Specialist Building Solutions for Modern Agriculture

Agricultural Fabric Roller Shutters and Windbreak Screens are designed to protect farm buildings from wind and weather while maintaining airflow, light, and ease of access.

Security Direct supplies and installs engineered fabric shutter and screen systems for livestock housing, machinery buildings, and open-sided agricultural structures, bringing industrial-grade standards to agricultural environments.
 

What Are Agricultural Fabric Roller Shutters?

Agricultural fabric roller shutters and screens use high-strength mesh or PVC fabrics that roll vertically like a traditional shutter but are specifically designed to:

  • Reduce wind chill and driving rain
  • Maintain natural ventilation
  • Improve animal comfort and working conditions
  • Cover very large openings
  • Operate manually or via automation

They are widely used where solid doors or shutters would restrict airflow or create unsuitable internal conditions.
 

Why Fabric Solutions Are Used in Agriculture

  • Fabric roller shutters and screens are particularly effective on farms because they:
  • Improve livestock welfare by reducing heat stress and cold draughts
  • Keep bedding, feed, and floors drier
  • Allow buildings to “breathe” naturally
  • Provide flexible access for machinery and vehicles
  • Withstand harsh agricultural environments

They are not security shutters and are selected for environmental control, access, and durability, not theft prevention.
