Field Shelter for Sale in the UK

Field shelters for sale throughout the UK are on the rise. But why would I need a field shelter, you ask? If you don’t own a horse, pony or a similar kind of animal then you probably don’t, or at least not for the purpose it was intended for (they may make a nice place to store a quad though). However if you do own a lovely animal companion of the previous description, then you may find a field shelter very useful indeed.

What is a field shelter? It’s a simple yet permanent wooden structure that can either be fixed into a concrete foundation, or else used with a handy-dandy foundation back to help keep it secured to the floor.

The primary use of such shelters is found more or less in the name, they’re shelters that you place on the field. Cheap and lightweight, they’re easy to assemble and cheap to purchase.

Field shelters tend to be fairly simple in their build, and are not really intended to serve as an alternative to stables. Rather, they’re more a place for animals to be sheltered during wet or stormy weather, or else as a temporary shelter while stables are being cleaned out or repaired. This makes them ideal for building up additional space to keep animals in, although that’s not all they can be used for.

Another use that people looking for field shelters for sale often find in such objects is for additional storage space. Field shelters are fairly large and spacious; as a result they make it ideal for storing large objects or objects that must be stored in large quantities. Things such as bales of hay, bags of feed, equipment for cleaning the stables and whatnot can be stored in field shelters where they will be kept safe and dry.

This is much easier and cheaper than forking out to pay for the construction of a new single-purpose barn or hayloft. Bear in mind that field shelters are permanent structures, and so will need planning permission before they can be built. Make sure that you have all the relevant paperwork before purchase.
