Cow housing

Modern construction of tent cattle sheds - fast assembly on concrete blocks

Tent cattle sheds are steel-frame structures covered with a durable PVC tarpaulin that can be mounted on various types of ground, including concrete blocks. Their modular construction allows for quick assembly and disassembly, which is particularly beneficial in dynamically changing agricultural production conditions.

EN offers its tent cattle sheds for assembly on lego concrete blocks. This type of assembly significantly speeds up and reduces the cost of erecting a new facility on a farm. Prefabricated cattle shed modules with a length of 6 m and various widths are available off-the-shelf. So you can start building or expanding at any time. We deliver our products to customers within 2-3 working days and within 3-5 working days in Europe.

Functional cow housing - a combination of durability, flexibility and cost-effectiveness

Tent cattle sheds are a modern solution increasingly chosen by cattle farmers who are looking for a practical alternative to traditional brick buildings. They combine functionality, flexibility of use and value for money while providing suitable housing conditions for dairy and fattening cows all year round.

Quick assembly and easy adaptation

Tent cattle sheds are characterised by significantly shorter assembly times than brick buildings - in many cases, the building can be ready for use just a few days after delivery. The lightweight yet stable modular construction allows for efficient assembly without complicated construction work. Importantly, the tent cattle sheds can be easily extended, reconfigured or relocated, allowing for flexibility in responding to farm growth, changing herd sizes or seasonal breeding needs.

Lower investment costs

The fact that no foundations are required and the tent can be assembled by hand reduces the total investment cost. The cow tent provides a virtually ready-made roof and walls at a relatively low price, making it an effective alternative to traditional barn structures. Additional savings include lower formal costs and a shorter lead time, which allows the facility to be operational sooner. In the long term, this translates into less strain on the farm budget and better planning for future investments.

Flexible use

Agricultural tents are not only suitable for use as cow tents:

• free-standing shelters, providing space for the animals to move around freely,
• shelters for calves, heifers and youngstock,
• storage facilities for fodder, hay or straw,
• roofs for agricultural machinery and equipment.

Animal comfort and welfare

A well-planned tent cattle shed for beef cattle sheds provides adequate ventilation and, thanks to its great height and lack of internal supports, gives the animals freedom of movement. Adequate space also serves their health and productivity - a confirmed trend in modern agriculture that pays attention to cattle welfare. Modern mobile livestock shelters further add to the flexibility of the farm, allowing easy zoning, organisation of the paddock and quick adaptation of the space to the current needs of the herd, without interfering with the permanent infrastructure.

Versatile and robust

Tent structures made of high-quality PVC materials and galvanised steel are resistant to changing weather conditions - effectively protecting against rain, snow, wind and UV radiation, providing a stable environment regardless of the season. The materials used are characterised by high durability and resistance to mechanical damage, which translates into a long life of the facility. This makes the tent cattle shed suitable both as a seasonal and year-round solution, adapted to the realities of a modern farm.

Applications for tent cattle sheds

Tent cattle sheds are becoming increasingly popular with farmers and ranchers who expect functional and flexible solutions. Thanks to their modular construction and adaptability to different site and organisational conditions, the tents prove themselves not only as temporary, but also as permanent elements of agricultural infrastructure. They are used on small family farms as well as on large intensive livestock farms.

Free-standing tent cattle sheds

One of the most common applications for agricultural tents is the creation of free-stall cattle sheds for dairy and beef cattle. This type of solution promotes animal welfare - cows can move freely, rest in designated areas or use the paddock. The interior of the marquee can be easily adapted to the needs of the herd -equipped with bedding, feed tables or watering systems. Thanks to the great height at the top and the lack of internal supports, the breeder has complete freedom in arranging the space.

The modular construction of our roofs means that a barn for 60 dairy cows or a barn for 100 cows can be optimally designed in terms of space, functional layout and future expansion. If the herd size increases, the facility can easily be extended by adding additional segments without having to interrupt farm operations. Such a solution allows flexible planning of breeding development and adaptation of the infrastructure to real production needs.

Breeding sheds for youngstock

Our canopies can serve as a barn for young cows that require a suitable environment, and a safe shelter promotes their development and reduces stress. The tents are ideal as animal shelters for calves and heifers - they are easy to ventilate, provide protection from rainfall and excessive sunshine and allow the animals to move freely. They can be fitted with group or individual pens, depending on the housing system.

Feed and straw stores

Thanks to their airtight and weatherproof PVC tarpaulin, tent cattle sheds can be used effectively as roughage and straw storage facilities. They provide protection from moisture, which prevents mould growth and loss of nutritional value. The tent halls can be used to store hay and straw bales as well as bulk feed - access from three sides allows easy loading and unloading with machinery.

Canopies for agricultural machinery

Tent cattle sheds also act as open carports for agricultural machinery, trailers, tractors and harvesting equipment. They protect them from rain, snow and UV radiation, which contributes to their longer service life and reduces the risk of corrosion. In the winter, an agricultural tent can be used as a service hall, and in the summer it can be used for handling crops or storing crop protection products.

Concrete block walls - a stable and practical basis for a tent cattle shed

One of the most frequently chosen construction solutions by farmers building tent cattle sheds are prefabricated concrete block walls. This type of construction foundation works well for both dairy and beef cattle barns. The concrete blocks form a solid, stable base that does not require the pouring of foundations or the involvement of heavy construction equipment. Thanks to their weight and modular construction, they can be easily set at the correct spacing to create a durable wall that can withstand wind pressure, pressure from animals or contact with agricultural machinery.

The blocks not only have a stabilising function, but also a practical one - they provide a natural barrier separating the usable part of the tent from the ground, protecting the tarpaulin from mechanical damage and dirt. In addition, they can serve as retaining walls when storing silage, manure or straw. Tent cattle sheds mounted on concrete blocks perform excellently even in difficult terrain and weather conditions and at the same time allow for mobility - the structure can be dismantled or moved in the future.

Flexible housing dimensions - solutions for small and large herds

Thanks to the wide range of available dimensions, the tent cattle sheds can be precisely matched to the size of the herd and the farming method. Whether it's a smaller 30-cow or a larger 70-cow barn, you can design the right size for the animals in terms of space, movement comfort and organisation. The modular construction allows you to choose not only the length and width of the building, but also its height and internal layout, which is crucial when planning modern breeding infrastructure.

This approach means that our free-stall barns for dairy cows can be fully tailored to the individual needs of the farm - both in terms of animal numbers and future expansion. The flexibility in dimensions enables the creation of functional spaces that promote herd welfare, facilitate daily handling and allow efficient space management regardless of the scale of production.
