TIMBER FIELD SHELTERS

Timber field shelters for year-round turnout

Open-fronted or enclosed field shelters that protect horses from wind, rain and sun while keeping them turned out. Built in robust timber by a Devon-based team working across the West Country, the UK and the Channel Islands.

A shelter designed for your paddock

Every field shelter we build is designed for its spot: which way it faces, how exposed the field is, how many horses will use it and how you’ll get in to muck out.

Choose an open-fronted three-sided shelter, or add doors and partitions so it can double as a stable or a store when you need it.

Field shelter options

  • Open-fronted three-sided shelters
  • Shelters with partitions for more than one group
  • Enclosed shelters with doors that can double as stables
  • Built-in tack or feed storage at one end
  • Guttering and rainwater harvesting
  • Solar panels on the roof

Built for the West Country weather

Our field shelters are robust timber buildings made for the West Country climate, giving horses dependable protection all year round.

Need more than a shelter? We also design timber stables and American barns, and can plan your shelter as part of a wider yard.

Do field shelters need planning permission?

It depends on the size of the shelter, whether it’s fixed and how the land is used. We can advise you at the consultation stage and prepare the planning application if one is needed.

Use us for the whole project, or just the stages you need. We offer an independent, unbiased design consultation, design and drawings, planning applications and structural calculations, right through to building and fitting out. We can also design in solar panels and rainwater harvesting from the start, so your building is future-proofed rather than retro-fitted.
