Agri-Steel is carefully manufactured in a controlled process to ensure consistent quality. It has been developed as an effective cladding material for agricultural buildings and is guaranteed to give 15 years functional performance, providing buildings are well designed and ventilated. Agri-steel sheets are unaffected by mould, fungi and mildew and do not support vermin.
Agri-Steel is constantly laboratory-tested in accredited laboratories to measure its performance against corrosion, effect of sunlight, chemicals and abrasion.
Agri-Steel, like all our steel cladding, is manufactured in a process certified to
ISO 9001:2008 and the substrate complies with BS EN 10346:2009.
Performance data and load span tables for all the Agri-Steel profiles are available from Steadmans.

Although Agri-Steel is generally maintenance-free, appropriate maintenance will considerably extend the overall life of the sheeting.
We recommend:
- separate treated timber purlins from the cladding sheets by using a DPC type material;
- the bottom edge of wall sheeting be kept out of continuous contact with damp materials;
- prolonged direct contact with aggressive chemicals (e.g. slurry) be avoided;
- if the coating is damaged, and the substrate is visible, touch-up paint should be applied to the exposed metal only;
- when the buildings are in a coastal location, the cut edges should be coated with touch up paint;
- areas of sheeting which are not washed by rain water (e.g. under eaves) be washed regularly to prevent the accumulation of salts.
Agri-Steel is available in 3 standard colours - see below. Special colours may also available, contact Steadmans for more details.
Slate Blue 18B29 |
Juniper Green 12B29 |
Vandyke Brown08B29 |
The colours include the nearest British Standard reference for guidance only as the colours vary slightly from British Standard and are for guidance only - specification should be made from an actual sample, available from Steadmans.
The Agri-Steel system is available directly from Steadmans. Sheets are supplied in plastic wrapped packs. Fully timber crated pack are available for sea freight shipping at additional cost.
Agri-Steel sheets are usually delivered to site. Off loading is the responsibility of the customer. Delivery by self offload vehicles can be arranged.
