Hollow Plastic Ball Covers for Agriculture & Dairy Lagoons
The challenge
- Odor and ammonia complaints from neighbors
- Open lagoons attracting birds and pests
- Nutrient and water management
- Limited budget and labor for covers
How Armor Ball® helps
Armor Ball® floats across dairy and CAFO lagoons to suppress the odor and surface emissions that drive neighbor complaints, and to deter the birds and pests that open lagoons attract. The poured-on 91% layer caps the surface without chemicals.
There are no anchors, liners, or mechanical systems to service: the cover self-adjusts to changing levels, is not damaged by ice or snow, and needs no maintenance over a 25+ year design life — a low-labor fit for farms with limited budget and crew.
What to look for when covering a agriculture & dairy lagoons surface
- Crust and solids: Lagoons with heavy crusting vary site to site; share your conditions so AWTT can confirm the right cover and quantity.
- Labor and budget: A tool-free pour-on install with zero maintenance keeps both upfront labor and ongoing cost low.
- Cover quantity: Plan about 10 balls per ft² (108/m²); the coverage calculator sizes your lagoon quickly.

FAQ
Agriculture & Dairy Lagoons — questions answered
Will a ball cover reduce odor from a dairy lagoon?
Yes. A 91% Armor Ball® layer acts as a physical barrier that suppresses odor and surface emissions from dairy and agricultural lagoons, helping reduce nuisance complaints — with no maintenance once poured.
Does the cover need maintenance through winter?
No. Armor Ball® is not damaged by ice or snow and self-adjusts as the lagoon level changes, so the layer keeps working through freeze-thaw cycles with no seasonal servicing.
