Construction And Installation

We Design, Engineer, Manufacture and InstallĀ  greenhouses, shelters and commercial infrastructure.

Whatever your market, our fabric structures are the smart choice for your operational needs.”

Construction And Installation

Croft Structures Pty Ltd prides itself on being a vertically integrated “one-stop shop.” Their construction and installation philosophy is built on the principle that the same team that designs and manufactures your structure is the team that installs it. This approach eliminates the “he-said-she-said” of subcontracting and ensures that the technical intent of the engineering is carried out precisely on-site.

Below is a breakdown of their construction and installation services for their core product ranges:

The Croft Installation Process

Croft manages the entire project lifecycle, ensuring a streamlined transition from the factory floor to your site.

Pre-Site Assessment: The process begins with a detailed site inspection to assess ground surface variations, weather exposure, and any specific logistical challenges (such as access for heavy machinery).

WHS & Compliance: As safety is a primary priority, the installation team provides all necessary SWMS (Safe Work Method Statements) and Insurance Certificates before any work commences.

Heavy Equipment Integration: The team utilizes specialized plant equipment, including scissor lifts, cranes, and telehandlers, to ensure the structure is erected efficiently and safely.

In-House Crews: Croft does not rely on external subcontractors; they use their own fully ticketed and trained personnel who are intimately familiar with the specific tensioning requirements of fabric structures.

Container Dome Solutions

Croft’s container-mounted shelters are designed for both rapid deployment and long-term durability.

Weld-Free Mounting: They offer specialized mounting systems that can be installed without “hot works” (welding). This is ideal for sites where fire risk is high or for hire containers that must be returned undamaged.

Custom Mounting Options: They can mount to the internal side, the external side, or a combination of both, allowing for maximum flexibility in how the space between and inside the containers is used.

Tensioning Systems: Their installation process ensures the fabric cover is perfectly tensioned to prevent “buffeting” in high winds, which is critical for the 10-year warranty they provide.

Greenhouses & Horticultural Structures

With over three decades of experience, Croft’s greenhouse construction is focused on the science of growth.

Style Versatility: They construct various styles including Lean-To, Even Span, and Ridge & Furrow (gutter-connected) houses.

Ventilation Integration: Installation often includes specialized motorized venting systems (like the “Ventmaster”) and side-wall blinds to manage the internal climate.

Advanced Cladding: They specialize in the installation of double-sheet polyethylene covers, which are blown apart by fans to create an insulating air gap—a process that requires professional precision to avoid leaks.

Farm & Animal Shelters

For agricultural operations, Croft focuses on robust structures that support both the livestock and the farmer’s goals.

Fixed Shelters: Typically installed on concrete footings or piers to provide a permanent hub for cattle, sheep, or machinery.

Mobile Shelters (Skid-Mounted): Specifically for free-range poultry or pigs, these are constructed on heavy-duty, hot-dipped galvanized skid frames with integrated tow hitches, allowing the farmer to relocate the entire building across different paddocks.

Husbandry Fit-outs: During construction, the team can integrate specialized gates, rubber belting, effluent management systems, and nesting conveyors.
