Everything you need to know
The Animal Field Shelter V.6 with Open Front and Apex Roof pairs a fully open elevation with a pitched apex roof, giving horses and livestock unrestricted access while the raised ridge adds headroom and helps rainwater run clear. This V.6 design is a quick-assembly favourite for exposed fields and paddocks where animals need reliable shelter on demand.
Every shelter is supplied with instructions and fixings for easy self-assembly, or the Arbor Garden Solutions team can install it for you. Cladding is sawn featheredge board as standard, with the whole frame built from 2x4 (38mm x 89mm) pressure-treated timber. Fitted on galvanised steel skids, it can be towed around the paddock without an expensive concrete base, and rarely needs planning permission.

Field Shelter - what actually matters
Anything that lives outdoors in the UK has to cope with sustained damp rather than dramatic weather. Drainage, airflow and how the unit sits on the ground do more for its lifespan than the headline material. If you want the longer version, read the full range.
Looking after it
- Re-coat with a clear or tinted exterior wood treatment every two to three years.
- Keep the base clear of piled soil and leaf litter so the timber can dry out.
- Check fixings once a year and nip up anything that has worked loose.
Delivery and returns
Orders over £100 ship free to UK mainland addresses, normally inside 5-7 working days. Larger items travel by pallet to kerbside, so arrange help to move them. You have 14 days to change your mind under the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013 - see returns and delivery.

Assembly time depends on the size — storage boxes take 15–45 minutes, benches around 30–60 minutes, sheds and bin stores 2–3 hours with two people. Exact figure for this product is in the Full specification table below. Tools needed: a screwdriver and a spirit level. Prefer someone else to build it? Book a verified Tasker via Taskrabbit.
A level, solid surface gives the best result for sheds and larger storage units — concrete slab, paving flags, or a pressure-treated timber base all work. Storage boxes sit on any level paved or decked surface. If the ground isn't level, panels won't line up cleanly and the unit won't be fully weathertight.
