Overview

Why homeowners choose IronWrap for agricultural metal roofing

Alberta's agricultural building stock — equipment shops, calving barns, machine sheds, hay storage, riding arenas, grain bin lid covers, and rural commercial facilities — runs on metal roofing. Open-prairie wind exposure, hail corridor risk, and the sheer cost of structural failure on a 60' clear-span shop roof mean asphalt isn't a real option. The question is which metal system, what gauge, and which installer can handle the 30,000–80,000 sq ft scale that farm projects routinely require.

IronWrap installs structural standing seam, 9-36 trapezoidal, R-panel, and architectural box-rib profiles across the Edmonton-region agricultural belt — Parkland County, Sturgeon County, Strathcona County, Leduc County, and the broader Central Alberta ag corridor. Substrates range from 24 ga residential-grade pre-finished steel for smaller outbuildings to 22 ga galvanized for full structural panels on pre-engineered buildings.

Our agricultural projects pair the roof with coordinated metal siding & cladding, custom flashings and trim, and seamless eavestrough where needed for water management around bin pads or feed yards. We work directly with property owners, ag contractors, and engineer-of-record on stamped shop drawings, wind-uplift calculations, and snow-load engineering for permit submission.

Included with every agricultural metal roofing install

  • Structural standing seam & 9-36 panel

    Engineered for prairie wind, hail, and 90+ psf snow load.

  • 22 ga galvanized for structural runs

    Long-span panels on pre-engineered shop buildings and clear-span barns.

  • Engineer-stamped shop drawings

    Wind-uplift, snow-load, and connection details supplied for AB permit.

  • Coordinated metal cladding

    Wall panels matched to the roof in profile, gauge, and colour.

  • COR-certified safety

    Required for most commercial AB ag projects; we're current and audited.

  • Edmonton-region ag specialist

    Routine projects in Parkland, Strathcona, Sturgeon, Leduc & Central AB counties.

Pricing

Agricultural Metal Roofing cost in Edmonton (2026)

Typical installed range

$5–$11 per sq ft, installed (typical structural metal roof on ag shop)

Agricultural metal roof cost is driven by structure type (clear-span vs purlin, span length, ceiling height), panel gauge (22 ga vs 24 ga), accessibility (drive-on roads vs muddy fields), and whether the project includes coordinated siding on the walls. The range covers typical ag shop and machine shed roofs across Central Alberta; larger riding arenas and clear-span commercial structures can sit above the range.

What drives your agricultural metal roofing cost

  • Building type (machine shed, dairy barn, riding arena, pre-engineered commercial)
  • Panel system (structural standing seam, 9-36, R-panel, box-rib architectural)
  • Panel gauge (22 ga, 24 ga, 26 ga)
  • Coordinated wall cladding (yes/no)
  • Stamped engineering and permit submission
  • Access and site conditions (mud, dust, distance from yard)

Important: Agricultural pricing always requires a project-specific quote with shop drawings and material take-offs. [Contact us](/contact) for an RFQ — we typically respond within 1–2 business days with a measured proposal.

Common Questions

Agricultural Metal Roofing FAQs

Quick answers to what homeowners ask before they sign on for agricultural metal roofing.

See all FAQs
What size of agricultural projects do you take on?+

From small acreage outbuildings (1,200–3,000 sq ft) up to full-scale pre-engineered ag commercial (30,000–80,000+ sq ft). We've completed equipment shops, calving barns, riding arenas, machine sheds, grain bin lid covers, and rural commercial buildings across Parkland, Sturgeon, Strathcona, and Leduc counties.

Can you supply stamped engineering for an Alberta agricultural permit?+

Yes. We coordinate with our supplier engineering teams to provide stamped shop drawings, wind-uplift calculations, and snow-load engineering as required for AB rural-county permit submission. We also work directly with engineer-of-record where the project already has structural engineering retained.

What's the cost per square foot for a typical Alberta shop roof?+

Roughly $5–$11 per sq ft installed for ag shop roofs in 22–24 ga steel — significantly less per sq ft than residential metal roofing because of the simpler geometry, longer panel runs, and crane-assisted material handling.

Do you do metal walls (siding) at the same time as the roof?+

Yes — and most ag clients prefer to. Coordinating wall panels with the roof on the same project usually saves 8–15% on the combined quote vs separate trips. See our [metal siding and cladding](/siding-cladding) service for the full residential and commercial cladding range.

Can you handle agricultural insurance hail claims?+

Yes — we work with major Canadian insurers on hail-damage claims for ag buildings (the same process as residential, scaled up). We can meet adjusters on site, document panel damage, and quote like-for-like replacement or metal upgrade options.

How long does an ag shop roof install take?+

Typical 6,000–10,000 sq ft shop roof installs in 5–10 working days depending on weather and site access. Larger pre-engineered building roofs (30,000+ sq ft) run 3–6 weeks. We schedule weather-dependent steps around the AB rainy windows to minimize exposure.
