Livestock Shelter 15 × 30 m with open operation.

The model shows a simple covered solution without industrial doors, pedestrian doors or daylighting. Openness, orientation and operational layout must be adapted to the animals and local conditions.

Starting model

Key details in one place.

The starting model provides 450 m² of covered space with open sides.

  • 15 × 30 m · 450 m²
  • Wall height 3 m · ridge 4.5 m
  • Pitched roof · 11° pitch
  • 6 steel frames · 6 m spacing
  • No industrial doors, personnel doors or translucent panels

The details describe this starting model. It is a preliminary study, not structural design, fabrication or construction documentation.

Planning the operation

The shelter must provide protection while remaining safely accessible.

Consider animal movement, feeding, bedding, machinery and the direction of adverse weather. The hall size is only one part of the operational solution.

    How many animals and which groups will the shelter serve?

  2. 02

    How will animals, feed, bedding and machinery move through it safely?

  3. 03

    Which sides should remain open and which should be protected from the weather?

  4. 04

    How will the floor, drainage, ventilation and cleaning be handled?

Edit in the Studio

Adapt the covered area to the animals and staff.

The 15 × 30 m model can be changed dimensionally and supplemented according to the required degree of protection.

Technical solution

What the starting model actually contains.

The description is based on the issued template and verified model documentation. Detailed technical assessment belongs to the relevant specialists.

Technical design of the model

The open shelter has a 15 × 30 m footprint, an area of 450 m² and six transverse frames at six-metre centres. The wall height is 3 m and the ridge reaches 4.5 m.

The 11° gable roof is covered with uninsulated TR 45/333 profiled steel sheeting in RAL 8014. TR 35/207 wall cladding in the same colour encloses only the gable triangles; the sides below the perimeter beams remain open. The design has no industrial doors, personnel doors or translucent panels. The third image is an AI-generated product visualisation, not a photograph of a completed building. This is a study; the final member sizes, foundations, anchorage and fire-safety design will be determined by the subsequent specialist design.

Animal welfare must be assessed by a specialist.

The model does not define capacity, welfare, ventilation, flooring, drainage, feeding or manure removal.

Your own design

What you can change in the Studio.

When changing the cladding, consider ventilation, safe animal movement and machinery access.

01

Hall dimensions

Adjust the width, length and height to suit the site and intended operation.

02

Roof shape and pitch

Compare a suitable roof shape and its basic geometry.

03

Industrial doors, personnel doors and daylighting

Position openings according to the movement of people, vehicles and materials, and the need for daylight.

04

Cladding and appearance

Try different material and colour solutions for the external and roof cladding.

Brief answers

What to clarify for a Livestock Shelter.

Answers about openness, operation and further design.

Can some sides of the shelter be clad?

Yes. The model can be adjusted. The extent of cladding must nevertheless preserve suitable ventilation and safe animal movement.

Does the model determine the number of animals?

No. Capacity depends on the animal species, housing method, feeding, hygiene and applicable requirements.

Are the floor and drainage part of the study?

No. These elements must be developed in relation to the operation, local conditions and hygiene and environmental requirements.
