• The shelter is delivered in a securely packaged box, handled by a forwarding agent. This approach guarantees a safe and efficient delivery process, reducing the risk of damage during transportation.
• The shelter is packed in sturdy load-bearing steel boxes, adding an extra layer of protection during transit. This packaging further safeguards the shelter components until they reach your location.

Yes, even for small farms, livestock shelters can be a valuable investment. They protect animals from harsh weather, reduce stress and illness, and improve overall welfare, which can lead to better productivity and lower veterinary costs. Shelters also help with feed and equipment storage, making farm operations more efficient. While the upfront cost varies, the long-term benefits in animal health, productivity, and farm management often outweigh the initial expense.

The size of a livestock shelter depends on the type and number of animals you plan to house, as well as how long they’ll stay inside. As a general guideline:

Cattle: Allow roughly 80–100 sq ft (7–9 m²) per adult animal in an open-sided or enclosed shelter.

Sheep: Around 15–20 sq ft (1.5–2 m²) per adult sheep.

Goats: Around 10–15 sq ft (1–1.5 m²) per adult goat.

If animals spend more time indoors or if you store feed and equipment inside, you may need extra space. It’s always best to size slightly larger than your minimum requirement to improve airflow and animal comfort. For custom recommendations, consult your supplier or local agricultural guidelines.

Enclosed livestock shelters offer several key benefits for farmers and animals alike:

• Weather Protection: Shield animals from wind, rain, snow, and extreme temperatures.
• Improved Animal Welfare: A stable, sheltered environment reduces stress and illness, supporting better productivity.
• Ventilation & Cleanliness: Properly designed shelters manage airflow and reduce moisture build-up, improving hygiene.
• Feed & Equipment Storage: Extra covered space for hay, feed, and machinery helps streamline farm operations.
• Versatility: Suitable for a wide range of livestock — cattle, sheep, goats, and more — as well as multipurpose farm use.
• Durability: Quality enclosed shelters are built to last, offering long-term value and lower maintenance costs.

These advantages make enclosed shelters a strong investment for both small and large farming operations

Enclosed shelters act as a barrier between animals and harsh conditions. They:

• Block wind, rain, and snow: Solid walls and durable coverings reduce exposure to cold, wet, or windy conditions.
• Maintain a more stable temperature: Enclosed spaces hold warmth in winter and provide shade in summer, helping animals regulate body temperature.
• Reduce moisture and drafts: Proper ventilation prevents dampness, condensation, and mold growth, which can lead to illness.
• Provide a dry resting area: A protected interior keeps bedding and feed dry, reducing stress and improving animal welfare.
• Increase safety during storms: Animals are shielded from flying debris and other hazards common in severe weather.

Kit Buildings uses galvanized steel frames with heavy-duty PVC cladding for strength, durability, and cost efficiency. This combination resists rust, pests, and rot, while offering easy maintenance and quick installation. We also offer concrete or packed-earth bases depending on site requirements.

Planning permission requirements vary by country and region. In many areas, agricultural structures are allowed under permitted development, but size, location, and use can affect this. Kit Buildings supplies detailed technical drawings and specifications to help you check with your local authority and ensure compliance before installation.

Yes. Kit Buildings’ enclosed shelters are designed for all-season use.
