Collinson-Smith - Feedpad Cover

BUILDING DETAILS

Size: 59.7m L x 14.5m D x 4.5m-5.77m

Style: Monoslope

System: Futura Box-Beam Rafters on Timber Pole Columns

Overview

When Bruce and Carol Collinson-Smith needed a feedpad cover for their Waikato property, they turned to Aztech. The result: a 59.7m monoslope structure built on the Futura Box-Beam system, giving full clearspan coverage across the length of the pad.

Built for Herd Comfort and Farm Resilience

The open-bay monoslope design gives Bruce and Carol full-length, unobstructed access for feeding and stock movement, with no internal columns thanks to the Futura Box-Beam system. A 5-degree pitch and full-length box gutter manage runoff efficiently across the 865m² covered area.

Feedpad covers like this one are a key part of dairy infrastructure, helping farmers manage feed utilisation, pasture protection and herd comfort through the wetter months.
