This is a great design! Thanks for sharing it. My only suggestions for improvement is on the gate/door (and even this might not be needful for everyone). Unless your paddock setup provides a fenced separation between the stall and the storage room, I’d suggest using Dutch doors on the storage unit. When you are in there, you’ll need light. If you have to keep the door open for that light, you’ll likely have a lot of company! My Nubian goats are like puppies — they love to be wherever I am — so I’ve started using Dutch doors on nearly all my buildings for this reason. The second suggestion is similar but for a different reason: put an upper gate on your stall as well. In my area we have a heavy predator load (cougar, bobcat, coyote and even the occasional wolf). I keep several guardian dogs — but having the ability to completely close the stall is just an added layer of security. The double gate (“Dutch”) enables me to do this. It is also handy when I need to isolate an animal due to illness or kidding. They still get sunshine and air if the upper gate is open, but they are securely contained by the lower door. All in all, to me it’s not a lot of work for the added benefits.

Great project!! No major hiccups, order list was spot on. Only needed the tools I already had on hand. Couldn’t ask for a better finished product for the plan. We used the T-1 11 cut out on the pen as a Dutch door and added some latches to hold it open. Also added some shelving in the hay storage for treats, halters and leashes. Hung a white board for keeping track of meds and birthdays too.
Thank you so much for putting these plans out there it saved us thousands of dollars and made me a hero to my wife and kids!
If I could add photos I would in a heartbeat!!

I have a question…. might be silly by how did you attach the shelter to the ground? I was thinking about using cement blocks to attach the 4×6 base…. I was told to cement 4×4’s as a post and cemented 24” deep into ground. Is this really necessary? I appreciate your feedback. I’m attempting this project by myself.
