• Power drill(s) – speeds up assembly and makes bolts effortless to tighten
• Heavy-duty mash hammer – ideal for driving stake pegs firmly into place
• Spirit level – confirms the frame is straight, stable, and properly aligned

We prefer hot-dip galvanising on all our products because:

Hot-dip galvanising is a is an effective way to protect steel from corrosion and weathering, resulting in a durable, low-maintenance, and environmentally friendly material. Our galvanising methodology is a process whereby the steel used in this livestock shelter is submerged in a scorching bath of molten zinc, which creates a protective zinc coating that metallurgically bonds to the steel.

• Corrosion resistance – The zinc coating provides three levels of corrosion protection for the underlying steel: barrier protection, cathodic protection, and the formation of a zinc coalting. This allows galvanized steel to resist corrosion for decades, even in harsh environments.
• Durability – The galvanized coating is highly abrasion and impact resistant, making galvanised steel durable and able to withstand heavy use.
• Low maintenance – Once galvanised, the steel requires minimal ongoing maintenance, as the zinc coating is self-healing if scratched or damaged.
• Versatility – Galvanised steel can be used in a wide range of applications, from roofing and fencing to automotive parts and electrical pylons.
• Sustainability – Zinc and steel are both abundant, natural materials that can be infinitely recycled without losing their properties.
