Agricultural
constructions
When modern agriculture requires resilient and durable buildings, wood often proves to be the ideal solution. Whether it’s machinery storage, barns, or riding arenas, wherever generous volumes, large spans, and careful design are needed, large wooden structures demonstrate their full potential.
By using eco-friendly materials, a high degree of prefabrication, and self-supporting structures, we create warehouses that perfectly meet the needs of your business: functional, cost-effective, and sustainable.
However, since every agricultural enterprise has its own requirements, we work together with you to develop the ideal solution: custom-made, expandable, and ready to face future challenges.
Overview of our Solutions
Advant-
ages of our solutions
From CAD design to construction and assembly: we offer turnkey solutions or building systems tailored to the specific needs of the client. Upon request, we can also handle administrative procedures, concrete work, and ancillary processing.
We use certified PEFC Austrian wood, primarily sourced from the Wechsel region in Styria. This ensures short supply chains and high quality.
Glued laminated timber combines lightness with high load-bearing capacity, making it ideal for creating self-supporting structures with spans of up to 50 meters. Additionally, it provides great design flexibility and a comfortable internal microclimate.
Our roof and wall systems meet the most stringent safety standards. Our constructions can achieve fire resistance up to class R90. Prefabrication that saves time.
Thanks to the high degree of prefabrication in the factory, assembly times on-site are significantly reduced, allowing for time savings, risk reduction, and ensuring an orderly construction process that is independent of weather conditions.
Full Service
Upon request, we will assist you from the very beginning of your project. Whether it’s a covered riding arena, a barn, a hay storage facility, or a machinery shed, we handle your project from the design phase to the application for permits with the relevant authorities, from production to assembly, and we also offer post-completion services such as annual inspections and maintenance, if desired.

FAQ´s
Rubner realises agricultural halls in timber construction, including machinery halls, storage halls, multi-purpose halls, stables, riding halls and commercial halls for agricultural businesses. Each hall solution is individually tailored to the use, operational processes, location and future extensions. The result is tailor-made timber halls that are functional, expandable and suitable for long-term use.
Large spans and self-supporting structures are possible for agricultural timber halls and machinery halls. Rubner uses glued laminated timber, which enables spans of up to 50 metres. This creates column-free floor plans for storage areas, machinery, vehicles, fodder stores or livestock areas. For agricultural businesses, this means greater flexibility in use, space planning and future adaptation of the hall.
Yes. Agricultural timber halls can meet current fire protection requirements when the structural system, roof and wall systems as well as connections are planned and verified accordingly. Rubner can realise constructions with a fire resistance of up to R90 depending on the project requirements. Fire protection concepts are developed in compliance with standards and tailored to the use, building size, storage conditions and agricultural operational processes.
Rubner’s agricultural timber halls are sustainable because wood is a renewable building material that stores CO₂ in the structure over the long term. Rubner uses Austrian timber from PEFC-certified forestry, including from the Wechsel region in Styria. Short transport routes, sustainable forestry and controlled material quality support a better ecological balance. At the same time, a durable hall structure is created that can be extended or adapted as required.
Rubner offers services in agricultural timber hall construction ranging from CAD planning through production and prefabrication to assembly. Depending on the project, permit processes, concrete work and additional trades can also be coordinated. Alternatively, individually tailored kit solutions are possible. The high degree of prefabrication in the factory shortens construction time on site and ensures plannable, weather-independent processes.
Timber halls and steel halls each have specific advantages. For agricultural businesses, a timber hall is particularly interesting when indoor climate, sustainability, expandability, fire protection and flexible use are the priority. Wood enables load-bearing, prefabricated and adaptable hall structures. Steel halls can also be appropriate depending on the use. The decisive factors are requirements regarding span, use, construction time, fire protection, costs and long-term expandability.
An agricultural hall in timber construction is a building for agricultural uses whose structural system, roof or wall elements consist wholly or partially of wood. It can be used as a machinery hall, storage hall, stable, riding hall or multi-purpose hall. Thanks to glued laminated timber, prefabrication and flexible hall structures, large spans, robust structural systems and functional floor plans can be realised.
Timber construction offers several advantages for agricultural halls: large spans, low self-weight, a pleasant indoor climate, short assembly times and a good sustainability balance. Through industrial prefabrication, construction processes can be better planned and assembly time on site reduced. For agricultural businesses, this results in functional, expandable and long-term hall solutions.
Timber halls are suitable for machinery, vehicles, fodder stores, harvested crops, livestock, equestrian use, storage areas and additional commercial uses on the agricultural holding. The decisive factors are requirements regarding span, interior height, ventilation, fire protection, structural system and future expandability. Rubner develops the hall solution on a project-specific basis according to use, location and operational processes.
Yes. Agricultural timber halls can be planned so that later extensions or adaptations are possible. This is particularly relevant when operational processes, storage requirements, machinery or livestock keeping change over time. Wood is easy to work with and can be extended using prefabricated components, provided that the structural system, connections and construction process are prepared accordingly.
Yes. Timber halls can be suitable for livestock keeping when indoor climate, ventilation, moisture protection, cleaning, fire protection and use are planned at an early stage. Wood creates a natural and pleasant atmosphere and can be used for stables, riding halls or livestock buildings with appropriate construction. Rubner tailors the hall solution to the requirements of the respective business.
Rubner supports agricultural timber halls from technical planning through production and prefabrication to assembly. The structural system, spans, roof and wall systems, fire protection, use and future expandability are coordinated on a project-specific basis. The result is hall solutions designed for agricultural operational processes, location, cost-effectiveness and long-term use.
