Cattle Buildings

Cattle buildings from Kit Buildings Direct provide the ideal shelter for agricultural livestock.

Before the construction goes ahead, we plan out a complete cattle building design to ensure our vision meets your requirements. During construction, we consider all welfare aspects for the animals, including airflow and insulation. All of our steel cattle buildings have a long life span and are fully CE marked for complete peace of mind. With over 40 years of experience designing and constructing sustainable steel buildings, we understand what is required to ensure your new building is professionally designed, manufactured and constructed.

Each cattle building and cow barn installed by us incorporates fibre cement roofs with strategic air gaps and includes timber side cladding. We consider all internal machinery, partition walls, gates, etc. at the design stage to ensure your new buildings are fit-for-purpose and meet your expectations.

Advantages – steel cattle buildings

Using steel for your cattle house comes with many advantages. Firstly, steel offers design flexibility meaning we can tailor any building to your unique requirements. Then there is the added bonus that steel buildings are very sustainable and stand strong for a long time.

Unlike other building types that require regular maintenance which can be very costly, steel buildings for your cattle do not rust and require next to no maintenance. Further, they do not require any treatment from harsh chemicals, making it far more friendly for cattle. Plus, steel buildings prevent insects and pests from using the building as their home which is great for the protection of the cattle and protects any feed that you keep in the building from cross-contamination.

How important is ventilation for cattle buildings, and how do your buildings handle it?

Ventilation is vital in cattle buildings because it directly affects animal health and welfare. Keeping fresh air moving through the space controls heat, moisture and harmful gases such as ammonia, helping to prevent respiratory diseases and odour build-up.

In our cattle buildings we consider ventilation in the design from the outset and can incorporate features such as strategically positioned air gaps and effective side wall airflow. We produce cattle barns that support good airflow consistent with principles of livestock ventilation, keeping your animals healthy and productive.

Is it possible to expand or extend the building later if herd size increases?

Yes, we can expand or extend your cattle building later if your herd size increases, because our steel frame buildings are designed with flexibility and future growth in mind. Having a clear-span steel structure allows us to add additional bays, incorporate extra doors or openings and reconfigure internal layouts as needed. One of the many benefits of using a steel-framed building is that extensions can be planned to match the original building’s design so they integrate seamlessly. We can work with you to design the expansion to suit your site, herd requirements and production goals as your operation grows.

As well as designing and installing cattle buildings, we also have the skills and facilities to design, manufacture and construct a range of other livestock buildings, including equestrian buildings and poultry houses. We are a manufacturing company that has years of experience providing steel framed farm buildings to the agricultural sector and we have a strong reputation in the UK for delivering on our promises.
