Yes, steel agricultural roller shutters are often used on cattle sheds, poultry houses, lambing sheds and mixed barns. They are strong enough to cope with bumps from machinery and daily use. In livestock buildings you can:

• Let in fresh air by raising the curtain to any height
• Reduce draughts and wind chill when the door is closed
• Help control dust and birds entering the building

If you need any door, information, measure, operation, shutters details for a specific barn or shed, a specialist can advise which model will suit your building and animals.

A well-built agricultural roller shutter offers a high level of security for tools, fuel, fertiliser and machinery. Steel curtains, strong guides and heavy-duty locks make it much harder for thieves to force their way in. To get the best protection you should:

• Pick a model with strong side guides and bottom rails
• Use good quality locks and shoot bolts
• Make sure the shutter is fully closed and locked every time

When you choose, customers, ensure, installed, location, options, premises, required, security, space are all checked so that the system gives the safety level your farm needs.

Agricultural roller shutters are usually made to order, so there is a wide choice of widths and heights. This means you can fit them to small feed rooms or very large machinery stores. Most suppliers offer made to measure units that match:

• The clear opening size of your shed
• The headroom above the opening
• Any limits inside where machinery or doors might clash

For exact sizing, a site survey is useful. A survey will record opening size, fixings and space for tracks, so the new shutter works smoothly with your existing doors and building layout.

Yes, if you pick a good quality product and have it fitted correctly. Many steel agricultural roller shutter doors have a galvanised or coated finish that helps protect against rust, moisture and harsh weather. To keep them in good condition:

• Rinse off mud and salt if your farm is near the coast or a gritted road
• Check the bottom rail and guides for standing water
• Touch up any chips in the paint to stop rust starting
• In very harsh areas, such as coastal sites, you can ask about extra protective coatings or stainless fixings.

Yes. Insulated agricultural shutters use a twin-skin lath with a foam core. This adds a layer of insulation to the opening, which helps with:

• Reducing heat loss from workshops or milk rooms
• Keeping stores cooler in hot weather
• Cutting draughts around livestock and tack rooms

Insulated models are useful where you also need noise reduction, for example beside homes or public roads. These can still be high speed in operation so you do not lose too much heat while the door is open.

Most agricultural roller shutters need only simple care:

• Brush or wash mud and dust from the curtain
• Keep the guides clear of straw and stones
• Check fixings and locks for wear
• Have moving parts checked on a regular plan

Routine cleaning and checks help the system run smoothly and reduce the risk of faults during busy times like harvest. Regular care will also protect the finish from early wear, so the unit lasts longer.

Smaller manual units may be suitable for skilled DIY fitting, but most farm roller shutters are large and heavy. They often need lifting gear and careful setting up, especially for powered operation.

For safety and to protect your warranty, it is usually best to use a trained installer. They will:

• Measure the opening correctly
• Fit the guides, barrel and curtain safely
• Set stops, limits and controls
• Check that the door meets safety rules

If you are unsure, call us and ask for advice before you order. This will help you avoid doors that do not fit or work as required.

There are many locking choices for farm buildings, for example:

• Bottom rail shoot bolts
• Central key locks
• Internal hasp and staple for padlocks
• Electric locks linked to automatic controls

For roller shutters with motors, locks are often built into the drive unit, so you cannot lift the curtain when it is closed. Talk to your supplier about the level of security you need for each building, and any rules set by your insurer.

The price of agricultural roller shutter doors varies, as each project is different. Cost is affected by:

• Door size and whether it is made to measure
• Manual or electric operation
• Insulated or single-skin curtain
• Wind rating and duty level
• Extra features such as high speed motors, safety sensors and controls

To get an accurate price, you will need a site survey and a written quote. This should clearly set out all parts of the work so you can compare options.
