Agricultural Building in Micanopy, Florida

Sunward Steel Buildings, Inc., was proud to fabricate and supply this pre-engineered metal building on behalf of a client in Micanopy, Florida, in March of 2010.

These days, the durable, affordable steel building serves agricultural purposes on the grounds of the Micanopy Zoological Preserve, a private, 600-acre Central Florida farm and preserve that is home to a broad range of non-native and endangered animal species. Located between Ocala, Gainesville and Williston, Florida, the property features a custom, six-bedroom home, a 12-stall horse barn, an additional barn/maintenance building and a fenced perimeter with additional paddocks for animals.

Preserving & Protecting Rare & Endangered Animals 

Nowadays, the Micanopy Zoological Preserve is home to more than 20 different rare and endangered animal species, and this prefabricated steel agricultural building plays an important role in housing and providing for them. Great for housing livestock, storing feed and riding and grooming horses, among other common uses, steel farm buildings undergo easy customization to accommodate virtually any climate, and they are typically cheaper and faster to raise than conventional wood buildings.

A small, sparsely populated community set within Alachua County, the town of Micanopy covers just over one square mile. The community sits just south of Gainesville and roughly 27 miles north of Ocala.
