Olympia Steel Buildings Metal Freestall Dairy Barns Features

Olympia Steel Buildings Metal Freestall Dairy Barns Features

• Olympia freestall metal dairy barn steel buildings  are well lit and ventilated with an open ridge 4:12 roof pitch and choice of sidewall heights. A roof pitch that is too low may cause warm moist air to become trapped against the cold roof surfaces and condensation occurs in the metal buildings. A pre-engineered steel buildings roof pitch that is too steep may cause fresh air to be poorly distributed at cow level in the building during cold weather. High, open sidewalls increase airflow in the steel building for summer cooling. The sidewall height should also allow for the clearance of any machinery that may be used in the metal barn.
• Olympia metal freestall dairy barn steel buildings have an open ridge ventilation system with positive ventilation. In winter, wind blowing across an open ridge creates a suction that draws warm, humid air out of the steel building. At the same time, fresh, dry, cool air is drawn into the building through the metal buildings sidewall openings. Only minimal amounts of rain and snow will enter a properly sized open ridge when the freestall barn steel building is fully populated.
• Olympia Dairy Facility steel building systems provide no opportunity for birds to roost. Roosting or perching birds foul building parts, feed and animals with bird droppings. Birds also destroy insulation by pecking and burrowing into the material.
• Olympia diary barn steel buildings innovative sidewall curtain system can be adjusted for changing weather conditions and completely opened to increase air flow in steel buildings during hot weather. These curtains, placed above cow level, can be easily adjusted or rolled up completely.
• Minimum insulation (R = 2) under the metal roof sheeting reduces solar heat loading on hot, sunny days.
• Specially designed over-hang fits the metal buildings opening for better ventilation and minimizes the entry of sun, snow, and rain into the building through open sidewalls. The buildings overhang also protects the rolled up curtains, keeps snow that slides from the metal building roof farther from the metal barn, and provides an over hang for the walk way along the freestall barn steel building to the cattle loading area.
