Save on Agricultural Roofing with TAMS II Grant Approved Sheeting
If you're planning a new agricultural building or re-roofing an existing shed in Ireland, the TAMS II (Targeted Agricultural Modernisation Scheme) grant can significantly reduce your material costs. O'Connor Roofing Supplies stocks Department of Agriculture approved corrugated and box profile sheeting that is fully eligible under this scheme.
What Is the TAMS II Grant?
TAMS II is a Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine grant scheme that provides financial assistance to farmers investing in approved agricultural buildings and equipment. Under the scheme, eligible applicants can claim up to 40% of approved costs (60% for young farmers) on qualifying materials including roof sheeting.
To qualify, the roofing materials must meet specific Department of Agriculture specifications — including gauge, coating and colour requirements. Not all sheeting on the market is grant approved, which is why it's important to source from a supplier who stocks the correct specification.
What Grant Approved Sheeting Does O'Connor Roofing Supply?
We supply both corrugated and box profile roof sheeting that is fully approved under the TAMS II scheme. The specifications are:
- Gauge: 0.6mm minimum (as required under TAMS II specifications)
- Coating: Polyester coated steel to Department of Agriculture specification
- Colours available: Slate Grey and Juniper Green (the two TAMS II approved colours)
- Profiles available: Standard corrugated and box profile
All grant approved sheeting is cut to your required length and available for nationwide delivery from our yard in Dundalk, Co. Louth.
How Much Can You Save with TAMS II?
The amount you can save depends on the size of your project, your applicant category (standard farmer vs young farmer) and the current TAMS II reference costs. As a general guide:
- Standard farmers can claim back approximately 40% of approved material costs
- Young farmers (under 40) can claim back approximately 60% of approved costs
For a medium-sized agricultural shed, this can represent a very significant saving on your roofing materials. Our team can help you estimate the potential grant value for your project when you request a quote.
How to Apply for the TAMS II Agricultural Grant
The application process for TAMS II is managed through the Department of Agriculture's Agfood.ie online system. The key steps are:
- Step 1: Check eligibility — your farm must be registered with the Department of Agriculture and you must meet the scheme requirements
- Step 2: Submit your application through agfood.ie before starting any construction work. Works carried out before approval will not be eligible
- Step 3: Receive approval and commence works — ensure you use only grant-approved materials from an approved supplier
- Step 4: Complete the works and submit your payment claim with invoices and photographic evidence
Our team at O'Connor Roofing is familiar with the documentation requirements and can provide you with the correct product specifications and invoicing to support your claim.
