Steckfix hordes

Steckfix Hurdles in various lengths, heights, and designs: In this category, you'll find robust sheep hurdles, practical gate elements, lamb creep feeders, and suitable accessories such as wind protection nets and roof solutions for stable and pasture – modular, quickly assembled, Patura quality.

Steckfix hurdles offer a flexible, stable, and quickly deployable solution for sheep farming – from temporary pens in the pasture to animal-friendly partitions in the stable. This category includes standard panels with 7 bars (height 0.92 m), taller XL versions with 8 bars (height 1.10 m), models with gates, and versions with adjustable lamb creeps. Additionally, wind protection nets in two heights and a matching Steckfix roof are available. The product range is aimed at Swiss animal lovers, hobby sheep farmers, and agricultural businesses who prefer modular and durable solutions – including optional assembly service throughout Switzerland by arrangement.

Which Steckfix hurdles are available in this category?

Standard Hurdles (7 bars, 0.92 m height)

The standard Steckfix hurdles form the basis of the system: 7 horizontal bars with practical spacing, 0.92 m height, and selectable lengths (e.g., approximately 1.37 m, 1.83 m, or 2.75 m). The panels are robust, easy to handle, and suitable for stable partitions, collection areas, or flexible pasture pens. The stable tube geometry (e.g., Ø 21.3 mm; upper tube stronger) is typical and ensures durability.

XL Hurdles (8 bars, 1.10 m height)

The XL versions are taller (1.10 m) and equipped with 8 bars – ideal when additional height is desired. This category offers XL models in common lengths; importantly, XL and standard can be combined. This creates mixed lines with exactly the required height at sensitive sections (e.g., along access points).

Hurdles with Gates

Those who regularly need to pass through or move animals purposefully will find hurdles with integrated gates in this category. These elements simplify daily management – whether feeding in the stable, moving animals in the pasture, or safely entering a temporary enclosure.

Hurdles with Lamb Creeps

Models with adjustable lamb creeps – also available as a double creep version – are found in this category. They allow lambs a defined passage while adult animals remain behind. The creep's width is adjustable, allowing the passage to be tailored to the animals and the planned use.

Accessories: Wind Protection Nets and Roof

Wind protection nets (height 0.92 m or 1.10 m, each set with fastening buckles) reduce drafts in pens and along partitions. The Steckfix roof (2.75 × 2.75 m) serves as weather protection – practical for temporary solutions in the pasture or as a covered area in the yard. Depending on the setup, an additional, generous run may be useful to ensure that the keeping conditions comply with animal welfare regulations (TSchV).

How do Steckfix hurdles fit in with use on the farm, pasture, and in the stable?

Stable

For stable partitions, the standard panels with a height of 0.92 m in this category are particularly suitable. Due to their customizable length and bar spacing, areas can be structured efficiently. Gate elements are recommended for passages; for lamb areas, hurdles with creeps are the appropriate solution. Always keep in mind: plan for sufficient exercise areas and – where appropriate – additional outdoor enclosures.

Pasture and Farmyard

In the pasture, Steckfix hurdles stand out due to their quick assembly. Longer elements speed up the erection of straight lines, while shorter ones are more manageable in intricate areas. XL height (1.10 m) provides more reserve at critical points. Wind protection nets and the Steckfix roof increase weather protection – especially practical in the changeable weather of Swiss regions.

Which materials and quality levels are available?

All hurdles in this category are made of sturdy metal bars; standard models have 7 bars, while XL models have 8. The combination of graduated bar spacing and a reinforced top bar supports stability in daily use. The range covers a mixed price spectrum – from basic panels to versions with gates/lamb creeps, and accessories such as wind protection nets or roofs. The Patura brand stands for proven, durable components and high compatibility within the system.

How do equipment features support the selection of Steckfix hurdles?

• Gate elements: facilitate daily entry and animal movement – available in this category as a separate hurdle with integrated access.
