Built for Colorado Agriculture

Colorado's agricultural buildings face unique challenges from extreme weather variations, heavy snow accumulation, and intense UV exposure at elevation, requiring specialized construction approaches we've perfected.

Our engineered truss systems handle snow loads that can exceed 90 pounds per square foot in mountain areas, while our foundation designs accommodate both level valley properties and sloped mountain parcels. We incorporate strategic ventilation systems that manage moisture in humid summer conditions while retaining heat during harsh winters, creating optimal environments for livestock and stored materials.

Every agricultural building features heavy-duty components including reinforced door frames for high-traffic areas, treated lumber that resists moisture and pests, and 29-gauge metal roofing and siding that withstands hail impacts common in our region. These materials and methods ensure your investment serves your operation reliably for generations.

Local Agricultural Expertise

Understanding local agricultural patterns and requirements enables us to design buildings that truly serve Colorado farming and ranching operations throughout our diverse service area.

From hay storage needs in the valleys around Pueblo West to livestock shelter requirements in the higher elevations near Westcliffe, we tailor each building to local conditions. Our experience includes creating structures that handle the temperature extremes between Walsenburg's summer heat and Woodland Park's winter cold, ensuring year-round functionality regardless of location.

Your agricultural operation deserves buildings engineered for decades of reliable service in Colorado's demanding climate. At Altitude Builders, we combine agricultural understanding with construction expertise, delivering structures that protect your investments and support your operation's success throughout Wetmore, Cañon City, Colorado Springs, and across south-central Colorado.
