About this service

Frames that earn their keep on the farm.

Farm buildings ask a lot of a steel frame: wide clear spans for machinery and livestock, durability against a harsh rural environment, and a structure that goes up on a working farm with minimal fuss. We design, fabricate and install the portal frames and secondary steel for agricultural buildings, from general-purpose sheds and grain stores to livestock and equestrian buildings, all to BS EN 1090 Execution Class 2 and erected by our own teams. The steel is fabricated to your engineer's design and built to stand up to farm use.

What we make

Steel for buildings that work the land.

General-purpose, grain-store, livestock and equestrian frames, installed by our own teams.

01

General-purpose farm buildings

Clear-span portal frames for machinery stores, workshops and multi-use farm buildings.

02

Grain and crop stores

Steel frames for grain stores and crop storage, with the spans and heights the store needs.

03

Livestock and equestrian buildings

Frames for cattle, sheep and equestrian buildings, with clear interior spans for stock and handling.

04

Why UIS

Steel frames built for the farm and the weather.

Agricultural steel earns its keep for decades in a hard environment, so the frame and its protection have to be right. We fabricate the portal frames and secondary steel to BS EN 1090 Execution Class 2, finished to suit the rural setting, and install with our own teams around the working life of the farm.
