Roll-Over Systems |
|
- mounted bottom roller tube - |
|
 |
When a high sidewall dairy curtain is the answer, then the Roll-Over curtain system is the solution. As the curtain is lowered from the top, the curtain is kept taught by wrapping the excess curtain around the permanently mounted bottom rolling tube. This system reduces the dirt and moisture build up associated with a drop down curtain, wind noise is decreased and the haven for rodents is eliminated. The curtain rolls with an easy smooth motion and your dairy barn sidewall will have a nice neat appearance. View More.... |
Centre Roll Systems |
|
 |
The Centre Roll system is very popular with dairymen with large sidewall openings and long barns in moderate climates. In a lot of cases this curtain is rolled automatically up under the eve in late spring and not adjusted until late summer. Sun-North often manufactures this curtain in 10oz. to 16oz. poly vinyl since the vertical wind supports are often wider apart which is typical with a steel structured facility. View More.... |

The Roll Up curtain, in many ways, is the ultimate curtain system since it allows many options in climate control and protects the fabric from the elements. |
Original Top Down |
|
 |
This dairy barn curtain is the simplest and least expensive. The curtain is permanently fastened along the bottom of the wall opening and then lowered (opened) from the top by a cable system either hand winched or power actuator. By opening the curtain from the top it forces the cooler air to enter high up along the sidewall which avoids severe drafts on your dairy livestock. View More.... |
Split Systems |
|
- top curtain drops down, bottom curtain rolls up - |
|
 |
It is important to be able to only open the very top of the curtain system in cold weather and yet open the entire system in very hot weather, hence the split curtain. This system is well suited to large sidewall openings.

Parlour |
|
- divider system - |
|
 |
For increased comfort in the milking parlour, a heavy fabric parlour curtain wall is the ideal answer. This curtain can be installed between the holding area and parlour or main dairy barn and parlour. Typically, the curtain is fastened to the ceiling or top header and a horizontal sleeve in the centre of the curtain contains a 3-1/2" glavalom tube. This tube then rotates moving upwards rolling the bottom half and the top half as it progresses upwards finishing up against the ceiling. Normally the curtain rolls up automatically by way of a motor mounted inside the centre tube. View More.... |
Large Door Commodity |
|
- Weather Stop fabric door system - |
|
 |
Weather Stop fabric doors are designed for large door openings in open front calf and heifer barns, commodity sheds and implement buildings. Weather Stop is unique because it is an anti-unravel knitted polyethylene fabric with a very high level of UV protection guaranteeing long life. Weather Stop fabric is semi-permeable which allows some air movement and minimum ventilation through very small openings in the fabric while keeping out rain and snow. Weather Stop uses gear drives to roll the fabric up and down allowing clear access for opening up to 30' high. View More.... |
