Custom Commercial Shade For Agriculture

post date April 14, 2012

Custom Commercial Shade For Livestock

Agricultural uses for custom shade solutions is as extensive as every other use we’ve looked at. From protecting equipment to providing shade for livestock. If you have a farm or ranch, the ill effects of over exposure to heat and the sun are well known you you. Take into account the humidity and heat index and research has shown the shade requirements for everything from chickens to cattle.

Let’s start off looking at equipment. In Farmers Weekly, tractor guide: New prices for 20009, new tractors start off around $16,000 and shot all the way to $270,000. Leaving an investment like that in the sun and rain would reduce it’s value and lifespan. A custom shade designed specifically for your application to protect your investment is simply a wise choice.

But protecting equipment is not the only agricultural use. Livestock require shade in the summer heat to survive. In research from a Kansas State University publication, with no relative humidity, cows start showing mild stress at 88 deg. F., and at 100 deg. f., with a relative humidity of 20%, cows get heat stress, and severe stress can occur  in as low as 99 deg. Agricultural experts state: the simplest way to increase productivity in cattle which are feeding or producing, is by providing shade, And Austin Custom Shades can provide a custom shade solution. Cattle reduce their feeding in the hot sun. In Texas you see livestock resting in a group under available shade on a hot summer day.

Cows, horses, goats, chickens, or turkeys, a custom commercial shade can improve the health , productivity, profitability, and longevity of your livestock. Call us at (512) 271-9870 or email, or send us a message today. We’ll have you (and your cows) covered in no time!

5 Patio Shade Canopy Options

post date November 23, 2011

A patio shade canopy is a valuable addition in the height of summer by helping to keep you cool and reducing the glare from the sun. The following will take a closer look at five popular varieties of patio shade canopies.

Umbrellas

The most basic of all patio shades are umbrellas. These can be as large as a ten foot patio umbrella or as small and delicate as a parasol. They can be free standing on a tripod base, set in a socket in the patio floor, or held up by a patio table.

Retractable Patio Canopies

Canopies that can be wound onto a roller are very popular. These canopies give a wider range of shade than an umbrella and do not need to be fully extended. The roller is controlled by a worm screw that operates upon a toothed gear wheel connected to the roller core. A handle is used to turn the worm screw and the canopy extends or retracts. Because the roller is wall mounted and the canopy requires no support, retractable canopies do not take up any valuable patio space.

Draw String Canopies

Draw string canopies (often referred to as toldos) are built onto frames over the patio. The frame does not take up any patio space and is usually made of angle iron or metal tubing. The canopy is suspended from steel wires stretched the length of the frame and is fitted with a draw string. The draw string is threaded through pulleys and can pull the awning along the wires to open it or close it. For a wide patio, there can be two awnings each with their own draw string so that they can operate independently.

Venetian or Persian Curtains

Venetian or Persian curtains are made up of strips of stiff material or plastic. They work in a very similar manner to venetian blinds. The strips can be raised out of the way so that they block the minimum amount of light. An advantage of Persian curtains is that they do not have to be joined at the bottom so people can have free access through the curtain, even if it covers a door.

Mobile Screens

Concertina screens made up of three or five panels are excellent for giving shade in particular areas. The concertina design means that they can be opened as wide or as little as required. The screens can be quite elaborate or made of simple rattan woven panels. An advantage of the screens is that they’re very light. Unfortunately, this lightness is also a disadvantage because it does not take much of an impact or breeze to make them fall over.
