Among the many building and construction stands at this year’s ploughing championships, one particular structure caught our eye.
The French-produced Shelterall is a modular metal-textile construction which offers both temporary and permanent shelter solutions.
The structure is produced by the European greenhouse manufacturer Richel Group and uses include the housing of bales, machinery, grain, feed or livestock.
A large Shelterall structure providing cover for up to 28 round bales per 1.25m of length.
Leitrim-based Newtowngore Engineering are Irish distributors and we caught up with director Anthony Mimna at the Ploughing to discuss the Shelterall shelters.
“Interest has been steady and we have a number of structures constructed around the country,” Anthony explains on stand.
Stucture
Mr Mimna explained that the shelter can be built on top of soil up to a width of 12m without foundation and up to 25m on a concrete base. The shelter can be dismantled and moved multiple times.
The French-produced Shelterall uses a flexible durable cover on a steel anchor frame which is fixed in the ground.
The galvanised steel frame consists of weld-free cross assembly joints, clips to attach the tarpaulin and truss arches, which span the width of the structure.
The Shelterall uses a semi-circular frame to carry its durable cover.
The PVC-coated tarpaulin with built-in insulating material benefits from a 10-year warranty, but is stated to have a lifespan of 20 years. Customers should check with local planning authorities before erecting the structure.
The cover on the Shelterall units use a skirt or apron at the bottom to force water away from the base.
Cost
Starting price for the popular 8.5m by 10.5m is €4,500 plus VAT, whereas larger structures such as the 10m by 50m start from €20,000 plus VAT.
