Operating methods & features
Ventilation
- Ventilation is created by a combination of inlets/ outlets allowing clean air to be drawn into the
building and dirty air to be exhausted.
A 50mm wide baffled side vent runs the length of the building (on both sides), sited between the top of the
polyboard and the base of the roof sheet. A hinged ridge vent in the roof is operated by a cranked handle
and can be opened and closed to increase/ decrease ventilation (shown below). Both personnel doors have
a moveable ventilation panel fitted, this panel can be moved up and down to increase/ decrease ventilation.
Precautions in use
Fabric roof sheet -
The fabric roof sheet is robust and resilient. However, it can be punctured if struck with
heavy or sharp objects. Ensure to take care when moving the building or lifting materials within or around the
structure.
Framework -
The steel framework is made from structural grade material designed to support the structure
and canopy during ‘normal’ operations detailed in this manual. If the steel structure becomes damaged in
any way this can compromise the structural integrity. Care should be taken when towing the structure and
when vehicles and machinery are operating in close proximity to the building.
Skids -
Skids should be checked before and after every towing procedure. Ensure the bottom surface has
not been excessively worn or damaged. Inspect for fractures and bending in high-stress areas, especially
where the tow bar is attached to the skids and skids are joined.
Cleaning -
A standard cleaning procedure is to jet-wash the entire interior of the building thoroughly after
each moving cycle to eliminate chicken waste and additional grime that may have manifested. All surfaces
can be cleaned with water and a suitable detergent, no adsorbent materials are used in the construction of
the building so water can be used liberally without causing damage. Bird waste can build up on the skids,
this should be broken off or washed away wherever possible.
Hinged popholes and personnel doors -
Check regularly that the closures fasten securely and hinges
pivot correctly with the full range of movement expected. Keep handles clean and operational for frequent
use.
Moving the building -
Before attempting to move the building it is prudent to check the weather forecast
for strong wind speeds. During the moving procedure the building will not be anchored to the ground, the
building should not be moved in winds greater than 20mph.
