Maximum sales time and minimum downtime

A well-designed saleyard cover is the perfect solution for all-weather auction yards. They protect livestock, vendors and saleyard workers from rain and extreme heat, while helping to limit stress levels of livestock. Each saleyard cover design considers all local topographical aspects, climate, and existing property levels to ensure they are as effective and functional as possible.

The space

Make your long days easier with a purpose-built saleyard. It’s an incredible asset and provides shelter to livestock during long auction periods. When we design your saleyard cover, we think about the local topography, year-round climate and the saleyard layout.

We eliminate column locations clashing with yard gates and fences, and we check loading ramps and truck heights to maximise accessibility.

The result? A cover that protects livestock and allows for smooth livestock drop-off and pick-up for transportation pre and post auction. 

Design options to suit your needs

To truly customise your project, a considered range of product options are available. Talk through these options with our industrial shed specialists for the perfect result.

We do things differently

Our flexibility, experience and know-how are unrivalled in this industry, which is why nearly three quarters of our total business comes from referrals or reorders. There’s a reason why so many businesses trust us to get the job done right, and why you should trust us too.

Our hot-dipped galvanised Australian steel is a game changer in this industry - built to last for more than 50 years in most rural environments. This means you can get on with the business that matters without having to worry about your sheds or your assets.

“Working with Central Steel Build and MKM Constructions was a great decision for us. They took a lot of time and effort to value engineer and design the building around the functionality of our yards and significantly reduced the cost while doing so. They even customised the size of each bay to be aligned with the yards and reduced the number of internal posts which serves to maximise the usability of the yards. The building kit was delivered on time, and everything went together easily almost like a Meccano set. We are very happy with the end product and would not hesitate in recommending Central Steel Build and MKM Constructions.”

Manager of Horsham Regional Livestock Exchange

Recent saleyard covers project case study

Scone Regional Livestock Selling Centre (SRLSC) serves cattle producers and the equestrian industry in the Upper Hunter Valley and the East Coast. Seeking to extend and enhance their saleyards, they engaged Thompson Longhorn to manage the project. With a trusted relationship already in place, Thompson Longhorn reached out to us at Central Steel Build to design, value engineer, fabricate, and construct the saleyards cover.
