There are many kinds of insecticides on the market that can be applied as space sprays inside closed barns. Most available products for this use contain active ingredients that are botanical pyrethrins or pyrethroids. These chemicals kill the adult flies that are exposed directly to the spray. In general, these chemicals can be used safely inside horse barns, because they are relatively non-toxic to animals and people, and their active ingredients break down rapidly.

Testing of Barricade on hay bales has shown that the hay is protected from burning. The Barricade-water mixture provides an outer coating and does not penetrate beyond that coating. Thus, instead of completely soaking the hay with water, as in traditional firefighting, only the outer portion is affected. Loss of hay to water damage would be greatly reduced.

Hay fever” was named because of nasal symptoms developing during hay season, but most nasal allergies are called “hay fever.” “Hay fever” occurs most frequently during the spring, summer or fall when trees, grasses and weeds produce pollen.

Answer: There should, at all times, be good ventilation. The average horse respirates about two gallons of moisture into the air each day. Naturally, there will be condensation from the difference between indoor and outdoor temperatures. If you do not have good ventilation, moisture will collect on the roof and create a damp environment. This dampness contributes to respiratory ailments and bacterial and fungal growth.

It is not uncommon that we have cats available that are classified as "permanently feral" and will likely never adapt to an indoor-home situation. For these cats, we seek out what we call "barn homes", that is, an indoor/outdoor environment that provides the cat with food and warm shelter. All barn cats are spayed/neutered, so you don't have to worry about population issues. If you are interested in providing a barn home for one or more feral cats, please contact the shelter.

A Raised Barn is a farm shed used predominately for the housing of horses in a stable set-up. The internal framework is Rectangular Hollow Section (RHS) and Square Hollow Section (SHS) which alleviates any open flanges and sharp metal edges. This is obviously important where animals are present. The raised section of the barn is supported by internal columns spaced at 3.6m intervals to allow sufficient room for fixing of a horse stable. A Raised Barn is not just for animals however.

A community event for the Amish, entire families pitch in to help. Men and boys of all ages take part in the work and sheer numbers compensate for the lack of modern equipment.

The bulk of the work is completed in one day.

A modular barn is a building that is designed in modules. These modules allow maximum flexibility in building design and construction. Modular concepts also lower building costs.
