- DIY Goat Shelter Parts 5-6 |Nigerian Dwarf Goats| The RidgeStead
Welcome to The RidgeSteads DIY build of our Nigerian Dwarf goat shelter. In parts 5&6 we show how we put on a roof and made barn doors from scratch! Below is a link for the plans that we used to build this shelter along with a supplies list. We hope this helps anyone that is starting their homesteading journey with goats or any other animals that need a home!

solar lights are a great idea. I need to install some so I don't have to go out with a headlamp.
You should! We haven’t had to replace or put new batteries in since we installed. Plus this has a timer on it so we can leave it on for as little or long as we need then it shuts off.
Great video! upload more!!
Will do. More coming!
@@theridgestead amazing! Also idk if you have previously mentioned this, but what’s the total estimate of how much you spent to build?
@@SucessScript at the time with Covid prices it was up there. Think Atleast 750 plus. Wasn’t a budget build that’s for sure…. Could have been cheaper if I didn’t do pressure treated and a fancy door but I wanted it to last. Also wanted the sturdiness because we have some crazy winds and a wooded lot with branches falling.
That looks really good! Great job.
Thank you!
They are beautiful. Great job on their new home.
Thank you so much!
Nice first attempt at framing. Even if the 4x4 may be pressure treated it’s not a great idea to lay it on the dirt. Soil-bourne fungus eventually will destroy it. Lifting the structure onto six pyramid blocks will help solve this situation. Make sure you anchor it to the blocks.
Thanks for the tips!
It looks really good. I keep goats - we're in Ireland so the ground is much wetter! For us, having a floor we can clean is really important, as goats poo and wee a LOT!
Nice Job! I might be using this same plan for our NDG's in the future. Can you tell me what kind of fencing you have in the background?
Thank you! We are using Premier 1 electric netting. Permanet plus 12/48/3.
@@theridgestead Thanks!!
@@christianbrown3860 anytime!
Could you use this for horses if you added a window in the front, or would you think it’s too small?
Might be too small for a horse. The inside base is probably comparable to a horse stall but the roof comes down too far in the rear where it probably won’t be able to stand up inside the whole enclosure. But I also am not sure what size horses need for a barn! Raise the ceiling a bit and then sure? Haha
