Fixed Shelter

Fixed Shelters

Our fixed Animal Shelters provide cost effective budget shelter coverage and offers a wide range of internal layout options, lending itself to industry applications, including pigs, cattle, sheep and poultry.

Our standard size is 9.1m wide x 45m long, however we can design and manufacture to your length requirement.  The overall height of approx 5m provides ample ventilation for climate control.

Clad with rubber belting on the sides and gates, with variable post spacing options and covered in our heavy duty Canvacon fabric in white or white/silver and end and side wall blinds makes our fixed animal shelters easy to assemble with your own crew, or by our professional experienced crew.

Mobile Shelters

Our mobile shelter range is designed towards the free range chicken industry. This shelter can be easily relocated from paddock to paddock using machinery attached with a tow hitch to support truly ethical free range farming.

Our super strong fully hot dipped galvanised skid frame supports the overall structure and is designed and manufactured to accept the wall posts and hoop structure without losing skid flex and durability.

We make provisions for egg rooms, feeding silos and solar panels.  Whatever the idea, let’s look at how we can make it work!

Fully insulated roof and walls to keep the hens warm at night with doors and blinds driven by our motorised drive shaft and gear mechanisms lock them up safely too.

We ensure through the consultation process that we achieve the right solution for the inclusion of other components such as floor slats and nesting conveyors.

Our team of experienced not only design and manufacture your structure, but they’ll be the same team that will come to site and complete the installation for you.
