Cool!

I used old pallets to create a goat pen but never thought to use then to make a shelter. This is a great idea I am going to try out! Thanks.

That looks fantastic. How many goats live in it? Can you lock them in? We are getting ready to build our goats new houses. Always looking for great ideas like yours.

Right now, it is just for 1 doe that we recently acquired and have separate from the main herd. In the future, I expect it will be for 2 bucks (as long as they get along). I think 3 goats could share it without too much problem. I'm going to make 2 or 3 more to add options to our pen/shelter/fencing plans.

I did not build any kind of door on it, but it wouldn't be too hard to put on some brackets that can hold a pallet across the opening. I didn't make that provision because we are building a separate stall in the goat barn for isolation if needed and in a crisis, could use a horse stall as well.

That looks awesome! I would have never thought of doing that.

I do have a question though, I showed this to a friend and she asked if you've ever had one get a leg caught up on the inside since there's the spaces in the pallet?
