Small Livestock Portable Shelter, 8x10x5 Round Reviews

4.7 Rating 14 Reviews
Having purchased 4 ShelterLogic products (including two of these shelters) for our small farm in the past three years, i am a big fan of SL products. This said, a small design change to this product would take its utility to a whole new level of utility. Moving the shelter from one pasture or paddock to the next can not readily be done by one person given the current design, at least not without weakening the framing. By adding lightweight "walker" wheels to one end, one peerson can easily move the shelter easily anywhere. See video. Had tried to send suggested adaptation along with one slight change needed in framing to your engineers but was advised that your engineers do not take calls. Would still love to assist in what is a simple but invaluable adaptation of a great product.

Assembly was exactly as advertised - about 2 hours with 2 people. Perfect size for 2 Angoran goats and 4 pigmy goats. Sturdy and easy to move between pens.

Directions were easy to understand. The sheep love it as shelter on hot days or rainy days. Some of the lambs try to climb on top of it so I have to make sure I keep the covering ratcheted tight, but so far it’s stood up to all the little hooves battering it. They do like to scratch on the inside poles so I’d recommend getting a scratching post to redirect that. It’s portable and I can drag it across the pasture when I rotate the sheep.

At first sight of the contents in the box I was overwhelmed by all of the parts! But stay calm, lay all the parts out according to their part number, follow the very good but simple directions and you will be rewarded with a great, portable shelter for your critters

I have sheep and goats who use the shelters. But they constantly rub against the cross members breaking the thin metal tubing. Luckily, 1 1/2" PVC pipe can be used to patch the metal frame work

A high quality product. Easy installation. Instructions to assemble are straightforward. Sheep are using it the first night available. First time I actually received two extra bolts from a manufacturer (I did not miss fastening any areas LOL ). We are ordering more for additional pastures.
