FarmTarp

Livestock Shelter Barn Covering Curtains is commonly used in free stall barns, pack barns, high tunnels and greenhouses. It allows natural lighting and ventilation in barn structures. A roll-up curtain’s configuration requires a conduit and crank system that uses various pieces of hardware to construct. It is recommended that wire mesh is used to prevent curtain from getting blown into the building during heavy winds and to keep the animals away from the curtain. Poultry house tarpaulin covers are UV stabilized and provide extreme tear and puncture resistance for durability in demanding environments. They are cold-crack resistant and moisture resistant. No matter how large or small, we can be fabricated to your exact specifications. Not only protect your livestock but also provide you with high quality hay covers. How does a tarpaulin cover compare to a traditional shed? Galvanized sheds and shelters have been the traditional option for most agricultural storage requirements based on their solid reputation for stability and durability. Tarpaulins can be constructed from varying types of materials including polypropylene, canvas and vinyl (amongst others) with varying thicknesses which can be categorised as regular duty, heavy duty or super heavy duty. The standard measure for tarp strength is weave count. Tarpaulins with greater weave counts provide greater resistance against potential damage in high wind areas and tarps flexibility is measured on its ability to remain pliable during cold winter months. Advantages of agricultural tarpaulins One of the main advantages of choosing a tarp over a traditional shed, whether its application is for housing livestock or machinery is that tarpaulins are far more cost effective. Tarpaulins stay cooler in summer and can be fixed with thermal covers in winter if needed for livestock purposes. Piggeries and poultry sheds can benefit greatly from a tarpaulin shed as unwanted airflows are eliminated within production areas, minimising energy usage and enhancing the growth environment.
