Panels

Sun-North produces a number of rigid panels. These panels move up and down over openings of ½ m to 3 m in the sidewall of a livestock confinement building allowing fresh air and light to enter the facility. Good ventilation is the second most important factor in raising livestock profitably. Sun-North manufactures a variety of panels, some with a very high insulation factor and some that are sliding glass panels. These panels can be a series of 1 m long panels or single panels that are 50 m long. View More....

Ridge Exhaust/Lite

Our forefathers used natural ventilation to ventilate their farm buildings. Principally, fresh air is brought in through a sidewall opening and the natural convection of the warmed air rises and is drawn out through chimneys or ridge openings. Sun-North has created various sizes of insulated poly chimneys that are ideal for this application along with long ridge door and lite panels that can regulated this exhausting of air through the peak of the building. Natural light is very beneficial for healthy livestock and the ridge is a valuable point for light entry. View More....

Power Exhaust

Natural ventilation is the ideal solution but there are situations that require power assistant to create a healthy livestock environment. This can take the form of fans mounted in chimneys or fans in end walls to create tunnel ventilation. In some barn designs both natural and forced air or fans would be used to create the optimum environment. Some may need natural and ceiling circulating fans. Where the density of animals is very high such as caged poultry layer barns then forced air through fans and forced air inlets may be the only answer. View More....
