fiberglass support beam, 1.corrosion & Humidity resistant, extremely strong and durable, 2. widely used for pig/poultry farm - details see: https://www.machineto.com/poultry-shed-poultry-farm-design-using-fiberglass-support-beam-for-slats-floor-10172012

Poultry shed/Poultry farm design using - fiberglass support beam for slats floor

hollow triangle fiberglass beam have better structural stability than T shape frp floor beam

Fiberglass support beam could withstand the highly corrosive environment of pig house(or poultry house) while also carrying big load bearing

Wood, steel and aluminum were the other materials considered in the design of a new support beam, however, none of those materials offered the strength or corrosive resistant that pig/poultry farm needed in their flooring system

triangle fiberglass beam specification list

item	H*W*Top thickness mm	Weight(kg/m)
FRP Beam	100*32*5.5mm	1.12
	120*32*5.5mm	1.38
	135*36.8*5.6mm	1.48

fiberglass supports include:

fiberglass support beam Advantages:

• Light weight, high strength— easier to transport and install with standard tools
• Corrosion resistant— won’t rot or rust and absorbs minimal moisture
• Chemical resistant-mild acid-alkali proof
• Humidity resistant— no shrinking or swelling
• Impact resistant— fiberglass mat distributes the load to prevent surface damage
• Safety— won’t conduct electricity, and non-slip surfaces are available
• Long-lasting— lower lifetime cost than traditional building materials
• Low thermal conductivity— does not easily conduct heat or cold
• Non-electrical conductivity, with non magnetic property
• Fire retardant (selected)
