Hello All
This is the start of a construction article that is made for the most part from scarp/salvaged materials. 
I am using it for goats but I also want it big enough if needed I can shelter a horse under medical care in it closer to Camp than the barn ( Hope I never get one that sick)
For all of you other folk out there the size can be expanded within reason to make a tractor shed,wood shed,coal shed ,etc. YOU could even camp in one. 
Moving on: My size needs.  8 foot wide X ten foot deep with a overhanging eve in front of about twenty inches.
To keep rain from blowing in and a mud hole from forming were the gate to get in and out is.
Center height close to nine foot and it will be a cathedral arch roof structure. Plenty of head room for a horse or tractor. 
The floor will be raised to allow drainage under plastic pallets covered with plywood them with 1/2 inch rubber mates.
Ok on with the Show:
I have some tube gate panels 8 and 10 foot long. That I am setting up and driving steel tee post at the joining corners then connecting the corners to the post to stabilize the whole base structure good enough to keep a horse in.

Next step: The Goat Inspection 


The Goats approve and like any Inspector have to trot off for Coffey and making deals with contractors.


The Cathedral Roof Structure (Cattle Panels 16 foot long by 50 inches wide) are arched over and fastened to the two top tubes on either side with weather proof "Black" Zip Ties. You will have to look close as the panels do blend in to good with the background cover.

Well Ya'll that is all for tonight's Redneck Goat Shed Construction Installment. 
Happy Trails
Tune in again for More on the Goat Shed Building Channel.
