FABRIC DAIRY BUILDINGS
Maintaining the health and safety of dairy livestock is essential for successful operations. Calhoun's fabric structures create the ideal conditions for dairy farm buildings by shielding against harsh weather and other environmental dangers.
When you select a Calhoun fabric structure, you gain maximum flexibility and dependability for your operations. Our HDPE fabric offers increased protection against abrasion during fabrication, installation, and everyday use, ensuring a longer-lasting structure and low overall utility costs.
We offer a broad range of customization opportunities. Our experienced engineers craft dairy farm buildings that match your herd size, equipment needs, and environmental conditions. Reach maximum efficiency with an area that supports your specifications.
CALHOUN STRUCTURES MEET DAIRY BARN REQUIREMENTS
A dairy cow barn needs healthy ventilation and ample space to run efficiently. Housing and handling facilities should meet all local regulations while also adapting to topography and operation size. From raising calves to milking cattle, you need a facility that lets you move freely and protects your animals.
A Calhoun Super Structure solution helps you meet all of these goals. Our bright and airy structures create the perfect environment for animals to support optimal health. Studies show that an increase in the amount of light a dairy cow is exposed to will increase their milk production almost immediately. The shape and flexibility of our fabric agricultural structures provide optimal indoor temperatures for your livestock, providing lower utility costs while keeping your herd healthy.
We can build on most foundation types and match specific heights and widths to meet exact requirements. Our durable, well-ventilated structures endure the harshest weather and create a safe atmosphere. Calhoun engineers work closely with you to develop a structure for your property, operational needs, and personal preferences.
Reliable ventilation
A crucial aspect of dairy barn management is keeping livestock safe. Fabric structures provide superior airflow for your livestock and internal assets. Our fabric establishes a well-ventilated atmosphere. Efficient airflow keeps livestock and employees safe during daily operations.
Natural light
Our structures allow natural light to enter your dairy barn, creating an improved indoor environment. Livestock can view day and night cycles, which facilitates healthy sleeping patterns. Well-lit areas also help workers perform better, establishing a safe, comfortable workplace.
Environmental protection
Our fabric structures offer maximized protection against environmental elements. Expert engineers design structures based on site conditions, anticipating weather impacts. We use high-density polyethylene (HDPE) fabric and galvanized steel frames, enabling structures to endure severe weather conditions. Calhoun structures shield your dairy farm buildings from rain, snow, wind, extreme temperatures and more.
Maximum Space
We engineer our structures based on your requirements. If you want options to maximize the space, we can design an agricultural building with extra-high, cathedral-style ceilings to provide extra room for storage and livestock. To customize our structures to your unique needs, we build to your preferred dimensions and ensure you get a finished product that works best with your operations.
Customizable design
Choose from a wide variety of configurations and designs to find the optimal fit. Our dedicated team works with you to engineer a structure for your environmental area and interior features like milking and feeding systems. Add extra features like ventilation systems, daylight panels, colorful graphics and more. We encourage custom projects, and will minimize or broaden your structure to accommodate dairy stalls, feeding bins, hutches and other essential structures.
Clear-span interior
We use a clear-span ceiling with no interior columns to afford maximum space. Users receive ample room to carry out daily tasks, while animals rest comfortably. Our engineers customize structures to your specifications, adding extra ceiling height if needed.
