Covers for overground slurry stores increase the actual slurry storage of the tank by one-fifth by keeping the rain out. It keeps in nitrogen that could otherwise be lost to the environment and reduces the cost of spreading rainwater normally collected by the tank.
Our slurry store covers are made from reinforced, dung-resistant, PVC-coated polyester industrial fabric, tried and tested throughout Europe.
The cover is attached to the side of the tank with stainless steel tensioners and a centre support pole; the cover has gas vents.
