I don't have goats, but these are the shelters I have for my sheep:
The "Sheep Shack" -- 4x8x8 shelter made of plywood. Recently had an 8x8 addition onto it so it is now 8x16.
The "Sheep Shack" addition:
This is the "Sheep Apartment/Condo" -- It is 4x4x4. It also had an addition put on it (very temporary addition), so it is 4x4x8.
The addition on the "Sheep Apartment" -- kind of hard to see, but we laid a piece of plywood along the back of it, along the side, and along the top. So there are two sections they can go in.

10x10 shed attaché to back of garage. Use to be for the lawn mowers & yard equipment. Works very well for my small goat family.

I am looking for a small free or cheap shed locally figured i could disassemble it and build it where the goats would be
10x10 would be a good size

was looking on u-tube and saw some sheds and chicken coops made out of dis-assembled pallets. That might be a possibility for you.

I am new to these forums and am very interested to see other peoples goat houses. I am currently doing research into getting a couple of kinder goats but as I do not have a huge amount of space I was thinking about making a raised house for them with a ramp and high fences to make the most of the floor space. Do you think this would work?
I wouldn't worry about floor space. Goats and sheep don't require a lot of space. As long as you're willing to provide feed for them and pick up manure, two goats (and more, even) will be fine in a 16x16 pen with a small shelter.
