Description
Our steel structure cow sheds are designed to provide farmers with a durable, weather-resistant, and cost-effective solution for dairy and cattle housing. With a strong steel frame and high-quality roofing materials, these sheds protect cattle from rain, wind, and extreme temperatures, creating a safe and comfortable environment that improves animal welfare and productivity.
Compared to traditional brick or wood buildings, steel cow sheds are faster to construct, longer-lasting, and easier to maintain. The modular design also allows flexible layouts, making them suitable for dairy cows, beef cattle, or mixed farming operations.
Built with a hot-dip galvanized steel frame (Q235B / Q355B / equivalent), the structure resists rust, corrosion, and animal impact — ensuring a service life of 20+ years even in high-humidity or dusty environments. The open-side design promotes natural cross-ventilation, reducing heat stress and improving air quality without mechanical systems.
All components are factory pre-cut, pre-drilled, and numbered for bolted on-site assembly — no welding required. Installation is typically 50% faster than traditional barns, reducing labor costs and enabling rapid deployment for seasonal or emergency use.

Design Services
Every farm has unique requirements. Our engineering team provides customized design services to ensure the cow shed fits your herd size, land conditions, and local climate.
Available design options include:
Open or semi-open sidewalls for natural ventilation
Insulated roofing and wall panels for temperature control
Feeding and watering system integration
Partitioned spaces for different cattle groups
Manure management solutions for easier cleaning and hygiene
With a tailored design, your cow shed will support both efficient farm management and animal comfort.
Processing & Inspection
The cow shed is manufactured with high-quality steel, processed through precision cutting, welding, and surface treatment to ensure durability and corrosion resistance.
Strict inspection procedures are applied at every stage:
Raw material quality checks
Welding strength tests
Surface coating inspections
Final dimensional accuracy review
This ensures each component meets international standards before shipment, giving you confidence in long-term performance.
Packing&Shipping
Steel components are securely packaged to prevent damage during transport. This makes shipping efficient and installation easier once the materials arrive at your farm.
We provide worldwide shipping solutions and include detailed assembly drawings and manuals. For larger projects, we can also arrange on-site installation support to ensure smooth construction.
FAQ
How long does it take to build a steel cow shed?
Assembly is quick compared to traditional construction. Most sheds can be completed in just a few weeks, depending on size.
Can the design be customized for different herd sizes?
Yes. We provide fully customizable layouts based on your cattle numbers, land size, and management style.
What is the lifespan of a steel cow shed?
With proper care, the shed can last 20 years or more, thanks to anti-corrosion coatings and durable steel frames.
Do you offer installation guidance?
Yes. We supply detailed drawings and manuals. For large-scale farms, on-site technical support can also be arranged.
Is the cow shed suitable for hot or cold climates?
Absolutely. We can integrate ventilation, insulation, and shading systems to adapt the shed to local weather conditions.
