Small Livestock? GET THESE! Port-A-Hut review from non-rich people!

We picked up these Port-A-Hut small shelters today and got rid of our old goat shelters that were an eye sore. These things are the perfect size, they're sturdy, and they look good in your pasture. They're thin so I don't think they will get crazy hot in the summer time but they're also curved so they're super strong. I think the goats will be able to jump on them without doing any damage. Overall, I think these were a great buy. Time will tell! These are a great addition to a small farm or homestead because they cover a decent amount of square footage, they look good, but overall they don’t take up a ton of space. I highly recommend them! Can’t go wrong with the look of galvanized steel, it’ll look good for years.

Is that safe to burn that wood with the chemicals and resins? I always have to think about all that crap going onto the grass and then the animals eating it. Those shelters look great and will probably last about a hundred years. You might be able to make some kind of platform between them so that the goats can climb up there and not ruin the shelters right away. They seem to want to get up on top of things and even climb into trees if you have them. Look for some metal roofing scrap or something that won't rot like that other thing.

I have actually thought of just screwing together some old 2x10’s I’ve had out there that’s just junk lumber at this point. Just spanning the tops of the two shelters. I guess I will just wait and see if they start jumping all over them after the dark brown goat has her babies in a couple days. As far as the chemicals, I don’t really think about that. It’s just wood, none of it was pressure treated, and the glue or whatever holds the plywood together has been long gone for a while. The only thing I really worry about is them eating or laying on all the screws.

I elevated my mom's metal shed chicken coup so air could flow through it. Hopefully, it works for you too.

Our only objection is the head room. We can no longer crawl in to check on a Goat. 6 foot tall would make them acceptable. (some folks get old and stiff)

That’s true but these are the smallest size. Port a hut makes several different sizes all the way up to accommodating standing ostriches!
