Barn World now offers electric fence webs and netting for poultry, goats and sheep. Installing an electric fence can be a very effective way to control livestock and help preserve your fencing.
Webs are superior for smaller animals over standard wire or poly tape. The animals cannot put their heads through the webbing in the way they can with a standard fence and are much less likely to be shocked. The netting is also excellent for keeping predators away from your livestock.
The Electro-Web netting is excellent for deterring such predators as dogs, coyotes and raccoons. They come in your choice of 33 or 42 inches tall and in white, green or orange. The 42 inch webs are tall enough for goats, horses, cows or llamas.

The web is one of the mots effective forms of behavior control for your livestock. It creates a natural reaction from the surprise and ‘shock’ (no pun intended) that makes for a lasting negative impression when coming close to the fence. The web design creates a complete barrier that provides protection to anything behind it.
It doesn’t matter how strong or ‘bull-headed’ your most ornery creature is, it will respect the netting after coming into contact with it. It won’t harm your animal but will keep them away from what you’re protecting with respect.
Additional items you available to complete your system include a fence charger and a grounding rod.

A relaxed and warm home is what the majority of the family daydream of having. Comfort is the main concern for lots of homeowners throughout all kinds of seasons, be it cold or hot. When the season of winter arrives, getting the correct warmth for the family is of greatest significance and now the question is how one can get this. The answer to this question is employing a Radiant floor heating system.
These days, Radiant Floor Heating is a popular and economical method of providing heating for large areas in not only homes but workshops, basements, and garages as well. Home heating systems that employ radiant are heat available in different types – wall heating systems, overhead panels or radiant ceiling, overhead gas-fired radiant heaters, and under-floor heating systems. Among these four, the wall heating system and under-floor heating system are the most common and are being used by several families.
The under-floor heating systems come in two styles and can be either hydronic or electric. This means they are capable to generate heat by making use of hot water or electricity. This kind of heating method mostly engages the setting up of pipes or electric temperature elements underside the ground part of the concrete chunk. In this case, the floor works as a radiator of warm up in the whole house.
Heated Floor Choices
There are at least two choices when selecting the kind of electric radiant floor heating system. If the home is recently constructed, the installation of electrical heating wires can be done earlier than the concrete is poured. In the homes which are already constructed and existing, there are very slight electric heating mats accessible in the market which can be entrenched in thin gypsum or cement devoid of the requirement to augment the height of the floor. According to price, the electric radiant heating system could be costly. It is just when thermal accumulation or the accessibility of time of use charges that this can be measured as price effectual.
Another kind of radiant heat floor heating is the hydro or liquid-based system. As its name describes, it utilizes hot water to produce heat. In a hydronic heating system, pipes or tubes are buried underneath the ground and it is at this point wherever hot water is dispersed to supply heat to the home. A container for boiling water is dependable for water heating and it can be operated by electricity or by employing any other fuel. Power sources that could be utilized with a hydronic heating system comprise the typical solar water heaters wood-fired boilers, gas-fired boilers, or a combination of sources.
Benefits of employing Radiant Floor Heating System
There are many advantages of making use of the radiant floor heating system:
It supplies a reliable level of warmth, just like the temporal blanket, and is very simple to cope with.
There is no noise released due to the nonexistence of a fan.
The Radiant Floor Heating system does not produce allergens or dust that are responsible for allergies to inhabitants dwelling in the house.
It is just because no breeze flows indoors from the vents. What comes about in its place is convection or the ordinary flow of heat as a hot breeze goes up from the ground.
Radiant Floor heating is not difficult but does need definite mechanisms. It needs heating resources which could be gas, propane, solar, electricity, wood, oil, or other heating resources.
The Radiant Floor System is accomplished to consistently allocate heat all through the room from the ground.
Heating is the same and muted all through the surface without any issue whatever the floor covering is.
One evident problem is that power is quite costly. To save electrical energy, it is usually more competent to set up the radiant floor system. The great part of this Radiant Floor Heating system is its power competence. In comparison to an enforced air system, this structure uses less power which reduces the energy cost from 10 to 30 percent which interprets to lesser electricity bills for one’s family. If one dwells in regions close to the energy grid or where the power rates are far above the ground, this can be a key benefit.
It is essential that an owner of a home chooses an appropriate installer and must make a decision to set up a Radiant Floor heating system. The installation process can be labor intensive and a qualified contractor should be used.

Barn World offers a complete line of cattle guards engineered for public roadway projects. The HS20 rating is the required by Department of Transportation Authorities and is a 16-ton per axle engineered rating.
They are made in either round or ‘flat’ steel top rails and are available in a variety of sizes. The longest single-span cattle guard is the round top rail 20′ design. while the flat top rail is available in a 14′ length. The guards may be bolted end-to-end for projects that require an even longer distance across a roadway. This method is a simple means of providing wider access for crossing vehicles.
Some crossings require more ‘depth’, or distance in the direction of travel. The standard is 6′ or 8′ but the grids may be set side-by-side to increase the distance. This is useful when creating a barrier for more athletic animals such as deer. The added distance provides a deterrent to them jumping the crossing.

