A Cover-All® dairy barn enhances the growth and productivity of your herd by providing a naturally bright interior with superior ventilation, significantly reducing stress and increasing the overall health of your herd. Greater cow comfort in the peaceful environment of a Cover-All dairy barn leads to increased milk production and higher profits for you.

More light, more comfort, more profit – that’s what you can expect from a Cover-All dairy barn.
Natural Light
The naturally bright interior of a Cover-All® dairy barn allows you to benefit from every single minute of daylight and make the most of every day of production. Research shows that exposing dairy cattle to greater amounts of natural light increases milk production. The unique translucent properties of our DuraWeave® fabric covers allow natural light to penetrate creating a bright interior for your dairy operation. With more light flowing into your Cover-All dairy barn, your need for artificial daytime lighting will be greatly reduced.
Excellent Ventilation & Air Quality
Cover-All dairy barn buildings are built with the understanding that ventilation is a key element of a successful dairy barn design. With optimum ventilation, dairy producers can reduce dairy barn odors, lower temperature, reduce humidity, and eliminate air contaminates. Achieve superior air quality and ventilation inside your Cover-All dairy barn with the addition of ridge vents, adjustable side curtains and end wall vents.
Clear-Span Interior
The clear-span interior of Cover-All agriculture buildings gives you the flexibility to design your dairy barn around your stall, feed alley, and scraping requirements. Available in a variety of pre-engineered, clear-span building sizes to accommodate a multitude of dairy barns layouts for maximum useable space and herd comfort.
Versatility
With the ultimate in design flexibility, a Cover-All dairy building can be used for multiple building applications. Cover-All dairy buildings can also be extended at any time to meet your changing needs. From free-stall barns to calving barn facilities to equipment and feed storage – Cover-All is the farm building solution for your dairy operation.
Protection from the Elements
Keeping your dairy cattle safe from driving winds or extreme heat is important to their overall health and productivity. Cover-All dairy barns shelter your cattle, their feed, and their rest areas from heat, precipitation, humidity, and winter storms. Our DuraWeave® covers reduce temperature fluctuations, so your Cover-All dairy barn has a cool, shady atmosphere in the summer and a warm, moisture-controlled environment in the winter.
Lower Operating Costs
With a Cover-All dairy barn, ongoing costs such as daytime lighting and maintenance are reduced or non-existent. The unique properties of the translucent DuraWeave® fabric tension cover allow natural light inside the dairy barn, reducing electrical costs by as much as 80%*. Never worry about shingles or paint again with a Cover-All dairy barn. Cover-All dairy barns are virtually maintenance free, which saves you money and increases your bottom line.

Our Dairy Building Customers:
"If I were a cow, this is the barn I would want to be in. Everyone who walks into our barns comments that the cows look very comfortable because there is so much natural light. We are confident that the combination of fresh air, natural light and good cow management are the reasons for excellent herd health."
- Tim Hood, Hood Dairy Farms
“These buildings saved the lives of 100s of cows. If we had built large pole barns for free stall barns, I know that hundreds of cows would have been killed and severely wounded by flying wood debris.”
- Allen Abel, Abel Dairy Farm
“We like that we can light the whole Cover-All barn with five lights instead of the ten that I have to use in my freestall barns. And even ten just isn’t enough, but in here the five lights just light it up really nice. The Cover-All building is one of the best choices for this application. The 70 foot wide barn, as far as price per square foot goes, has worked out really well.”
- John Seffrood, NorSwiss Dairy
