At 9.0 metres wide the Cheviot is a formidable building, built to perform in the demanding agricultural environment. Available in a range of lengths, the modular construction allows the building to be supplied to house between 150 to 400 sheep housing, making the Cheviot an ideal alternative to the permanent steel shed.
An adaptable internal environment; sheep can be housed loose for maximum capacity or penned either side of a central 3-metre drive passage for efficient management of the space and flock.
Creating the perfect environment for lambing and in-wintering, the Cheviot is well ventilated, light and airy. The white polythene roof sheet creates a cool environment, providing a dry building throughout the winter months. Designed to withstand the harshest weather conditions while delivering the perfect space to manage flocks, increase productivity and provide shelter.
The Cheviot’s structure is manufactured from 60mm (section), 1.5mm thick, Z35 hot-dip galvanized steel tube providing superior structural integrity along with a lasting and high-quality finish. Diagonal cross bracing is fitted at both gable-ends between the first and second hoop, creating a robust structure, to ensure stability in adverse weather conditions.
A UV stabilised 180mu white polythene roof sheet gives the structure a high-quality resilient finish. Once fitted and tensioned the polythene forms part of the building’s structure, secured in place and pulled tight with a timber tensioning bar. The polythene is easily maintained and simply repaired if accidentally punctured – if more significant damage occurs replacement sheets can be re-ordered and fitted independently with minimal disruption.
