Temporary shelter ideas?

freedomfrom4 · #1 07/07/11, 10:01 AM

So I need ideas for temporary shelter on the neighbors property. I was thinking I could get them out every morning and send them over to the nieghbors piece of ground, but if it rains they need something to get in out of the rain. And I guess my idea is labor intensive. Any ideas?

hoop house, also very inexpensive however not as eye catching. You simply get a cattle panel, (16x4) and four T post or other suitable rods such as rebar make an arch and throw a tarp over it. Secure every eye to the panel, I personally use zip ties.

We use a hoop house for our girls works great

A hoop house like Cannon Farms is talking about would probly be your least labor or time intensive but I did build our bucks a lean too in their wooded pasture area in about 1/2 a day. Was not very exspensive because I only had to buy 2 4 X 8 sheets of wood & some 2 X 4's, the rolled roofing & pallets we had. If you do build a lean too, use screws so it will be easy to take apart if you no longer use the neighbors property later on.
