Advantages of Pole Barns for Livestock

If you’re in the livestock business, you know the importance of protecting your animals from the elements and other dangers. Indiana and surrounding states see a wide range of weather patterns throughout the year. We experience brutally cold winters and warm summers, making animal comfort an important necessity.

Here are just a few of the benefits pole barns offer livestock caretakers:

Affordable and easy to install solution – These affordable and highly durable designs will last for years, so that you can focus your attention on other priorities. With construction techniques that have been successfully used to raise barns quickly for years, you can count on a shorter build-timeframe for a livestock barn from start to finish.

Animal-safe construction – Pole barns constructed with arsenic free lumber promote good health. Steel that is corrosion resistant won’t wear down when exposed to livestock waste. Secure tongue and groove framing promotes strength and durability for any livestock being housed.

Temperature control – During weather fluctuations, you need to feel confident that your animals are okay. Pole barns can be designed to maintain a constant temperature for livestock throughout the year with adequate airflow and insulation to keep the space comfortable, clean, and dry.

Air quality control – Ventilation considerations ensure that your barn won’t become a smelly, poor air quality environment for humans or animal. Construction of livestock pole barns takes air quality needs into consideration and maximizes natural air flow for safety and health.

Natural light – Large doors and clear eave panel in the construction improves natural lighting during the day to minimize the need for electricity throughout the year. Natural light also reduces the growth of mold and other germs that could harm livestock over time.

Accommodating layout – If you need a workspace, livestock separation, tack room, or feed storage area, pole barns are, by design, easily customizable. Whether you need to raise a secure shelter fast or you’re looking for a customized, multi-use barn, a pole barn will meet all of your needs.

Whether you have horses, sheep, pigs, goats, cows, or chickens, a pole barn may be the best construction method to meet livestock and caretaker needs.
