Farm Feed Room
Feed, minerals and medicine dry, vented and off the ground. Cattle, poultry and horse operations across south Mississippi that are tired of feed bags on a barn floor.
Illustration of the package set up. This is what it can become, not how it arrives.
How a package arrives — read this first
Nothing is installed. You get two deliveries: the container, a used box exactly as described on its product page, set on your ground by tilt-bed truck; and the kit, each part in its own box by parcel from the accessory supplier, usually within a week. You put it together — the lock box bolts through the door bars, brackets and hooks hang on the corrugation, lights mount with the hardware in the box; a vent is the one cut (an opening in the wall panel with a grinder or a metal-blade jigsaw, half an hour each). An afternoon with a drill and a step ladder. A package is a shopping list and a plan, priced as one, not a finished build.

Why a container for feed
Steel keeps rain, raccoons and rats out in a way a wood shed never will, and a container's floor sits above the mud. A 20ft holds roughly a pallet-and-a-half of bagged feed with shelving on one wall and room to walk; it is the right size to set next to the barn or at the far pasture gate where the truck stops.
Ventilation is the whole trick
A sealed steel box sweats when the temperature swings, and wet feed cakes. Two louvered vents, one low and one high on opposite walls, keep air moving without power; the screens keep the wasps out. That is why they are in the package and not optional.
Setting it
Pasture ground moves. The 6-ton jack and a few blocks let you level the box after the first wet month so the doors keep swinging true. The truck needs about 60 ft of straight run and firm ground at the drop — a gravel pad or a packed gate area, not fresh fill.
The plan set — free, by email
Seven letter-size sheets drawn to this box: floor plan, elevation and cross section from real ISO dimensions, the site and leveling sheet, the parts list (this package, line for line), what you buy locally with estimated costs, and the build order. Not an engineered drawing; see the plans page for what that means.
