The goat shelter that I built is a very simple structure. This was constructed by building a pair of square frames 1.4m x 1.4m from DAR framing timber. The frames were then connected with a further four 1.4m pieces of framing timber. Resulting in the construction of a 1.4 x 1.4 x 1.4 m cube. The roof and floor of the structure were reinforced with an additional piece of framing timber.
A roof was made by nailing fence 1.8m long palings in two overlapping layers. The roof, then, is a fairly waterproof structure that overlaps the shelter by 20 cm all the way around.
Similarly, a single layer of 1.4m fence palings made a floor.
Three walls were enclosed with 1.4m long pieces of fence paling. An area of approximately 15cm was left uncovered underneath the eves of the shelter to provide ventilation.
The shelter was then mounted on about 20cm of cement blocks to keep the timber structure above the ground and (hopefully) reduce the likelihood of rot and extend the life of the shelter.
