Bedded Pack Barns This design has become common for folks looking for an easy way to bed their animals and generate valuable compost. The airflow keeps the bedded pack healthy and dry, the steel trusses are away from the animals and bedding, and cleaning the pack out is a breeze. This type of building can be built on concrete walls or blocks, or on wood posts with doubled-up posts for extra strong walls.

Foundations & Options Below are the foundation options for your Superstructure

Wooden Posts We build wood post foundations by augering below frost level and pouring concrete around the post. We use pressure treated 8x8s, or super-rugged RigidPly laminated 8x8s.

Steel Legs Steel leg structures allow for extra height to your building, and gives you the option to have the fabric drop down to the foundation or allow airflow throught the sides.

Concrete Waste Blocks Concrete waste blocks are a great and affordable way to build a foundation. We strap blocks together to solidify the wall. The building can even be taken down and moved entirely at a later date.

Shipping Containers Shipping containers can be used as a foundation for a CC Series structure. This provides additional storage space inside the countainers, inside the building and vertical space on top of the containers.

Bunk Covers Bunk covers are an option available for folks looking to lay out feed on the outside of the building.
