Each stage of pig farming requires a different building design — we engineer each type to match your production needs
Gestation Crate
Designed for pregnant sows with individual stall layouts. Controls feed intake precisely, prevents aggression, and ensures safe gestation throughout the full pregnancy cycle.
Farrowing Crate
Built for sow birthing and piglet nursing. Equipped with heated creep areas to reduce piglet mortality and improve weaning survival rates for higher production yields.
Nursery House
A dedicated transition house for weaned piglets. Focused on temperature control and disease isolation to help piglets adapt to independent feeding and minimize stress losses.
Finishing House
Large clear-span space with no interior columns for flexible pen layouts. High-efficiency ventilation promotes rapid weight gain and shortens the time to market weight.
A Pig Shed Is a High-Moisture, High-Corrosion, High-Cleaning Building
Pig farms require completely different building logic than chicken houses or cow sheds
| Critical Factor | Pig Shed Requirements | Other Farm Buildings |
|---|---|---|
| Moisture Levels | Extremely High – Daily washing, urine, humidity | Medium to Low |
| Cleaning Frequency | Daily/High Frequency – High-pressure washing required | Low – Periodic maintenance |
| Corrosion Risk | Extreme – Ammonia + moisture accelerates degradation | Medium – Standard protection |
| Ventilation Needs | Continuous & Controlled – Heat and air quality management | Relatively Flexible |
| Design Failure Impact | Disease, Loss, Rework – Operations unsustainable | Manageable with adjustments |
Types of Pig Sheds
Choose the right structural type based on your climate, farming scale, and biosecurity requirements
Open-Type Pig Shed
Open-sided pig shed with curtain sidewalls or roll-up panels. Relies on natural airflow for ventilation and temperature control. Best suited for tropical and subtropical climates where passive cooling is sufficient year-round.
- Natural ventilation reduces heat stress without mechanical systems
- Lower construction and operating costs
- Adjustable sidewall curtains for seasonal climate control
- Ideal for warm-climate regions: Southeast Asia, Africa, South America
Enclosed-Type Pig Shed
Fully insulated and sealed pig shed with mechanical ventilation — negative pressure fans, evaporative cooling pads, and controlled airflow. Provides precise environmental management for high-density commercial operations.
- Full climate control: year-round consistent temperature and humidity
- Superior biosecurity — reduces disease entry risk significantly
- Higher feed conversion ratio (FCR) due to stable environment
- Suitable for large-scale commercial farms and cold climates
Important Considerations for Pig Shed
We design airflow pathways, not just install equipment—tailored for your climate
Ventilation design
Ridge vents and sidewall openings create continuous airflow that naturally removes heat and humidity, reducing costs while maintaining optimal livestock conditions.
Corrosion-resistant design
Optional negative pressure systems and exhaust fans provide precise climate control during extreme conditions, protecting your livestock year-round.
Insulation design
Whether tropical humidity, dry heat, or high-moisture regions, we design for your specific climate to ensure livestock comfort and minimize disease risk.

What Pig Farm Owners Say About Their Projects
Real results from commercial pig farming operations
"After two summers, the ventilation system keeps temperatures 5-8°C lower than our old sheds. Pig growth rates improved by 12% and we've reduced heat stress losses significantly."
"The anti-corrosion treatment was worth it. Three years of daily washing and no rust issues. Our previous shed lasted only 18 months before structural problems appeared."
"We expanded twice using their pre-engineered connection system. Each time took only 3 weeks with no disruption to existing operations. Smart investment planning."
