01Area
What kind of work comes up in Tekirdağ?
Tekirdağ combines two different economies, and our work list splits in two accordingly. The Çorlu and Çerkezköy corridor has textile and manufacturing plants; from there come warehouse steel structures, roof renewal and site fencing. Inland, the agricultural landscape of Thrace dominates: barns, hay barns, greenhouses and machinery sheds.
With livestock buildings, the topic we discuss most is ventilation geometry. On the open land of Thrace the wind is strong, and in a well-designed shelter this can be turned into an advantage: air entering through the side walls rises along the roof slope and exits through the ridge opening. The building’s orientation is set according to this flow; taking a barn design that works in another province and using it as is often spoils the ventilation.
For greenhouses, the deciding factors are wind load and anchoring. On open land, a greenhouse faces the uplift effect of the wind; the main job of the anchoring becomes holding the structure down. Whether to use concrete socket footings or screw piles depends on the soil, and the two do not do the same job. What you plan to grow also goes into the section calculation, because in vegetable growing the plants are hung from the frame.
On the industrial side, distance is a planning matter. Çorlu and Çerkezköy have a direct connection to Arnavutköy through Thrace; large parts can be shipped in a single trip. For jobs where the installation crew needs to stay overnight, we build the plan together from the start.
Land fencing is another job we do often in the region. Plots in Thrace are large, and the length to be fenced often runs to hundreds of meters; at this scale, what matters is not the panel model but post spacing and anchoring. Leaving post spacing wider than necessary on a long run makes the line wave after a few seasons. If the land slopes, whether the run will step down or follow the slope is decided at the outset.
Demand profile
Demand from Tekirdağ divides clearly by geography. Along the Çorlu and Çerkezköy corridor: warehouse steel structures, roof renewal and site fencing; inland: barns, hay barns, greenhouses and machinery sheds.
What the two have in common is scale. Because plots in Thrace are large, both the buildings and the fence lines are big; that makes planning different from jobs within Istanbul. The number of parts per shipment and the time the installation crew will spend on site are worked out in advance.

03Local conditions
What drives our decisions in Tekirdağ?
Climate, ground, wind and access conditions directly change our decisions on sections, surface treatment and installation. This section explains what we do differently in this area, and why.
01
Thracian wind and building orientation
On the open land of Thrace, the wind is constant and strong. In a livestock shelter this can be turned into an advantage: air entering through the side walls rises along the roof slope and exits through the ridge opening, so the building ventilates itself. But this works only when the building is oriented to the prevailing wind. Taking a barn design that works well in another province and using it as is often turns out to be the first decision that spoils the ventilation.
02
Uplift and anchoring in greenhouses
On open land, a greenhouse faces the uplift effect of the wind; the job of the anchoring is not to support the structure but to hold it down. Concrete socket footings and screw piles do not do the same job, and which is right depends on the soil. What will be grown also goes into the section calculation: in vegetable growing, plants hang from the frame, so the hanging load becomes a separate input.
03
Post spacing and slope on long runs
On fence lines hundreds of meters long, what matters is not the panel model but post spacing and anchoring. When the spacing is left wider than necessary, the line starts to wave after a few seasons. If the land slopes, whether the run will step down or follow the slope is decided at the outset — the two mean different post lengths and different fabrication.
04From the field
Situations we often encounter in this area
We don’t give client names, project names or dates; what we describe is the situation itself and how it was solved.
Expanding a greenhouse later
In greenhouse farming, the area grows as production grows. A multi-span block greenhouse suits this well; the extension lines up with the existing grid and the gutter line continues without a break. What decides it is how the end trusses were chosen. If the possibility of growth is mentioned at the start, the extension is almost trouble-free; if not, the end section has to be strengthened, which is a disproportionate amount of work for the area gained.
How long the installation crew stays on site
On large agricultural buildings, installation does not fit into a single day, and the crew has to stay in the area. That means logistics, more than the work itself, set the schedule. We build the plan together from the start: which parts arrive in what order, which day the crane will be on site, which tasks the weather might postpone. When these are agreed in writing, waiting time on site drops noticeably.
05Models
The models we’re asked about most in this area
All are made to measure; the model is a starting point. Changes can be made to suit the dimensions and the opening.
06Delivery and installation
How do we get from Arnavutköy to Tekirdağ?
Shipments from Arnavutköy to the Thrace corridor are direct; for long parts, the route and delivery time are planned in advance. Where access is across fields, the track the installation vehicle can use is identified during the site survey.
For agricultural buildings, measuring is done in a single visit; for fencing jobs, we walk the line and note the ground and slope. On large buildings, installation spreads over several days, so the shipping order of parts and the crane day are planned in advance. We state the exact duration in the quote once the number of bays and the ground conditions are clear.
We have no branches or dealers; all fabrication is done in our own workshop in Arnavutköy. Price and lead time depend on the size of the job, the opening and the installation conditions — so we don’t quote a figure or a number of days up front here. Send your measurements and location, and we’ll work it out for your project.
07FAQ
Frequently asked questions for Tekirdağ
How does the wind in Thrace affect a barn?
In two ways: built correctly, the barn is ventilated by the wind for free; built wrongly, the wind is what strains the structure. Side wall openings, eaves height and the ridge opening are set according to the prevailing wind direction. Wind load for the region also goes into the section calculation.
Can I expand my greenhouse later?
A multi-span block greenhouse suits this: the new bay continues from the existing grid and the gutter line is extended. If the possibility of growth is mentioned at the start, the end trusses are chosen with that in mind and the extension is very easy. If not, the end section may need strengthening.
Do you help with permits and agricultural subsidies?
We prepare the structural calculations and construction drawings and supply the technical documents required for applications. The permit process and support programs vary with how the municipality and the provincial directorate of agriculture apply them; we cannot give definitive information on these, and we recommend confirming with the relevant authority.
How should I decide which way my barn faces?
By the prevailing wind direction. The aim is for air entering through the side walls to rise along the roof slope and exit at the ridge; when the building sits perpendicular to this flow, ventilation works on its own. Share your plot’s location and the position of any existing buildings, and we will set the orientation together.
What post spacing should I use around a field?
It would not be right to give a single figure; the spacing depends on the ground, the length of the run and the panel type. The general rule is this: wider spacing looks like a saving at first, but on a long run it comes back as a wavy line. Tell us the length of the run and how the land slopes, and we will calculate the spacing accordingly.
Do you need to know what I will grow in the greenhouse?
We do. In vegetable growing, plants hang from the frame, so the hanging load goes into the calculation and the section is chosen accordingly; in ornamental plant and potted production, floor load and internal air circulation come to the fore. Two greenhouses of the same size need different frames depending on what is grown.
