Agricultural and Equestrian steel-framed buildings

Shufflebottom manufactures high-quality steel-framed buildings for Agricultural and Equestrian projects ranging from livestock housing, stores for grains and other arable crops, specialist pig units, barns, stable blocks, machinery workshops and equestrian buildings. Buildings can be ordered as kits for customers to erect, or with our erection service.

We have been manufacturing and supplying agricultural and equestrian buildings for many years and we understand the specific requirements for the industries. All of our farm building meet BS 5502 industry standards. Shufflebottom can provide a painted finish or a galvanized finish to the steelwork for a building.

Painted Steelwork

Shufflebottom shot-blasts steelwork for a building to B.S. SA 2.5 and then paints with 75 microns Zinc Phosphate High Build Primer, generally in Hollybush Green. However, we offer many more colour options.

Galvanized Steelwork

Steel is galvanized by placing it in a bath of molten zinc at 450degC. The iron in the steel reacts with the zinc to form zinc/iron alloy layers. When the steel is slowly withdrawn from the galvanizing bath, unalloyed ‘free’ zinc is also drawn out and solidifies over the alloy layers, forming the smooth, bright finish that is characteristic of hot-dip galvanizing.

Concrete panels

Pre-stressed concrete panels on Shufflebottom buildings are available in a range of thicknesses, including 95mm, 145mm, 180mm, 200mm and 280mm. They are also available in a range of heights. Pre-stressed concrete panels, which can offer increased security, can be used in a range of applications including stock panels, grain walling and general walling.

Doors

Shufflebottom understands that a new building may require doors to suit a particular farm site. We can manufacture or supply many different types of doors including gates, sliding doors, roller doors, and high security personnel doors. Doors can be colour coded to match a specific building, and constructed to suit standard or non-standard openings. With over 30 years’ experience of manufacturing farm buildings, Shufflebottom can also advise on door fittings and other features.

Kit or Erect buildings

Shufflebottom buildings are available as supply-only in kit form as well as erected by us.

Kit buildings

Shufflebottom buildings can be supplied in kit form for a customer to erect themselves. This has many advantages including kit buildings generally having a shorter lead time than erected buildings as a customer does not need to wait for one of Shufflebottom’s erection teams to become available. By choosing to erect their own building, a customer can put the building up in their own time, and bring in other trades at a time that suits them.

Erect buildings

Shufflebottom buildings can also be supplied with our erection service, meaning that we can will erect and clad a building on a customer’s behalf. As part of this service, we can provide all the plant and labour needed to erect the agricultural or equestrian building.
