Truss Barn

The Truss Barn.

The barn featured is a Winkler Structures 60 x 200 Truss Barn. It is installed on a 10ft pony wall with roll up curtains on both sides. It is used for loose housing dairy cattle.
This particular dairy barn is in Manitoba, Canada. It is located not to many miles from the Winkler Structures factory. www.winklercanvasbldg.com

We hope to have more data collected from the farm as to increased milk production, and somatic cell.





The trusses vary in diameter of pipe and depth of truss depending on the width of the building. Winkler structures / Winkler Canvas manufactures all their own trusses, and tarps. This gives them hands on control of their quality and design.
Winkler structure has seen the increase popularity for the truss arch buildings in the dairy barn, and the beef cattle barns over the past couple of years. They are also commonly called hoop barns, or fabric covered barns.

Check back for updates.

Cattle, Beef, Dairy, Hogs, Horse Barns





Hoop Barns, also known as Truss arch barns, Fabric covered barns are becoming more popular all the time. They are ecenomical, and have great natural light qualities you just cannot get from a Steel clad, or wood building. They are airy and offer great ventilation options. www.winklercanvasbldg.com

The beef cattle and the Dairy cattle housing barns are the lattest industries moving forward with the fabric covered buildings. They see the benifits, and results they are looking for.


Remember NOT all buildings are the same. Do your homework, and ask a lot of questions as to amount of steel used, after sale service available, and warranties. The lowest price usually isn't the best deal. Winkler Structures offers up to 30% more steel in the truss buildings than some of their competition. Winkler is not usually the lowest price, but you will get what you paid for.
