Farm & Country were approached by Oaklands College to design and build a bespoke lemur enclosure. After reviewing several construction approaches with the client, a preferred build method was chosen that allowed the enclosure to maximise the available space while keeping it practical for viewing and working safely with the lemurs.
- Bespoke enclosure designed for Oaklands College
- Construction method selected to maximise enclosure space
- Custom materials ordered to suit the agreed design
- Double-doored 6m x 2.4m building included
- Designed for both animal welfare and easy access
- Uneven base corrected using resin-bolted post feet
- Laser levelled structure across the entire site
- Built on 12' high 5x4" treated timbers
- Framework constructed using 6 x 1.5" treated joists
- Clad in galvanised 2x2" weldmesh for strength and longevity
Client feedback from Colin Elcombe, Oaklands College:
"We asked Farm & Country to quote for a new bespoke Lemur enclosure after we had seen and heard of other work they had carried out. They were quick to respond, helpful throughout the design stages and added a lot of value even before we had placed an order with ideas and suggestions to meet our needs and budget.
Once we had decided on the design and method of construction, we placed an order. The team at Farm & Country kept us informed of progress with the custom shed, materials on order and the start date for work on site.
Once the work got underway, the installation team were punctual, professional and safe, working hard to progress the build at a good pace. We were consulted as decisions were needed and even made small edits to the build along the way without any issues.
The job completed pretty much on schedule and we carried out a snag and sign-off process on the final day. When the team left, the site was clean, tidy and ready for use.
I would recommend Farm & Country for custom enclosures and fully intend to use them again."
