Livestock field shelters 12x20 m CT4064

A 12.2×20 m covered enclosure - where will it work?

Livestock field shelters of this type are ideal as a sheltered resting place for the herd, but also as a practical 'working' space for everyday use - for feeding, briefly separating the animals or performing basic grooming tasks in more comfortable conditions. The structure's great advantage is its mobility: thanks to the possibility of assembly and disassembly, it can be moved to wherever it is most needed, which fits in well with the rotation of pastures and the seasonal organisation of work on the farm. Livestock field shelters with this type of covering help to maintain better living conditions whatever the weather.

The solution is sometimes used both for animals such as cattle, horses, sheep, goats or alpacas, and as additional farm space - for example for the temporary storage of fodder, straw or hay, as well as a covered area for preparing feed or storing necessary accessories. In practice, this gives greater flexibility in herd management and allows the space within the enclosure to be better organised.

Livestock field shelters in steel and 750 gsm PVC - extremely durable construction

The enclosure is based on a galvanised steel frame (corrosion resistance) and a PVC fabric sheathing of 750 g/m², which is designed to protect against rain and wind and to work under the typical conditions of a pasture and farmyard.

The curved shape of the roof (which favours rainfall run-off) and the ability to adjust the 'opening' of the covers for better air exchange on warmer days (depending on configuration and use) also play an important role in this model.

Structural parameters in accordance include the spacing of the arches every 2.44 m, where arches made of 60×1.5 mm profile and 48×1.5 mm purlins are used, and the fencing elements are made of 40×1.2 mm profile; the whole is completed with a double truss (Double trussed galvanised tube), which reinforces the stability of the structure.

Key benefits in the daily use of the 12.2×20 m Livestock field shelters

The most important benefits in the daily use of the 12.2 ×20 m Livestock field shelters are first and foremost a stable shelter for bad weather - a shelter from rain and wind gusts, and in summer a pleasant shade inside, which improves the comfort of the animals in the enclosure. Equally important is the improved use of space, as the absence of internal posts facilitates sensible zoning and the free positioning of feeders and drinkers without restricting the movement of the herd.

In practice, you will also appreciate the convenience of handling - the wide entrance facilitates the entry of equipment and speeds up cleaning work, and can be left open when needed while the animals use the enclosure without restriction. The whole thing is completed by flexibility and mobility: the structure can be moved to another location on the farm or to another pasture when the grazing organisation and current needs of the herd change.

Assembly of the 12.2x20 m animal shelter

Structures of this type are designed so that assembly and disassembly are possible under farm conditions, without the need for heavy equipment each time the location is changed. This is one of the main advantages of marquee solutions - the enclosure can be erected where it is currently needed, and if the pasture or paddock layout changes, it can simply be moved to another location.

In practice, assembly is based on a repeatable arch spacing (2.44 m) and bolted construction, which tidies up the whole process and makes it easier to plan work step by step. Such a system is also logistically convenient: the components are clearly aligned, and subsequent disassembly and reassembly does not require any 'fiddling' with the layout - so the enclosure also works well if it is to operate seasonally or in rotation on different parts of the farm.
