Designing Cattle Buildings for All Seasons

Home | Blog | Designing Cattle Buildings for All Seasons

With the increasing challenges of changing weather patterns, it’s crucial for cattle housing to provide optimal conditions for animal welfare year-round. At Robinsons we specialise in designing agricultural buildings that cater to these needs, ensuring durability and adaptability through every season.

Steel building roofing options

Roofing Options

We offers advanced roofing solutions, such as fibre cement roofs, which are not only durable but also excellent for natural ventilation. These roofs are designed to handle heavy rainfall and intense sunlight, mitigating heat and moisture build up inside the building. The use of materials like Light Ridge, which incorporates waterproof PVC and wind guide plates, enhances natural light transmission and airflow, crucial for maintaining a healthy environment for livestock.

Optimized Ventilation Systems

Proper ventilation is essential to prevent heat stress and improve air quality within cattle buildings. We utilise innovative systems, which allows for controlled airflow, removing stale air while protecting from rain. These systems, along with options like Open Protected ridges with polycarbonate strips, ensures a balance between ventilation and light, critical for cattle comfort.

Cladding and Structural Design

The choice of cladding, such as Yorkshire Boarding with specific gaps, is another crucial feature. This not only facilitates airflow but also helps in managing internal temperature and humidity levels, protecting cattle from extreme weather conditions. Robinsons designs often incorporate cantilevered sides, providing sheltered feeding areas that offer easy access for machinery and maintain ventilation.

Tailored Solutions for Every Need

Understanding that every farm has unique requirements, we offer bespoke solutions tailored to specific herd needs. Whether it’s adjusting the height of ridges or selecting the appropriate materials, their approach ensures that the buildings are not just functional but also enhance animal welfare and productivity.
