4 considerations for Design. At Walters Buildings, we provide custom building solutions to our customers. We listen to your current needs as well as the future plans for your operation. We then work with you to design and build a structure that will maximize labor efficiency and animal comfort. during planning, we take into account: Type of animal Building materials Feed & water supply Manure handling Ventilation & cooling Bedding materials Barn equipment & fencing Herd health & security Plumbing & electrical work Pest management Drainage & runoff control Concrete construction Site selection & preparation Personnel & equipment access functional facilities animal comfort + = A productive & profitable operation 2

Bird wire keeps birds out and protects curtains. b. High tensile wire allows for maximum ventilation yet keeps animals from contacting the curtains. b End alley allows access to feed room and protects doors from cattle and manure. Bedding storage connected to freestall barn. 4

11 building features columns PATENT #4,679,367 Extensive tests on Walters Buildings structural columns have been completed by PFS Corporation, a nationally known and respected testing laboratory, Walters professional engineering staff and the University of Wisconsin. The result of these tests show that Steel Transfer Plated (STP) columns with embedded steel plates act as a repetitive member with greater strength than the lumber grade used. This enables Walters engineers to design buildings using three or more ply columns of 2x6, 2x8, 2x10, 2x12. The size depends on the local design standards and building heights. The goal in the design of vertical columns is to maximize strength properties by distributing the load more uniformly. Mechanical lamination of STP produces a greater design bending strength than both spliced and unspliced nailed columns. The mid-span deflection of the STP column is also 14% stiffer than a typical nail laminated column. The presence of butt joints in columns is generally the most critical. Stress variations at the butt joints force the load to be redistributed into the adjacent members or layers Foundations Walters Buildings can construct your building on prepared fill (standard) or on concrete. Our minimum sized footing specifications calls for holes dug four feet deep with a 45 pound layer of dry concrete mix to establish a firm level base. A 1/2 x 9 rod is inserted through the STP column near the base. The STP column is then set on the first layer of dry concrete mix. After being plumbed, an additional 45 pounds of dry cement is placed around the base and rod. The hole is then backfilled and tamped. The result is a secure, performance tested foundation. This foundation provides design strength for download and upload. The diameter of footing will be based on the total vertical load on the column.
