Standard Tent
The frame is made with hot dipped galvanised skids and painted steel uprights, painted upper frame, joiners and brackets with galvanized purlins. It slots together and is easy to assemble. It can be taken down without undoing any bolts.
Weaner Tents come with steel frame, plastic clad 10’0” x 4’0” hurdles which run along the sides of the tent. These are easy to use, strong and can be power washed down.
Tents can be used with or without a hurdle run.
The tarpaulin roof covers are reinforced in both directions and all tarp material is double layered where it touches the tubular frame and triple layered at stress points. They are also UV resistant, anti-bacterial and available in either green or white.
In order to create a product tailored to your individual needs we provide variations on our standard equipment. These options are detailed below.

Plastic Feed Hoppers
Black Plastic Feed Hoppers are put inside of the tent along the back, attached to an adjustable height feeder hurdle. The Feeder height is easily adjustable by moving the supplied anti-luce latches up or down in the slots. Additional feed space can be gained by fitting Feeders to the side Hurdles near the rear of the Tent.
