As the seasons change here in the Pacific Northwest, we know how unpredictable the weather can get. From drizzly fall rains to the cold, biting winds of winter, our region presents unique challenges for livestock and farm animals. Whether you raise chickens, goats, or cattle, the right shelter is essential for protecting your animals from the elements, predators, and stress. With fall in full swing and winter fast approaching, now is the perfect time to build a new animal shelter, chicken coop, or barn to keep your animals safe and comfortable.
Protect Your Animals from Harsh Weather
With winter approaching, it's essential to have proper shelters in place for your farm animals. Shelters like chicken coops, barns, or goat sheds offer protection from snow, rain, wind, and extreme cold. Whether it's a cozy shed for your chickens or a sturdy steel structure for larger animals, you'll keep your livestock safe from the elements, ensuring their well-being and comfort.
Safety from Predators
Predators like coyotes, foxes, and even birds of prey can pose serious threats to your animals. A well-built animal shelter or coop can act as a secure haven, keeping predators at bay. Investing in a new shelter now means safeguarding your animals before the season’s predatory activity ramps up.
Reduce Animal Stress and Increase Productivity
When animals have access to safe, comfortable shelters, their stress levels decrease, which can lead to higher productivity. Chickens lay more eggs, cows and goats produce more milk, and overall animal health improves. Shelters provide your animals with a secure environment where they can thrive without worrying about external threats.
Tailored to the Unique Needs of Your Animals
Different animals require specific types of shelters. For instance, chickens need well-ventilated coops with roosting poles and nesting boxes, while goats may prefer spacious areas for climbing and exploring. Now is the perfect time to evaluate your animals' needs and design a shelter that fits their requirements perfectly, whether it’s a compact coop or a large steel barn from Sundance Structures.
Cost-Efficiency and Long-Term Durability
Building an animal shelter now can save you money in the long run. Our steel structures, for example, offer unmatched durability and require minimal maintenance, ensuring your investment pays off for years to come. With the unpredictable weather and potential hazards farm animals face, it’s wise to invest in a long-lasting solution that protects both your livestock and your wallet.
