COVER-ALL® buildings have more air volume

Steel buildings, with their low roof slope, have a comparably smaller volume of air in the building. As a result, as the air warms and rises, it is trapped making it hot and stuffy inside the steel building.

In a Cover-All®, the high ceiling and larger volume of air allows the warm air to rise to the peak of the building, keeping the ground surface cooler. 

Warmer air also typically contains odors from animals and as it rises, in a properly vented Cover-All® building, it will be vented out of the building.
 

A steel building would need to be constructed twice as tall to enclose the same volume of air. This would further add to the cost for additional leg and sidewall materials.

"Because the roof is so much higher than a conventional barn, we have a large volume of air over the cattle. We were able to design the barn to get all the natural ventilation we need. The air always smells good in our barns."
