WHY WOODEN STRUCTURES?
By using ready-made roof truss structures, you will achieve the following advantages:
• reduced investment – optimised use of wood reduces the cost of the truss, wooden structures are usually 2-3 times cheaper than steel.
• trusses with a span of up to 30 m between walls/strong> without the use of auxiliary supports.
• high precision of the structure – the trusses are manufactured on special equipment, the location of the structural rods is calculated using certified software. As a result, the truss has a guaranteed load-bearing capacity.
• the total cost is known at the beginning of construction – the cost estimate of the entire structure precedes the production and signing of the contract, the investor knows the final cost of the farms already at the design stage (while with the traditional approach, when hiring workers, we deal with a relative price offer that depends on many components, for example: the cost of wood, transportation, waste, work of craftsmen, tools, antiseptics, etc.)
• convenience and speed of installation – the investor receives the structure together with the project and instructions for assembling the finished elements on the roof, which, in case of refusal from the services of the installation team, will allow them to perform the installation themselves.
• a flexible and individual approach to each structure – design and manufacture of structures in accordance with the needs of the client,
• low weight – weight of one truss with a span of 12 metres, as a rule, is 70 – 80 kg, this allows you to refuse to use heavy lifting equipment, and make light foundations and walls.
• resistance to aggressive environments – wood, unlike steel, is not destroyed by ammonia and urea, which occur in livestock production, poultry houses, pigsties, stables, etc., these gases cause corrosion of steel, and at the same time, in a certain way, impregnate wood, adding to its strength.
• in case of fire, wooden structures usually retain their properties and meet the strength conditions longer than steel, many people do not understand that a metal structure quickly reaches the yield point and loses stability when open flame.
• creating a better indoor climate.
• the possibility of manufacturing trusses in which the lower belt will also be the supporting structure of the ceiling – which will allow you to allocate additional space under the roof, for example, for storing hay.
• the possibility of extending the construction season, as it is possible to build a roof in winter.
WHAT FACILITIES SHOULD WOODEN TRUSSES BE USED FOR?
• cowsheds
• pigsties
• stables
• poultry houses
• riding halls
• granaries
• sheds for agricultural machinery
• pens for animals
• roofs of buildings
HOW TO CHOOSE A FARM?
As the structures are individually designed for each building, there are almost unlimited possibilities for customisation to suit your needs. The most common types of trusses for agricultural buildings:
А. WOODEN TRUSS STRUCTURES ON BRICK WALLS
Such a structure can be triangular or scissor-shaped, if the investor needs to increase the height of the interior of the building. The roof structure is mounted on walls made of brick or concrete elements. Here are some examples:
B. UPPER PART OF THE WALL AND ROOF MADE OF WOODEN STRUCTURES
This more complex building construction is recommended by us if the facility has a ready-made brick wall with a height of 1.5 or 2 m, for example, in cowsheds, stables and other buildings for large animals, as well as in storage facilities for grain or machinery. The advantage of such a construction solution is that the brick wall is located in the areas most susceptible to mechanical damage, manure or pressure from grain, and the upper part is a wooden structure that is cheaper than masonry:
In this case, we combine the lowest price with high cost-effectiveness!
С. BUILDINGS WITH AN ATTIC FOR STORING HAY, FEED, ETC.
It is worth taking advantage of the opportunity to create a truss with a puff instead of a regular lattice truss. In this inexpensive way, you get additional space under the roof, which can be used at your discretion.
D. EXTENSIONS TO AN EXISTING BUILDING – E.G. COW WALKWAYS
Our structures can also be used as a shed, e.g. a cow walkway, if there is no need to build a full-fledged facility. This solution is the most inexpensive, as you only pay for the cost of manufacturing the supports and roof structures.
E. FRAME STRUCTURES
The cheapest way to build a facility is to use a frame structure. Wherever there is no need to protect the lower part of the wall, this solution is the best. The operational properties remain on a par with traditional walls, and the price of the frame structure is incomparably lower!
