With the current cold snap being forecast to continue now is an important time for the animal farming community to consider the need to provide additional livestock shelters. With Spring just around the corner and sheep farmers already watching out for lambs there are a number of good reasons for creating temporary outdoor lambing shelters.
Chisnall Hall Farm - Temporary Lambing Shelters
Lambing Pen Canopies
The need to bring lambing pens indoors was first brought to the attention of Aquila Shelters in 2008 when local sheep farm, Chisnall Hall, enquired about temporary shelters during the lambing season whilst major work was being carried out on their barn. Aquila Shelters created a 1,600 square foot temporary barn to house all of the farm’s lambing pens for a period of 6 weeks.
The temporary farm building proved hugely successful in protecting the farm’s livestock and equipment during a difficult Winter.
Aquila Shelters has been supplying permanent and temporary outdoor shelters to the agricultural industry for more than one quarter of a century. Arable and livestock farmers, farm suppliers, the NFU, Farmers Weekly, Veterinary Practitioners and exhibitors at events such as the Royal Shows, Cereals and Sheep & Muck; have all utilised our outdoor shelters.
