Stainless Steel Posts for Pig Barn Penning Systems
No two livestock facilities are laid out exactly alike, with elements like building dimensions, pen configurations, feeding systems, walkways, gates, and existing structures all influencing how replacement components must be fabricated. Even within similar operations, the dimensions, material requirements, and layouts can vary from one barn to the next.
These stainless steel posts were fabricated specifically to support constantly evolving agricultural operations, providing structural support within the existing penning system while using a material suited to on-farm conditions.
Material Selection Depends on the Environment
The same fabricated component may be built from different materials depending on where it will be used.
For this project, stainless steel was selected because it suited the operating conditions of the barn and the operations and maintenance practices already in place. The goal wasn't just to fabricate a replacement part, but to manufacture one that was appropriate for the environment it would be used in.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Older barns often contain additions and alterations made over many years. Dimensions that appear consistent on paper may differ slightly in the field, and replacement components frequently need to accommodate those existing conditions rather than assuming everything matches the original installation.
-
Not necessarily. Existing components, site measurements, photographs, or a combination of all three are often used, particularly when fabricating replacement parts for facilities that have been modified over many years.