Round Top Rail Cattle GuardFlat Top Rail Cattle Guard
The HS20 Rating
The rating is an engineered certification that the design will provide support to vehicles with 16 tons on each axle with an additional safety factor built in. It’s required for all Department of Transportation projects and the designation is called out for by the AASHTO (The American Association of State Highway Transportation Officials). The rated cattle guards are certified for public works and roadway projects that adhere to the following load ratings.
Rating Designations
H-15 (12 tons per axle) H-20 (16 tons per axle) U-54 (25 tons per axle) U-80 (30 tons per axle)
These engineered designs call out the details for not only the materials used, but also specify how they are to be built.
The cattle crossings are also available with optional cattle guard foundations and wings if needed.
Cattle Guard Foundations
The foundations ship pre-cast and can be set directly in the ground upon delivery. They include j-bolts already set in the concrete that line up with the guard mounting holes. This allows the guard to be directly bolted and secured without the need for drilling holes in the field.
Cattle Guard Wings
The wings are available on both designs (round and flat top rail) and connect the fence line directly to the ends of the crossing. They prevent livestock from stepping around a single-end post where the fence terminates. This simple, triangular addition completes the transition from the vertical fencing to the horizontal, in-ground barrier.
At Barn World, we’re more than happy to help with your project from the planning and quoting stages all the way through delivery.
Please let us know if we can help with installation and if you’d just like a quote with shipping, please don’t hesitate to ask. We’re happy to help!

Cattle guards are designed to keep livestock from crossing through your fence lines while allowing traffic-free access without stopping. The spacing of the top rails creates unstable footing and prevents cows from walking on them. These top rails are available in round and flat top designs for different types of traffic and crossing speeds.
Please note that we do not recommend using these devices with horses. They have more slender hooves and legs which increases the risk of one sliding through. Once through the top rails, the leg is exposed to breaking if a struggle to get out ensures. It’s best to use a standard gate with horses.
We do have Concrete Cattle Guard Forms that have a ‘bottom’ between the uprights. This prevents a slender hoof from sliding through and between steel rails. The forms are more economical to ship than traditional steel designs, can be poured on-site, and are reusable. You can make as many concrete cattle crossings as you need.
Concrete Cattle Guard
If you have dogs that you want to contain, you should use a gate. Dogs have soft pads for feet and can walk across the top rails with no problem at all. Goats and sheep are also animals that require a gate to keep them going through your opening. Even though they both have hooves, they are very good at balancing and can tip-toe across the rails.
To be effective with deer, extra depth (the distance in the direction of travel) must be increased so these athletic animals don’t just jump across. This requires two cattle grids bolted together, side-by-side to create a distance of 12 to 14 feet at a minimum. You’ll also need to make sure the fencing around your property is high enough to prevent them from jumping over at more remote areas.
Another often overlooked part of the livestock barrier installation is the transition from the fence line to the guard itself. If the fencing is simply terminated at a post set in the middle of the guard, cows will be able to just step around the post and avoid the grid altogether.
The wings take the vertical fencing barrier and transition it to the horizontal barrier in the ground. They prevent animals from stepping around the end post and spread the fencing to each end of the guard.

Every long-lasting building requires a solid foundation and a cattle guard installation is no different. It carries heavy loads with shifting weights and it’s extremely important that it’s installed on a proper foundation correctly.
We strongly recommend that a contractor familiar with the local site conditions be used for a proper installation. Typical site considerations include frost levels, drainage, type of soil, and even local building codes. All of these factors are important to take into account for a long-lasting trouble-free cattle guard crossing.
Generic Foundation Diagram
Excavation of the Vaulted Area
The vaulted, or dug-out area beneath the grid is key to providing the often overlooked optical barrier that dissuades livestock from even touching the top rails. Allowing the animal to view the bottom of the excavated area provides a conflicting depth perception created by the contrast with the top rail. This optical confusion (near and far at the same time) can be an effective visual deterrent all on its own.
Painted Guards
Studies have shown the illusion of a three-dimensional grate when painted across a roadway. and sometimes be effective at preventing crossing by itself. In the studies, cows were introduced to the fake barrier and almost all of them refused to cross initially. The trouble with the painted illusion was when one did eventually work up the courage to test the perceived barrier, it was able to walk over it without trouble. This then gave courage to the remaining livestock and they also soon followed.
The vaulted area is created by removing soil under the top rails to create a visual deterrent and allow debris to fall through. We typically recommend at least 6″ be dug below the bottom support beams as shown in the diagram. With a 12″ overall height, a depth of 18″ from the top rail to the bottom of the vault will be presented to the livestock. You may go deeper if desired, the important issue is that the foundations themselves are properly supported.
The vault also helps prevent debris from collecting between rails. If the vacant area beneath wasn’t there, dirt and debris would fill the area between the top rails, and the barrier would lose its effectiveness and become a livestock walkable bridge.
To help with drainage, the bottom of the vault should include a means of allowing water to drain away from the installation without disturbing the surrounding footings. Typically crushed gravel is used to create a french drain. Because every site is unique, a contractor familiar with the local conditions should be consulted.
The concrete is designed to fit pre-drilled holes in the guard so they can be bolted down upon arrival. Quick, easy, and convenient, they’re becoming a more popular option for sites that don’t want to pour their own.
Surface Installation with a Boxed Cattle Guard
Boxed cattle guards are set directly on the ground and are designed for low traffic, remote and temporary installations. The box is a steel skirt welded to the perimeter to keep dirt from getting in underneath. Dirt is pushed up on either side of the guard to create a ramp for crossing vehicles.
This design is popular in remote areas like cell phone towers and oil wells. They’re also used at construction site entrances as rumble strips, washouts for cleaning equipment, and keeping the entrance clear of mud.
Although they lay directly on the ground, site preparation and proper drainage are a must. A bed of crushed gravel can go a long way to removing excess water and keep if from eroding your cattle crossing.
Site Specific
Foundations are critical to keeping your livestock barrier in place and working effectively. They secure the guard from moving and transfer the passing load to the ground. The above recommendations should be considered and a local contractor consulted for a long-lasting installation.
