Wooden field shelters give horses, ponies and livestock somewhere to escape the worst of the weather. Out in an open paddock, a timber shelter offers shade on hot days and a windbreak when the rain sets in, letting animals come and go as they please.
Timber is a natural choice for a field shelter: sturdy, breathable and sympathetic to a rural setting. An open-fronted design lets animals see out and move freely, which many settle into far more readily than an enclosed stable.
Browse timber field shelters in a range of sizes, from single-pony shelters through to larger structures for small groups. It's worth checking local planning requirements before siting one, as rules vary between councils.
Garden storage has to do three things at once: keep your kit dry, stand up to British weather year after year, and actually look right next to your planting. Most cheap options get one of those — ours are designed around all three.

Timber is a natural choice for a field shelter: sturdy, breathable and sympathetic to a rural setting. A wooden shelter offers shade on hot days and a windbreak when the rain sets in, blending into an open paddock far more comfortably than harsher materials. Kept treated, the timber stands up to weather while looking at home in the countryside.
It is worth checking local planning requirements before siting one, as rules vary between councils. A mobile shelter and a fixed structure may be treated differently, and your land's designation can matter too. Contacting your local planning authority before you install saves trouble later, so you know exactly what is allowed on your particular site.
You can browse timber field shelters in a range of sizes, from single-pony shelters through to larger structures for small groups. Match the size to how many animals will use it and how much room they need to stand comfortably out of the weather. A shelter sized to the herd stops animals crowding or being kept out.
An open-fronted design lets animals see out and move freely, which many settle into far more readily than an enclosed stable. Out in a paddock they can come and go as they please, taking shade or shelter when they want it. This freedom, together with the airflow an open front gives, suits stock living out year-round.
Yes. A timber shelter offers shade on hot days and a windbreak when the rain sets in, so it earns its place across the seasons rather than in winter alone. Turned-out animals often value the shade and shelter from flies in summer as much as the cover from cold, wet weather later in the year.
