1. Introduction to Modular Steel Chicken House

Unlike traditional chicken coops made from wood or brick, modular steel chicken houses leverage high-quality galvanized steel structures combined with insulated panels, ensuring superior protection against harsh weather, pests, and fire. Their modular design allows for quick assembly, easy expansion, and hassle-free relocation, making them ideal for various poultry farming scales—from small backyard setups to large commercial operations.

As the poultry industry grows and modernizes, modular steel chicken houses provide farmers with a future-proof infrastructure solution that optimizes space, enhances bird welfare, and streamlines farm management.

2. Technical Specifications and Parameters

The specifications of a modular steel chicken house vary according to design requirements, climate, and poultry type. Below are typical technical parameters:

2.1 Structural Materials

Frame Material: Hot-dip galvanized steel or stainless steel with corrosion-resistant coatings
Steel Grade: Commonly Q235 or Q345 steel
Frame Thickness: 1.5 mm to 3 mm
Wall Panels: Insulated sandwich panels with polyurethane, EPS, or rock wool core for thermal insulation
Roof Panels: Insulated or corrugated galvanized steel sheets with protective coatings

2.2 Dimensions

Length: Customizable, typically 10m to 60m per module
Width: 6m to 15m
Height: Eave height 3m to 5m, ridge height 4m to 6m
Modularity: Modules can be connected to create larger complexes

2.3 Environmental Systems

Ventilation: Ridge vents, sidewall vents, mechanical fans, or evaporative cooling pads
Insulation: High-performance panels minimize heat loss/gain
Lighting: Natural daylight panels or energy-efficient LED lighting
Doors/Windows: Sliding or hinged doors, mesh windows for airflow and biosecurity

2.4 Load and Durability

Wind Load Capacity: Up to 120 km/h or customized per region
Snow Load Capacity: Typically 0.5 kN/m², adjustable based on weather
Fire Resistance: Steel frame and fire-retardant panels enhance safety
Corrosion Protection: Galvanization and paint coatings extend lifespan
