Prefab & Steel Buildings
Livestock Barn
Livestock barn: an open or semi-open steel frame shed with a wide clear span and natural ventilation for cattle, sheep, horses or dairy. Durable, easy to clean. OCALWA supplies at container scale.
Airy, durable shelter for animals
An open or semi-open steel frame gives a wide, high, column-free shelter with excellent natural ventilation and daylight, which keeps cattle, sheep or horses cool and healthy. Durable roofing sheds sun and heavy rain.
The clear span makes feeding, bedding and machine cleaning easy, and the steel structure resists rust and rot for a long life. Layouts are made to your herd, stalls and equipment.
