Protection from the elements
Keeping bales dry is critical for maintaining quality and nutrition for feeding horses, cattle, and other livestock. Our well-constructed hay sheds safeguard your livestock feed by:
- Preventing exposure to rain, wind, and harsh UV rays
- Preserving nutritional value by keeping moisture away
- Providing year-round defence against fluctuating weather
Damp hay can develop mould and mycotoxins, leading to significant spoilage and financial loss. Additionally, moisture contributes to structural corrosion over time, weakening unprotected sheds. Our structural steel sheds ensure your hay remains dry, safe, and ready for use, while also protecting the shed itself from degradation.
Designed to suit your needs
The internal environment is as important as external protection. Incorrect stacking can create moisture traps that compromise quality and risk structural damage. Our fully galvanised sheds optimise internal conditions by:
- Promoting optimal airflow to reduce moisture retention
- Shielding against ground moisture, rain, and excessive heat
- Incorporating strategic venting (ridge vents or open gable designs) to eliminate condensation
Proper air circulation helps prevent structural corrosion while maintaining the quality of stored hay. We also offer engineering consultations to discuss dimensions and design, ensuring that your shed is built to meet your specific requirements.
Custom Storage Solutions for Different Farming Operations
Every farm has unique storage needs. We offer tailored designs to suit:
- Cattle and sheep farms: Open-front sheds for easy access
- Dairy farms: Secure, moisture-controlled storage
- Equestrian facilities: Enclosed, dust-free storage
- Mixed-use farms: Multi-purpose sheds for hay alongside machinery
When designing your hay shed, we consider prevailing winds, drainage, and accessibility to ensure practicality in daily operations.
Flexible bay sizes for your storage
We offer a range of bay sizes from 6 metres to 16 metres to suit your needs. Common configurations include:
- 8-metre bays: Ideal for stacking three 8-foot bales side by side
- Custom bay sizes: For larger or smaller bales
- Expandable designs: To increase capacity as your operation grows
Bays can also be moved or extended to accommodate different bale sizes or increased storage requirements. Proper stacking maximises airflow and minimises handling time. Our engineers work closely with you to design a shed that optimises efficiency and long-term durability, whether for seasonal or year-round use.
