Product Description

Our steel structure livestock shed is purpose-built for large ruminant animals including beef cattle, dairy cows, sheep, goats, and horses. Unlike enclosed poultry or swine facilities, livestock sheds prioritize open-sided designs that maximize natural airflow while providing protection from rain, snow, and excessive solar radiation. The structural system uses heavy-gauge hot-rolled steel columns (up to 200mm flange width) with impact-resistant design loads accounting for animal rubbing, pushing, and leaning behaviors common in feedlot and barn environments.

The primary framing consists of rigid portal frames or single-slope (monoslope) configurations that allow clear spans of 15 to 45 meters without interior columns. This column-free space is essential for unhindered animal movement, mechanical feed delivery, and manure scraping operations. All steel members are hot-dip galvanized or coated with heavy-duty epoxy-polyester systems, providing 25+ years of corrosion protection in manure-contact and urine-exposed areas. Secondary components include galvanized purlins that support roof panels and optional windbreak curtains on sidewalls.

A distinctive feature of our livestock shed is the adaptable penning system. The steel frame includes pre-drilled connection points for removable tubular gates, allowing rapid reconfiguration of pen sizes for calving, weaning, or medical isolation. Floor systems are not included as part of the steel package but are designed to integrate with compacted gravel, concrete alleys, or rubber mat flooring based on client preference. The roof incorporates translucent panel strips (10-20% of area) to provide natural daylight while reducing heat load. Ventilation is achieved through continuous ridge openings and adjustable sidewall curtains that can be raised or lowered to control airflow and precipitation entry. We offer complete engineering services including wind load analysis for open-sided structures, snow drift calculations, and integration with watering troughs and feed bunks.
