Preparing for a fierce winter
»»Recent reports
indicate that we are in for a
fairly fierce winter. Like all
businesses, farmers need to be
prepared for severe weather
and as such, agricultural
building specialist, Graham
Heath Construction says it

has seen a huge uptake on
its 100ft x 40ft x 15ft Livestock
‘Special’ building with a price
drop to £17,000 to support
livestock farming.
Experts are saying that the
British Isles are in for a bitterly
cold and snowy winter with

meteorologists predicting that
we will endure a similar winter
to that of 2009/2010, when
heavy snowfall caused chaos
throughout the UK.
Requests are coming in
fast for a variety of livestock
needs from general livestock
buildings to specific builds such
as robotic milking parlours,
sheep and chicken sheds.
Manufacturing the steelwork
on site from its Cheshire plant
allows them to manufacturer to
customers’ exact requirements.
Concrete panels are also
manufactured on-site by sister
company, Concrete Panel
Systems.
The Livestock special
building is ideal for dividing in
two, using half for livestock and
the remainder for machinery.
Severe weather means

machinery may get damaged if
kept outside, so storing it inside
can ensure reliability during the
tough winter months.
Coming from a strong
farming background, the team
at Graham Heath Construction
understand the problems that
winter can bring. All Graham
Heath Construction buildings
and materials are CE Marked
and built with materials that can
withstand severe weather such
as heavy snowfall and frost with
ease. As part of CE Marking, a
structural calculation is carried
out on buildings to give extra
reassurance.
