The raised board design has become very popular with shed workers. The elevated work area reduces the strain placed on the back by continual lifting. Fleeces are gathered at waist height and transfered directly to the wool table.
Oddments can be sorted on the board and stored under the board overhang.
Timber wool floors provide a solid elevated work area that has many advantages. Sheep storage under the floor, a work area that's contamination free and a raised load-out capabilty make this a popular choice. At Shearing Shed Solutions, wool floors in the standard range consist of 15mm floorply but tongue and groove boards can also be supplied as a custom option.
A traditional flat board design is both economical and functional. It reduces overall construction costs by minimising the height of the shed and using a single floor level throughout. Fleeces can be easily gathered by using the correct lifting procedures and oddments around the board can be easily swept together.
Concrete wool floors in combination with a raised shearing board is a design option that meets both shearing and storage needs. At non shearing times, valuable machinery can be kept under cover without the need of a seperate storage shed. Conversion of sheds with existing concrete floors is a service that can be provided by Shearing Shed Solutions.
