graphic printing on your building — what a great way to advertise!

Our white fabric covers reduce the need for daytime artificial lighting. In addition, the translucent and reflective qualities of the cover provide indoor temperature stability — buildings stay cooler in the summer and warm in the winter. These benefits provide huge energy savings to you.

Rodents and other unwanted pests have no place to hide or nest in a corner-free ClearSpan structure which means you realize increased health benefits and savings in exterminations and repairs.

Low in cost per square foot, with little or no property taxes, minimal foundation requirements, and easy to maintain — ClearSpan buildings retain their value and can be relocated or expanded as your needs grow or change.
