Accu-Steel is an Iowa manufacturer running commercial hoop buildings since 1995. The frames are heavy, the splice design is clean, and they sell relocatable and wheel-mounted models that most competitors don't. We install every Accu-Steel product line — new, dealer-sourced, secondhand, or relocation — at the flat-rate price on our homepage.
Accu-Steel — Commercial Hoop Buildings Since 1995
Accu-Steel (based in Templeton, Iowa) has been manufacturing fabric-covered hoop buildings since 1995. Their lineup skews commercial: feedlot cattle barns, dairy freestall barns, grain and commodity storage, equipment sheds, and a growing portable/relocatable product family. Frames are hot-dipped galvanised steel, covered in engineered PVC fabric with a useful-life expectation the manufacturer rates in decades rather than years.
Accu-Steel sells primarily through a dealer network (Hardywoods in Minnesota is one of the better-known Accu-Steel dealers serving the northern market, and they offer a DIY kit option). If you bought through any Accu-Steel dealer and don't have your own crew, we are it.
Which Accu-Steel models do you install?
All of them. The ones we see most often on the prairies:
- Commercial hoop storage — the bread-and-butter lineup, 40–100+ ft wide.
- Livestock and dairy barns — freestall designs with open sides, ventilation end walls, and feed-alley considerations.
- Grain and commodity storage — heavier frames rated for interior piling loads.
- Equipment sheds — common for equipment dealerships and contractor yards.
- Portable / wheel-mounted models — chassis-based structures that can be moved between sites without full disassembly.
What makes an Accu-Steel install different?
Heavier frames, fewer splice points, and cleaner engineering than most of the budget hoop brands. That means fewer pieces to align at 20 ft up and fewer hardware fumbles, but it also means the arches are heavy enough that you do not want to try this with a bobcat and hope. We bring proper rigging — manlifts, crane if needed — for the commercial sizes. None of that changes the price you pay us.
Can you move an Accu-Steel building to a new site?
Yes — and Accu-Steel's design is one of the better fabric-building brands for relocation. The splice points release cleanly, the fabric can usually be re-tensioned on the original frame at the new site, and the foundation hardware is straightforward to pull. If you bought an existing Accu-Steel building and need it on your pad instead of the seller's, send us photos of both sites. Flat-rate install pricing applies at the new location.
How long does an Accu-Steel install take?
Duration is confirmed for the exact kit and site. Frame configuration, access, weather, parts, and equipment affect the installation schedule.
Base installation covers crew assembly of the frame, cover installation and tensioning, and anchoring to the agreed prepared base. Equipment rentals, travel, and lodging are assessed separately after discussing your project. The kit, site preparation, foundations, and permits are separate.
Same pricing applies regardless of brand. Find your size, that's your price.
Send the brand, dimensions, nearest town, and preferred timing. We will review the scope, separate expenses, and scheduling with you before confirming a booking.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does Max Contractors install Accu-Steel hoop buildings?
Yes. We install every Accu-Steel product line — commercial hoop storage, livestock and dairy barns, grain storage, equipment sheds, and the portable/relocatable models. Accu-Steel has been manufacturing since 1995 out of Iowa and their buildings show up regularly on feedlots, equipment dealers, and construction yards across the prairies.
How much does professional installation cost for an Accu-Steel building?
Base installation covers crew assembly of the frame, cover installation and tensioning, and anchoring to the agreed prepared base. Equipment rentals, travel, and lodging are assessed separately after discussing your project. The kit, site preparation, foundations, and permits are separate.
Do you install the portable / wheel-mounted Accu-Steel structures?
Yes. The wheel-mounted (chassis) models are a different kind of assembly than a foundation-anchored building — the frame attaches to a trailer-style base rather than a gravel pad or concrete. We handle both. If you need the structure towable between sites, confirm the chassis spec before you call so we can bring the right rigging.
Can you relocate an existing Accu-Steel building?
Yes. Relocation is a strong fit for Accu-Steel's design — the frames come apart cleanly at the splice points and the fabric can usually be re-tensioned onto the same frame at a new pad. We disassemble at the old site, haul (or you haul), then reassemble at the new location. Same flat-rate install pricing applies at the new site. Send us photos of the current structure and the proposed new pad before we quote the schedule.
What should I have ready before my Accu-Steel installation?
A level prepared pad (compacted gravel or concrete depending on model and permit), all frame sections and fabric unpacked and staged, and clear access for the crew and manlift. Accu-Steel ships in fewer crates than most hoop kits, but the arches are heavy — we bring the rigging. We do a parts check with you at the start so missing hardware gets flagged before the frame is half up.
Do you install Accu-Steel buildings bought through dealers or secondhand?
Yes. Accu-Steel sells through a dealer network — Hardywoods and others — and their frames also turn up on equipment auctions and dispersal sales. Install pricing stays the same regardless of where the kit came from. Send photos and rough dimensions and we will confirm what you have.
