Summer marks the beginning of forage preparation. Animal feed must be protected from the elements, and an Abristhor® field shelter provides the ideal shelter to preserve it through the winter in optimal condition.
It’s also the lead-up to harvest season—the well-earned reward after a year of hard work and planning. For farmers, regardless of the size of their land or crops, this period often represents a significant portion of their annual income. Having an agricultural building that ensures the crop is kept in excellent condition and safe from potential intruders is as essential as storing your savings in a safe: a solid space, tailored to your needs, and ready to move wherever business opportunities arise.
Abristhor® Agricultural Field Shelters: A Smart Investment for Your Farm
Abristhor®’s fabric buildings are a market-leading solution, offering a competitive edge to our clients no matter the size or location of their farm. For example, our flexible PVC fabric covers are proving invaluable during these hot months, helping to maintain a pleasant temperature inside the agricultural shelter—perfect for storing whatever our clients need to protect. Let your harvest rest in a space that works as hard as you do.
Machinery and Repairs, Protecting the Core of Your Agricultural Operation
Depending on the size and purpose of a farming operation, our clients may need to use machinery of various power levels and sizes—plows, seeders, harvesters, and more. The value and profitability of this equipment are critical to any agriculture-based business, and extending its lifespan provides greater financial flexibility. Take care of your machinery, and you’re taking care of your business.
Storing machinery in an agricultural warehouse protects it from harsh weather, helping maintain peak performance for years. It also creates a sheltered space for carrying out repairs and regular maintenance comfortably. The ability to install our agricultural fabric buildings on both hard and soft ground—or even on concrete bases—offers strategic versatility when choosing a location. What’s more, because our shelters are mobile and require no permanent foundations, they may be exempt from property tax (IBI). However, we recommend checking this with your local municipality for confirmation.

Maximizing Storage and Preserving Forage Quality
The generous volume offered by agricultural warehouses is essential for optimizing available space—both horizontally and vertically. Their height allows for stacking significantly more forage and bales than any other demountable agricultural shelter. Whether it’s straw, or cereals, the forage stays dry and well-ventilated thanks to the dual open fronts of the prefabricated shelter.
The versatility of Abristhor® agricultural buildings makes it easy to relocate them closer to the harvest area when needed. After drying, the shelter can be enclosed to prevent protein loss, preserving the nutritional value of the forage. This not only increases its market value but also ensures the material is ready for fast loading and unloading—especially in our larger models.

Wood Chips and Pellets: A Profitable Storage Opportunity
Another product that can generate profitability through proper storage is wood chips or pellets. These are small wood fragments not suitable for furniture making or sawing due to their size. But don’t be fooled by their dimensions—they hold significant market value and are in high demand in the fuel sector.
Storing pellets and wood chips in an agricultural warehouse offers an alternative income stream, especially during months when you have more available space. Thanks to the wide range of configuration options, it’s easy to stockpile wood chips in a covered yet well-ventilated area—maintaining moisture levels around 20%. This helps preserve their high calorific value and ensures strong market pricing.
MEGA – The Limitless Agricultural Warehouse Building
Large-scale farming operations will find their spatial needs fully met with the Abristhor® MEGA, our largest agricultural field shelter. Reaching up to 12 meters in height and 25 meters in width without internal columns, MEGA offers the perfect space for housing a grain storage silo or allowing trucks of various sizes to enter, load, and unload with ease and efficiency.
MEGA was designed as a high-capacity alternative for projects that require even more space than our most popular models—Oval 190, Oval 240, and Oval 358. These models already allow for a wide variety of heights and widths in prefabricated agricultural shelters, but MEGA takes it a step further.
No matter which agricultural building best suits your farm’s needs, all Abristhor® prefabricated structures come equipped with the same triple-layer PVC fabric. This high-durability fabric protects the interior from rain, wind, and the harshest winter conditions while maintaining a comfortable temperature in summer. And for added mobility, each square meter of the fabric weighs only 900 grams.
The framework holding it all together is made of galvanized steel, treated through an electrolysis process. This adds a layer of zinc, making the structure highly resistant to wear from moisture. And because the beams are bolted instead of welded, the warehouse is not only durable but also easy to disassemble and relocate.
Assembly, disassembly, and reassembly require no special tools or advanced training, making it technically accessible for anyone with basic experience. However, we recommend having our team handle the initial setup, so you can see a professional installation firsthand.
