ROUND PENS

Cover Technology has a line of structures for horse-breeding establishments, mainly consisting of round pens. Round pens vary in diameter depending on their intended use and the space available. Standard solutions are 12, 16, 18 and 20 metres in diameter, but bespoke and larger solutions can also be supplied.
The ROUND PEN construction consists of an aluminium and steel frame covered with technical PVC fabric or sandwich panels. The choice of materials allows shipping low weights and compact volumes, rapid assembly and impressive resistance to weather loads.

CONFIGURATION
Diameter	Minimum 12.00 metres / Maximum 28.00 metres
Side height	Minimum 02.50 metres / Maximum 04.00 metres
Wind resistance	Minimum 25 m/sec / Maximum 41 m/sec
Snow resistance	Minimum 60 daN/m² / Maximum 400 daN/m²
Cover fire resistance class	Self-extinguishing – Flame Retardant Class 2
Operating temperature	-30 °C / +70 °C

The ROUND PEN structure is circular, and allows:

INSTALLATION ON DIFFERENT SURFACES (asphalt, concrete, dirt, or sand) thanks to a special anchor system (with threaded bars, plates and nails or spiral bars)
DESIGN WITH A SPECIFIC SNOW BEARING CAPACITY, ranging from 60 kg/sq. m for the basic structure up to 400 kg/sq. m for areas with very high snowfall
CE MARKING of the structural components in compliance with the EN 1090-1:2009+A1:2011 standard thanks to Cover Technology’s accreditation.

It is also important to note that structures are designed and constructed in compliance with the Italian Ministerial Decree dated 17.01.2018 (known as the Technical Construction Standards or NTC2008 with return time Tr 50 years) and in compliance with the Eurocodes.

The supporting frame consists of extruded aluminium alloy profiles, creating a lightweight structure that withstands all weather conditions. Roofs and side walls are in flame-retardant, waterproof, very tough, PVC fabric. Naturally, there is a very wide selection of materials to suit the different uses and locations of structures. The main materials used in construction of the ROUND PEN structure are:

MATERIALS
Main structure components	Aluminium alloy profiles
Base plate elements	Hot-dip galvanised steel
Cover	Modular sheets of Class 2 Flame-Retardant PVC / Sandwich panels
Side walls, if required	Modular sheets of Class 2 Flame-Retardant PVC / Sandwich panels
Metal cables	Plastic-coated steel cable
Supporting surface	Plinth not required
Anchor systems for concrete surfaces	Threaded bars fixed with structural vinyl/epoxy resins
Anchor systems for firm ground and asphalt surfaces	Steel nails driven into the ground
Anchor systems for loose ground	Continuous spiral coils or rods

Apart from the STANDARD PVC sheeting, the cover may be in:

PVC fabrics with blackout treatment for sun protection
Thick PVC fabrics (strong cover)
Low-emission (silver-coated) or insulated PVC fabrics
PVC fabrics with special coating
