Custom Commercial Shade For Agriculture

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!

Shade Canopies Can Reduce Health Risks Of Sun Exposure

Protection From UV Rays With Shade Canopies From Austin Custom Shade.

As spring is here, and summer is around the corner, we all are spending more and more time outdoors. There are many health concerns with extended or prolonged exposure to the sun. Even on overcast days the ozone layer depletion decreases our atmosphere’s natural protection from the sun’s harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays. Austin Custom Shades builds shade canopies to protect you, your children, friends, employees, and students.

Sun related health issues include: skin cancer (one in five Americans will develop skin cancer in their lifetime) ,Melanoma (the most serious form of skin cancer), basal cell carcinomas (the most common type of skin cancer tumors), squamous cell carcinomas(tumors that may appear as nodules or as red, scaly patches), and other UV-related skin disorders include actinic keratoses and premature aging of the skin. Research has shown that UV radiation increases the likelihood of certain cataracts. Scientists have also found that overexposure to UV radiation may suppress proper functioning of the body’s immune system and the skin’s natural defenses.

Protection from exposure by use of commercial shade canopies at playgrounds, benches, picnic tables, parking areas, and swimming pools can greatly reduce risks of these health issues. We at Austin Custom Shades have over eighteen years experience building shade canopies for commercial applications. We have lots of design options for each of our custom shade canopies.
