Galebreaker provides a range of door solutions suitable for maintaining the ideal atmosphere for successful grain storage. Galebreaker’s materials have been recommended by Quality Assurance assessors where bird and vermin prevention is key. Our Agridoor range can provide a choice of doors from affordable manual yard doors for sheltered positions, through to advanced doors with remote control operation spanning up to 10m in height or width.

Successful grain storage

Moisture management and pest control are two significant concerns when storing grain. Galebreaker products, in particular the Agridoor Pro (Manual or Electric) provides a robust access solution for sheds used for grain storage. The uprights which fix onto the building and the low ground clearance help provide a barrier to ground vermin and birds. Upper Court Farm, chose Galebreaker when deciding which door could best protect their high quality animal feed. Tom comments “The great value and quality of the Galebreaker Agridoors have been of significant benefit to Upper Court Farm. They have prevented birds and rodents from gaining access to the grain and feed, guaranteeing compliance for farm assurance and UFAS Schemes”. Tom Davies, Upper Court Farm.

The right agricultural door

Fitting out a new barn or upgrading an existing shed can be an expensive job, especially with the increasing cost of steel and timber. Choosing the right door from the outset will ensure that your investment is well spent, and the shed is easily accessed for years to come.  You may wish to consider: size and position of the door. Galebreaker’s doors range from 3m up to 20m, and in height from 3m to 10m; ease of use and installation – Fabric is lighter which allows easier operation and installation together with an extensive service life; automatic or remote controlled – the Agridoor range offers both manual and electric operation with both push button or remote controller options; guarantee and serviceability – Galebreaker door products come with a 10 year guarantee, but more importantly a full range of spares can be purchased for on farm repair. Even the door panels can be easily swapped out in case of accidental damage. This blog provide more detail on choosing the right agricultural door.


Material flexibility

At Galebreaker, we use a variety of fabrics, each specially designed to boost livestock health and performance in their own way. Two key considerations when selecting what fabric to use is the level of ventilation and degree of weather protection offered – we can supply either mesh or solid materials depending on which factor is more important for your livestock building. With several of the Galebreaker products, including our Agridoor Pro range, different fabrics can be combined in different panels giving a unique mix of ventilation, weather protection and matching with particular colour schemes or planning requirements.  Technical details about our products can be found on our page here
