Key Features: Efficient Protection & Smart Expansion for Modern Agriculture

Hay Protection System

To ensure optimal quality preservation, our Hay Storage Barns are equipped with several high-performance protection features:

• Dual-Channel Air Circulation System: The roof vent and adjustable side wall louver windows create optimal airflow, preventing moisture buildup and mold, keeping hay dry and fresh.
• UV-Resistant Roof Coating: The roof features ASTM G154 certified UV-resistant coating with a reflectivity ≥85%, significantly reducing UV damage to hay and lowering vitamin loss by up to 30%, preserving essential nutrients.
• Ground Moisture Barrier: A 1.2mm thick HDPE material forms an effective moisture barrier, preventing ground moisture from seeping into the barn and ensuring dry hay storage.

Smart Expansion Features

In addition to superior protection, Hay Storage Barns offer flexible, modern solutions for expanding storage needs:

• IoT Sensor Interface: Pre-installed interfaces for temperature, humidity, and CO2 monitoring sensors, allowing real-time environmental monitoring to ensure optimal storage conditions.
• Modular Expansion Design: Modular components allow for easy and unlimited expansion of the barn, adapting to growing storage demands.
• Agricultural Equipment Loading Dock: The adjustable unloading dock (1.8-3.5m height range) fits various agricultural machinery, facilitating quick and efficient unloading.

Performance Parameters

• Span Capacity: Offers a large-span column-free space, with a maximum clear span of up to 40 meters, increasing space utilization by 20%.
• Wind Resistance: EN 1991-1-4 certified, capable of withstanding a category 13 typhoon.
• Steel Material Standards: Made from S350GD+Z aluminum-zinc coated steel (275g/m² coating), offering 3 times the corrosion resistance of conventional materials.
• Modular Prefabricated Components: Reduces installation time by 50% compared to traditional construction methods.
• Roof Load Capacity: Designed to withstand 1.5kN/m² snow load, ensuring reliability even in heavy snow conditions.
• Fire Resistance Certification: Equipped with fire resistance ratings (e.g., Class A fire test report) for added safety.
• International Certifications: CE EN 1090 and ISO 1461 corrosion standards ensure international quality compliance.
• Corrosion and Rust Resistance: Special protective treatments ensure long-term stability and durability of the structure, even in harsh environments.

Customization Options

• Multiple Size Options: Our Hay Storage Barns come in a variety of standard sizes to meet the needs of different farm scales, from small operations to large agricultural enterprises. Whether you’re storing hay for a few livestock or managing large-scale storage, we have the right solution for you.
• Custom Design: We understand that every farm has unique storage needs, and we offer fully customizable solutions to ensure the barn fits your specific requirements. Our design team works closely with you to:
  • Adjust Dimensions: Customize the length, width, and height of the barn to maximize space efficiency and meet your storage needs.
  • Modify Structural Elements: Choose the placement and size of doors, vents, and loading docks to accommodate your machinery and workflow.
  • Choose Roofing Options: Select from various roof designs to optimize snow load resistance, light penetration, or insulation depending on your regional climate and storage needs.
  • Adapt Ventilation Systems: Design a tailored ventilation system that ensures proper airflow, moisture control, and mold prevention, based on the specific climate and humidity levels of your region.
• Additional Features: To further enhance the storage environment, we offer a range of optional features:
  • Insulation Layers: Choose an insulated roof or walls to maintain a stable internal temperature, which is crucial for preserving hay quality, especially in extreme climates.
  • Translucent Roofing: For improved natural lighting, translucent roof panels are available to reduce the need for artificial lighting and create a healthier environment for the hay.
  • Heavy-Duty Foundation: For regions with unstable soil or areas prone to high winds, we offer reinforced foundation options to ensure the barn’s stability and durability.

Each Hay Storage Barn is engineered to suit the specific demands of your operation, with flexibility to adjust to any size, feature, or environmental requirement. Our goal is to provide a solution that integrates seamlessly into your farm, offering maximum efficiency and long-term value.
