Ready to make the smart choice?
Your assets, be they livestock, machinery, feed or a harvest, need to be protected. At SmartShelters we have 100 years of experience in building farm sheds and other industrial shelters for uniquely New Zealand conditions. Our farm sheds keep your assets safe, while facilitating simpler and more efficient management of your property. The best farm shed will change depending on your situation. At SmartShelters we design and construct a wide range of agricultural shelters for specific uses, including composting , wintering and loafing , calf-rearing and arena coverage , to name a few.
Keeping your animals comfortable and healthy isn’t just good for them, it’s good for business. Livestock grows faster, is more productive and fetches higher prices when they’re afforded the best conditions, so providing your herd of cattle, sheep, pigs, goats, deer or any other type of livestock with shelter simply makes financial sense.
At SmartShelters we have a century of experience in building livestock shelters, and can rapidly design and construct a shelter to your exact specifications. SmartShelter livestock shelters use super strength membrane structure fabric to allow for natural light and great ventilation, while protecting your animals from high wind, high snow and high rain, and keeping them warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer.
"We've pulled calves out of the mud, and it takes a long time for the pasture to recover. The shelters have made a huge difference to the land"
‘‘The cows are shiny, happy, and fat here. They are probably in the best condition we have had cows in winter.’’
“We are growing cow condition every year, and our pastures are being looked after, and we are getting more grass”. Feed savings are rising, and there’s little wastage."
"They’re very content, they turn into quiet cows as well, it’s easy to make sure they get enough to eat, and it really, really does work."
"We haven’t had any milk fever, and haven’t had any dead calves."
"We milk 600 cows. They’re 500-kilo animals and we do 600 kilos per cow."
But no matter what purpose your agri-shelter might serve, the best farm sheds do have a few things in common.
A high quality farm shed will:
It’s important to view your structure not as a cost, but as an investment – the right construction will enable you to work better, while protecting the things that you need protected. As such, the lowest initial price doesn’t often work out to be the lowest price in the long term. Quality matters.
That fact aside, farm sheds can be any and every price. There are a number of factors that will influence the price of your construction, including:
The best farm building is one that is fit for purpose. You don’t want to be rearing calves in a composting barn, nor do you want to be storing machinery in a dairy sheep shed – this costs you money by making your job harder and your business less efficient.
