Advantages of a livestock shelter with no interior poles.

• 100% usable interior space – The lack of interior poles or obstructions maximizes the available space inside the shelter for housing livestock.
• Flexible layout – Without poles in the way, the interior can be configured and customized to suit the specific needs of the livestock operation, such as stalls, pens, feeding areas, etc.
• Cost-effectiveness – The open design without interior supports makes these types of livestock shelters more cost-effective compared to traditional pole barns or other permanent structures.
• Ease of access – The unobstructed interior allows for easier movement and access for feeding, caring for, and managing the livestock.
• Improved animal welfare – The open design creates a more comfortable, stress-free environment for the animals by eliminating potential hazards or obstacles.

All stemming from the lack of interior support poles in the structural design.

Different livestock animals can benefit from a weatherproof, steel-framed shelter with 100% usable interior space:

Horses: Horses are particularly vulnerable to the harsh effects of sun, rain, wind, and cold temperatures when left exposed outdoors. Prolonged exposure can lead to a host of issues, from sunburn and heat stress to respiratory problems and hypothermia. Without proper shelter, horses are at risk of developing painful skin conditions like rain rot and scratches from standing in wet, muddy conditions. The cold and damp can also aggravate joint issues and arthritis, compromising a horse’s mobility and comfort. In extreme weather, horses may even suffer from frostbite on their ears, muzzle, and lower legs. Beyond the physical impacts, a lack of shelter can also cause significant stress and anxiety in horses. Horses are herd animals that instinctively seek protection, and being constantly exposed to the elements can lead to behavioral problems and reduced overall well-being.

Lambs: Young lambs are particularly vulnerable to the detrimental effects of sun exposure, precipitation, and extreme temperatures. Prolonged exposure can result in sunburn, hypothermia, and respiratory issues. A weatherproof livestock shelter protects lambs from these environmental stressors, creating a safe, secure environment for nursing and growth. The 100% usable interior space enables the creation of individual pens for ewes and their lambs or a communal area, depending on the producer’s needs.

Goats: Goats are susceptible to a variety of skin conditions and joint issues when exposed to harsh weather conditions for extended periods. The hot sun, driving rain, and biting cold can all take a toll, leading to problems like skin irritation, mud fever, and arthritis. A weatherproof shelter with a waterproof fabric roof provides goats with a dry, comfortable space to rest and seek refuge from the elements. The open, pole-free design allows for flexible pen configurations to accommodate the unique needs of a goat herd.

Alpacas: While alpacas are known for their thick, woolly coats, this can actually make them more susceptible to heat stress and skin problems when exposed to direct sunlight for extended periods. Additionally, the cold and damp can exacerbate joint pain and other health concerns. A weatherproof, steel-framed shelter with a waterproof fabric roof offers alpacas a dry, temperature-regulated space to rest and recover from inclement weather, supporting their overall health and well-being.

Cows: Cattle are hardy animals, but they are not immune to the detrimental effects of extreme weather conditions. Prolonged exposure to sun, rain, wind, and cold can lead to a host of health and productivity issues for beef and dairy cattle. Without adequate shelter, cattle are at risk of developing sunburns, heat stress, and respiratory problems from standing in muddy, wet conditions. The cold and damp can also exacerbate joint pain and arthritis, making it difficult for cattle to move around comfortably and access feed and water.

In severe weather, cattle may even suffer from frostbite on their extremities, leading to infection and other complications. This not only compromises the animals’ welfare but can also impact their growth, milk production, and overall productivity. Beyond the physical impacts, a lack of shelter can cause significant stress and anxiety in cattle. Cattle are herd animals that instinctively seek protection, and being constantly exposed to the elements can lead to behavioral problems and reduced overall well-being.

Protect the health, comfort, and overall well-being of their animals.

A waterproof, pole-free livestock shelter provides the perfect solution for cattle owners. The 100% usable interior space allows for flexible layouts to accommodate individual pens, feeding stations, and even calving areas. The weatherproof UV resistant, PVC fabric roof shields cattle from sun, rain, snow, and wind, keeping them dry, comfortable, and relaxed. With no interior poles or obstructions, the open design ensures easy access for feeding, veterinary care, and other management tasks, even in inclement weather. This not only benefits the cattle but also makes the caretaker’s job easier and more efficient.

Regardless of the livestock species you’re working with, a weatherproof, galvanised steel-framed shelter with 100% usable interior space can be a valuable investment.

Hot-dip Gavanised Frame
Hot-dip galvanizing is an effective way to protect steel from corrosion and weathering, resulting in a durable, low-maintenance, and environmentally-friendly material.

• Corrosion resistance – The zinc coating provides three levels of corrosion protection for the underlying steel: barrier protection, cathodic protection, and the formation of a zinc patina. This allows galvanized steel to resist corrosion for decades, even in harsh environments.
• Durability – The galvanized coating is highly abrasion and impact resistant, making galvanized steel durable and able to withstand heavy use.245
• Low maintenance – Once galvanized, the steel requires minimal ongoing maintenance, as the zinc coating is self-healing if scratched or damaged.24
• Versatility – Galvanized steel can be used in a wide range of applications, from roofing and fencing to automotive parts and electrical pylons.5
• Sustainability – Zinc and steel are both abundant, natural materials that can be infinitely recycled without losing their properties.3
