Farm, storage and machinery protection

Agricultural Shelters and K-Span Farm Roofs

Self-supporting curved steel panels provide practical covered space for farm machinery, hay, feed, materials, livestock areas and daily agricultural operations. Every layout is reviewed according to its dimensions, location, supports and intended use.

Practical Agricultural Applications

K-Span roof systems can be developed for many types of agricultural storage and covered working space.

Machinery and Plant

Weather protection for tractors, implements, vehicles, workshop areas and other agricultural equipment.

Hay, Feed and Materials

Covered areas for hay, feed, aggregates, timber, packaged goods and other farm materials requiring protection.

Livestock and Yard Areas

Shelter, shade and covered operational areas can be considered with appropriate ventilation, drainage and enclosure planning.

Designed Around the Farm Requirement

Agricultural projects differ according to the available supports, clear span, required length, access, stored materials and exposure to wind, rain and snow.

Machinery and vehicle shelters
Hay barns and feed-storage areas
Farm workshops and covered workspaces
Bulk-material and aggregate storage
Livestock shade and weather protection
Covered yards and loading areas

Project Planning Process

Provide the key project information so the proposed agricultural shelter can be reviewed properly.

1. Dimensions Confirm the clear span, overall length, required height and access.

2. Intended Use Explain what will be stored, housed or carried out beneath the roof.

3. Site Information Provide the postcode, photographs, ground details and proposed supports.

4. Technical Review Panel thickness, supports, fixings, drainage and enclosure requirements can then be considered.

Important: Final suitability depends on the proposed span, support arrangement, location, exposure, loading, drainage, ventilation and intended use. Planning permission, Building Regulations and specialist structural input may also be required for the individual project.

Agricultural Project Experience

Arch Span's current Derbyshire case study records multiple K-Span panel sets supplied for barns, shades and horse sheds. The customer self-assembled the structures, with on-site installation guidance provided during the project.

This type of experience helps identify the practical information needed before manufacture, delivery and installation planning.

Agricultural Shelter Questions

What agricultural buildings can use K-Span roofing?

Potential uses include machinery shelters, hay and feed storage, workshops, material stores, livestock shade and covered yard areas. Suitability must be reviewed for the individual project.

Can the shelter have side walls or end walls?

Side walls, end walls, doors and other enclosure requirements can be considered as part of the overall project design.

Are the shelter dimensions fixed?

No. Span, length, height, curvature, panel thickness and fixing arrangements are selected according to the project requirements.

What information should I send?

Include the width, length, height, postcode, intended use, support details, photographs, access requirements and any walls or doors needed.

Is ventilation important?

Yes. Ventilation, condensation control and drainage should be considered carefully, particularly for livestock, hay, feed and moisture-sensitive materials.
