- GHC Raised Ridge System – with this flexible system that can be set at a height determined to suit your cattle, the raised ridge system allows airflow were most buildings will accumulate warm, moist and stale air. The ‘Cap’ protects the inside from the rain whilst efficiently allowing the air to flow.
- Open Protected – With importance of airflow comes the importance of natural light which this ridge system offers. With a polycarbonate strip to minimise the driving rain, allowing natural light and potential to minimize the risk of heat stress on your cattle.
Yorkshire Boarding is the most popular with livestock buildings. Installed with a 25mm-50mm gap allowing airflow through the building. Providing important ventilation in the building to help remove heat, moisture and even bugs!
