One of the biggest challenges for any grazing site, working farm, or nature conservation reserve, is adequate shelter and housing for livestock – particularly during the winter months when fields become waterlogged, and in the summer when hordes of animals need to be grouped together for testing or treatment.
Our livestock shelters not only offer protection from the elements but enable you to transform an area of a farmyard into temporary housing for horses, cows, sheep, and other livestock during treatment or movement periods.
Why farms continue to choose our livestock shelters
Farming is difficult, especially when tackling the elements and ensuring that livestock remain dry and comfortable through the worst of the British weather. Our livestock shelters construct large, open spaces which can be segmented using your own fencing and handling systems, making them a versatile solution for temporary housing or for managing and moving livestock through a dedicated treatment area.
It’s not just winter time that farmers and livestock managers call on us for livestock shelters and housing solutions. Other occasions when our shelters have proved beneficial include during the breeding season, during lambing and calving, and when shearing or testing livestock for various ailments and diseases – demonstrating how our shelters are just as effective at keeping livestock out of the direct sun, as they are at protecting them from cold or wet conditions.
What makes our shelters such a cost effective solution?
Here at Varna Buildings, we pride ourselves in delivering an efficient service which ensures that every client is supported and advised on the best structure for them as quickly as possible. Our livestock shelters are both versatile and highly effective, with the reinforced steel frames covered with a durable and heavyweight canvas fabric – perfect for quick installation of a vast, open plan space.
As part of our commitment to clients and customers, the material of our livestock shelters and temporary building structures can withstand all weather conditions including snow and high temperatures and boasts a choice of colours to help you achieve your ideal aesthetic and finish as well.
What’s the difference between a livestock shelter and another outdoor structure?
One of the things which makes our livestock shelters so effective and popular is the infrastructure which enables them to be fully secured with your own fencing and internal handling systems for ease of use. We understand that when farms and livestock managers need to test or treat their stock, they need plenty of space and easily accessible walkways and handling pens – with the open plan floorspace inside our livestock shelters making them an adjustable and suitable solution for all users.
With no internal poles within the structure itself, it is the vast and uninterrupted interior which makes our livestock shelters different – lending themselves to all kinds of uses on and around the farm.
