Salt Sheds and Municipal Storage Buildings

For cities, counties, and industrial operations, salt sheds and municipal storage buildings are essential for maintaining safety and productivity during Iowa’s winter months. We build and maintain strong, weather-resistant structures that protect bulk materials like road salt, sand, and aggregate.

Salt shed construction features:

  • Reinforced framing designed for high load capacity

  • Corrosion-resistant materials and fasteners

  • Waterproof and UV-protected coverings

  • High-clearance doorways for truck access

  • Ventilation systems to reduce moisture buildup

Each salt shed is designed to handle heavy use, quick loading and unloading, and year-round weather exposure. We also provide fabric and canvas options for quick installation or post-frame and dome structures for permanent municipal storage facilities.

Benefits of our salt sheds:



  • Long-term durability with low maintenance

  • Efficient material protection from rain and snow

  • Customizable sizes for any fleet or supply volume

  • Easy access for trucks and loaders

  • Proven performance in harsh Iowa winters
