Construction of pigsties from profiled sheet metal and sandwich panels

In pig farming, the quality of animal housing is of key importance. The design of the pigsty affects not only the comfort of the pigs, but also their productivity, sanitary conditions, and the convenience of the staff. That is why farmers are increasingly choosing to build pigsties from profiled sheet metal and sandwich panels — materials that combine strength, durability, and energy efficiency.

Why profiled sheet metal is ideal for building pigsties

1

Metal profiles have become a universal material in agriculture. PK-20, NS-35, H-44 or H-57 profiles are used for roofing piggeries – they withstand wind and snow loads well. The walls are most often constructed from C-8, C-10 or NS-20 profiled sheets, which give the structure rigidity and resistance to mechanical stress.
Corrosion protection is particularly important. Since the humidity and ammonia content in the air in piggeries is quite high, the metal must have a reliable coating. A galvanisation standard of 225 g/m² is considered optimal – it extends the service life of structures and protects them even in difficult operating conditions. It is also standard practice to use modern types of coatings such as aluzinc, zinc-aluminium-magnesium, PVDF, HPS 200 and others.

The role of sandwich panels in the microclimate of pigsties

One of the main tasks in pig farming is maintaining a stable temperature and controlling humidity. Sandwich panels, which combine metal cladding and insulation, are used for this purpose. They retain heat in winter, prevent overheating in summer and help reduce heating and ventilation costs. These panels are easy to install, and their smooth surface makes them easy to clean and disinfect, which meets veterinary requirements. These products are also manufactured using special coatings that are resistant to vapours, aggressive environments, humidity and chemical cleaning, which ensures safety and guarantees long-term service life.

Advantages of building pigsties from these materials

  • Optimal conditions for poultry – insulation and airtightness ensure a stable microclimate.
  • Hygienic – surfaces do not absorb odours and are easy to clean.
  • Quick construction – buildings can be constructed in a short period of time, which is important for farmers who plan to expand production quickly.
  • Long service life – profiled sheets and sandwich panels can withstand decades of use without significant loss of quality.
  • Cost-effectiveness – construction is cheaper than with traditional materials, and animal maintenance costs are reduced thanks to energy efficiency.

Piggeries made of profiled sheet metal and sandwich panels are an example of a modern solution for the agricultural business. These structures combine technological efficiency, durability and compliance with veterinary standards. They help farmers to provide proper conditions for keeping pigs, optimise production processes and make pig farming more profitable and competitive.
