Agricultural & Farm PVC Strip Curtains UK

Agricultural buildings present some of the most demanding conditions for any door barrier system. Tractors, livestock, feed vehicles, and farm workers all need free access; the weather in the UK is often extreme; and the welfare of animals — which can be stressed by draughts, temperature fluctuations, and unfamiliar obstacles — must be paramount. Agricultural-grade PVC strip curtains are the ideal solution.

PVC Strip Curtains UK supplies heavy-duty PVC strip curtains for farms, barns, stables, poultry houses, and all types of agricultural buildings across the UK. All products are available made to measure with free delivery.

Why Use PVC Strip Curtains on Farms?

Agricultural buildings are often large, poorly insulated, and exposed to the elements. Without effective door barriers, they lose heat rapidly in winter, become infested with insects in summer, and are difficult to ventilate effectively. PVC strip curtains address all these issues while remaining practical in a working farm environment.

• Weatherproofing: Keep out wind, rain, and cold without blocking ventilation entirely
• Draught protection: Critical for livestock welfare — draughts stress animals and increase respiratory disease risk
• Fly and insect control: Reduce fly populations in buildings housing livestock or storing feed
• Tractor and vehicle access: Strips part for any vehicle and re-close automatically — no stopping to open traditional doors
• Low maintenance: Agricultural environments are tough — PVC requires no painting, no oiling, and minimal upkeep
• Cost-effective: Far cheaper than roller shutters or barn doors for wide agricultural openings

Barn Doorways

Traditional barn doors — whether hinged or sliding — are often left open because they are heavy, inconvenient, or worn-out. This leaves animals and stored produce exposed to draughts, rain, and pests. PVC strip curtains provide a practical alternative or supplement:

• Fitted inside or alongside existing barn doors — the strip curtain provides a barrier when the main door is open
• Available for wide barn openings up to 6m+ using extended hanging rail systems
• Clear PVC allows natural light through while keeping wind out
• Yellow or amber tinted options for fly deterrence

Stable Curtains

Horse stables require careful environmental management. Horses are sensitive to both cold draughts and poor ventilation — conditions that can trigger respiratory problems including Equine Asthma. PVC strip curtains provide an ideal solution for stable doorways:

• Reduce cold air infiltration without blocking ventilation entirely
• Allow horses to see out — reducing boredom and stable vices
• Horses quickly adapt to strip curtains and push through them without distress
• Easy to clean — essential for maintaining stable hygiene
• Available in 2m standard heights and made to measure for taller or wider stable doorways

Livestock Buildings

Cattle and sheep buildings, pig finishing units, and all-weather livestock housing benefit significantly from PVC strip curtains at entry and internal doorways:

Cattle Housing

Draughts at bedding level are a leading cause of respiratory disease in young calves and finishing cattle. PVC strip curtains across cubicle building entry points reduce ground-level draughts while maintaining adequate air exchange above.

Pig Units

Temperature control is critical in pig production — particularly for weaned piglets which are highly susceptible to chilling. PVC strip curtains on transition unit doorways help maintain target temperatures without restricting stockperson access.

Sheep Housing

During lambing, temperature stability is vital. PVC strip curtains on lambing shed entries allow easy access for routine checks without letting cold air flood in every time the door is opened.

Poultry Housing

Poultry units — broiler sheds, laying units, and turkey buildings — require precise environmental management. Temperature, ventilation rate, humidity, and biosecurity are all critical. PVC strip curtains contribute to poultry housing performance by:

• Reducing cold air infiltration through access doors in winter without compromising ventilation system performance
• Providing a physical biosecurity barrier at personnel and vehicle access points (reducing wild bird and vermin access)
• Controlling fly ingress in summer — a significant welfare issue in laying units
• Supporting Red Tractor and RSPCA Assured farm assurance scheme requirements for pest control

Tractor & Machinery Access

Modern agricultural machinery is wide and tall. Traditional doors on farm buildings often cannot accommodate current tractor and harvester dimensions. PVC strip curtains installed on full-width building openings provide:

• Access for any machinery regardless of width or height — strips part under vehicle contact
• No risk of machinery damage from catching on door edges
• Rapid re-closure after machinery passes through
• Suitable for machinery sheds, grain stores, fertiliser buildings, and equipment stores

Equestrian Facilities

Modern equestrian centres — livery yards, riding schools, and competition facilities — have specific requirements for their barn, arena, and walkway entrances. Our clear PVC strip curtains are widely used in equestrian facilities for:

• Arena end doors — allowing horse and rider to pass through without dismounting
• Tack room and feed store entries — pest control and temperature stability
• Wash-down bay entries — containing water spray and draughts
• Horse trailer and lorry loading areas — reducing horse anxiety at unfamiliar entry points

Made to Measure for Any Agricultural Opening

Our made-to-measure PVC strip curtains can be produced for openings of any size. Wide barn openings, irregular-shaped doorways, and non-standard heights are all accommodated. Provide the width and height of your opening and we will supply strips cut precisely to specification.
