Good luck

Materials - 3 cattle panels - the 50"X16′ ones; plastic and tarp, baling twine, tent stakes, 1 sheet of plywood, wire.

Starting this is the hardest part - take a cattle panel and you’re going to make an upside down U with the open end on the ground 8′ apart. Stake it; on one end (prevailing wind side) wire the plywood to the panel. There will be an open space at the top you can cut something to fit it in cold weather if desired or leave it as is for ventilation. Once these are wired and secure on the open end put another panel - secure it with tent stakes and wire it to the first. Repeat on the third one. Cover the whole thing with plastic (better for shedding water) then the tarp…zigzag baling twine across it and tie it down securely.

I used this for standard dairy goats, housing the milking stand and hay/feed, housing kids. It stood up to 60-70 mph winds (positioning is key!). You can also use another sheet of plywood and enclose it and put a door on that end. I left it open and just ran a couple pallets along it to keep critters out - and if you already have a few panels sitting around this is REALLY cheap. In cold weather it was always a bit warmer inside than out - without heaters. Warmer weather at times it could get a bit stuffy but if you alter it to where that top area in the back is open that should provide enough of a breeze/ventilation area it won’t be as bad. It sheds rain and snow and kept the hay inside dry. When it wasn’t needed simply take the whole thing apart, use the materials elsewhere and it’s like it never existed. Mine stood independently - I didn’t have a barn. The goats had wood shelters but they cost more than this!

I have another one too I’ve used - shelters that are open on one side - like a small scale 3 sided shelter. They were about 4X8′ - back was 3-1/2′ front was 4′. Full sized dairy goat bucks easily rested in them as did large breed rams. They’d also work for calves. I just made a 2X4 frame for the back, roof, front. On the roof and back I used "seconds" of tin (cut crooked - the goats didn’t care!) like normally used for roofing/barns. One end I used tin the other end I used a pallet. The front was open so they could come in or out and so one boss couldn’t keep the others out. They were freestanding and used in Oklahoma - worked well in high winds (they weren’t high enough to catch the wind), were small enough to be portable (two people or an ATV would move them) and yet sturdy enough to look decent and give the goats a place out of the sun, rain and snow. There was an article about this in a back issue of Countryside magazine with pictures in it - it’s not online. The whole thing, including purchasing lumber, nails etc ran about $200 for 2 shelters…took about 3 hours to make. (I’m not going to claim being a whiz builder either!).

I’m not sure if either of these would help you but I know they work for goats because I’ve done it.
