Agriculture and horticulture

The agricultural industry has a heightened risk of corrosion, due to the prevalence of chemicals and exposure to bad weather conditions. Hot dip galvanizing protects agricultural steel from corrosion, saving you time and money maintaining large steel fabrications such as steel frame buildings, animal pens, and gates.

The days of regularly maintaining large agricultural steel can be a thing of the past when you opt for a low maintenance, long-lasting corrosion protection method.

With the widest and deepest galvanizing baths in the UK, even the biggest agricultural steel fabrications can be hot dip galvanized. And with our collection and delivery service, we collect your steel from your premises and return it back to you, saving you time.

Galvanized steel is safe for animals, making it a popular choice for animal pens and enclosures. Galvanizing also protects steel from corrosion, so your livestock are protected against rust exposure that can quickly build up.

Galvanized steel also has an easy to clean surface, keeping pens hygienic.

Case study: Folly Farm

Folly Farm welcomed two very rare black rhinos to its family of animals, but needed a bespoke indoor facility that could separate and home the solitary animals.

A building โ€“ now called the Kifaru Reserve โ€“ was constructed, providing durable corrosion resistance for the enclosures of these magnificent creatures.

Hot dip galvanizing can also be used on smaller steel items, such as farm equipment, penstock equipment and appliances.

Case study: Pig lift for Gandalf and friends

Galvanized pig lift for Beneath the Wood Sanctuary

We galvanized a pig lift free of charge for Beneath the Wood Sanctuary after they rescued 53 pigs from horrifying conditions at an illegal slaughterhouse in Pembrokeshire. Designeering, designer and fabricator of the innovative pig lift, created the lift for the sanctuary so their overgrown hooves could have a much-needed trim.

Pigs really can fly after all!
