Here's my hut it looks a little different now I cut off the bottom and reattached the pvc so the tarp goes to the ground and also replaced the tarp with a bigger one so its enclosed on 3 sides.

Anybody else got any cool ideas they want to share.........This is a great thing to share with everyone.........lol.

Also for stalls you can take pallets and nail them together and use some tin to make a roof....I will try to take some pics and post them.

before anyone says anything that is a gelding and a stallion playing in the back LOL.

That is pretty cool. What is it made of? Did you make it yourself or did you buy it like that from someone.....

this is their smaller one so its all one piece. we bought it direct from port a hut as that is cheaper. They were at equine affair etc. I only wish I had bought more then one!! It comes with the stakes to stake it down but we love it because they are so easy to move around

I, too, am interested in those port-a-huts. We have one mini as a pet....he's in with our three pygmy goats... and I currently have the barn sectioned off...keep one of the sliders open, so they can come and go as they please. But in the winters, I would really love to shut that door to keep out the wind! So was just thinking of plans to make a mini sized lean to....but these look like they'd be great! What's the cost of something like that and who carries them? I am in southern WI...have not seen them for sale around here...but have not looked either.

Thanks! I love this post already!! I'd surely share if I had something neat enough to share!

i believe i paid 250 or right around there, but that was 2.5 yrs ago. This fit in the back of our pick up truck. I had a friend order one in illinois and I believe they had it shipped. We did save money by buying it and picking it up at a show in illinois but they do have standard drop off spots all over the US.

This thing fits a ton of minis in it LOL. They even use it a lot during the summer because flies wont go in it. My farrier says the flies wont go in because its dark.

Next time patches gets in ill take a pic. Its hilarious seeing this big shetland peeking out of there biggrin.gif

I believe if you do a net search you will find the port a hut webiste

heres the website. these are also the people that make those little indivual huts that people like for minis

My husband has made just about everything here, except for the fencing. Inside of our loafing sheds I have an inside grain feeder. It runs the length of the barn, and I like to spread the feed out so they can't just gobble it down by the mouthful.

This is the hay feeder I use in my pens, and I also use the smaller wooden stands for the black plastic grain tubs. I really like the height of them.

This is a photo of the steel grates my husband makes. They work great to hold in the hay. These are old ones I used when we had alpacas, and if I ever had him remake them for me, I'd have him make the holes a little smaller.

This is just one of those black rubber water tubs. My husband made a steel grate that fits inside, and it holds the hay down great! This is one of the newer grates he made for me, and the holes are smaller. They can get their nose down in there, but the smaller size hole keeps them from opening their mouth to pull out more than they can chew at one time. I think I like this feeder best because it's rubber, and it can be hosed out too. The little guy in this photo is notorious for pulling out all his hay to get to the chafe, and then then he pushes it out with his nose. Can't do that with this feeder! He ends up with very little hay on the ground, just what drops out of his mouth as he chews.
