Shufflebottom delivers yet another farm building to Northamptonshire!
Sometimes we have to remind ourselves at Shufflebottom just how much our business has grown since the early days back in 1977, when we manufactured a single garden gate for a customer. The rest is history, as they say, and today we are proud to manufacture and supply steel-framed buildings and structural steel for projects in postcodes across the UK and beyond.
Our position as one of the UK’s leading suppliers of buildings to the agricultural sector is acknowledged, and indeed the range of buildings we supply for this diverse sector is affectionately and collectively known in the business as ‘Shuff Sheds’.
Last month, we supplied yet another ‘Shuff Shed’ to Northamptonshire, adding to our presence on the ground in the lovely farming areas of the East Midlands.
Our client, Mr Martin Richardson of EWG Braddick Ltd. of Airfield Farm, Hinwick, (an agricultural company that has a long-standing history in the county having been registered in 1959). We supplied a new steel-framed building which is now sited on the cereals’ farm.
It is a portal-framed building built to B.S. 5950 – Industrial Specification – CE Marked to Execution Class 2. It is a building of size, measuring 120ft. long x 40ft. wide x 17ft. 6ins with an additional 120ft. long x 5ft. wide overhang to 1 side. It includes 6 x 20ft. bays.
Our steel work for the project is shotblast to B.S. SA 2.5 and painted in 75 microns Zinc Phosphate High Build Primer – in colour 18-E-53 (Blue). The roof is clad in Goosewing Grey 0.7mm Single Skin Plastic Coated Box Profile and he sides are clad in Vertical Juniper Green 0.5mm Plastic Coated Box Profile. We quite liked the fact that the steel work is blue and fits nicely with a farm called Airfield!
We’d like to thank EWG Braddick Ltd. for investing in Shufflebottom. The steel-framed building (delivered with care and love from SA14 to NN29) is testament of our ever-increasing reach across the UK.
