Our new goat shelter...expanded

[Catahoula]

I would still be very careful when climbing up on top of it. I supposed we could make a square building but this seem nicer. I do realize maybe with couple more hundred dollars, we could buy one... Overall, it was a fun project and we enjoyed it.

How Cool! A quonset hut for goats! Something a military brat from the 50's would recognize... having spent many a day in one.

Congrats on a beautiful set up. Keep all of us posted as to how your goats do with it. I'm looking forward to what you dream up for your hay feeder. If we all could tap into your brain! What a thought!

Thanks! I still like it very much even though it will be too small. We are going to modify it so the goats will have more covered/secure area.

I just wanted to update this post with our shelter expansion. I have four goats now and the dome shelter is barely big enough to house them. I needed more room especially during bad weather. We ended up getting a metal carport and places it in front of the dome. I moved the food and water out to the carport area, divided the space up. I don't feel bad if they were confined in this shelter in bad weather now.

The moral of this project is to build as big as you think you'll need and build bigger that that!
