Chillin' with the herd
Hello everyone. I'm new hear but I have been lurking for a long time. I thought that my shelter idea might help someone else so I thought I would post some pictures.
I work for a garage door company here in northern California so what I did was have our technician save me the old one piece garage doors that were being replaced with new doors (*Just ask your local garage door dealer to save them for you and most will because we have to pay to dump them anyhow). I used a 16' x 7' for the back wall and roof. The two side walls are 8' x 7' and then the front wall is a 10' x 7' so it leaves a nice 6' opening. On the inside we used pallets with plywood to make a false bottom floor and then framed in a 32" x 32" box for storage. One cool idea that my boyfriend thought of was the storage box not only opens at the top but he also made part of the front wall fold down so that when you have a bale of alfalfa you just slide it in instead of having to lift it up and over. You can see pictures here. https://picasaweb.google.com/tiana2...authkey=Gv1sRgCMOBrdW-2J71yQE&feat=directlink
So far I have 4 Barbados Ewes and they seem to enjoy there new home. Hope this helps some else.
