About steel-frame & prefabricated pig houses
A pig house is the frame every system hangs on. Its width and length come from the pen layout; its height and openings from the ventilation; its floor and pits from the manure system. We design the structure and envelope together with that equipment and with the local climate, so fixing points, openings and service access are in the right place from the start.
Common configurations
Steel structure
Portal frames sized for the span and local loads.
Prefabricated envelope
Wall and roof panels that go up quickly on site.
Spans and layouts
Single or multi-row houses to suit the pen plan.
Selection checklist
Before we send a layout or quotation, we confirm these points with you.
| Point to confirm | Why we ask |
|---|---|
| House size and structure | Comes from the pen layout and stage. |
| Corrosion protection and insulation | Pig houses are humid and ammonia-rich. |
| Roof loads | Wind and snow loads of your site. |
| Equipment openings and fixings | Fans, inlets, feed lines and pits need prepared points. |
| Drainage and service access | For washing water and maintenance. |
| Construction responsibilities | Who builds foundations and who erects the steel. |
Dimensions, materials and quantities are confirmed for each project.

Frequently asked questions
Can the house be built to local building codes?
The structure is calculated for the loads and rules you give us. Send local requirements early so they are part of the design.
