Open Timber Apex Shelter 12′×18′

Open Timber Apex Shelter 12′ × 18′

Open Timber Apex Shelter 12′ × 18′ provides reliable outdoor protection for horses and livestock while offering additional internal space compared with smaller shelters. The traditional apex roof design creates a higher central ridge, improving airflow and giving animals more comfortable headroom.

This apex field shelter works well in paddocks, grazing fields, and rural properties where dependable weather protection is needed. The open front design allows animals to move freely while still benefiting from solid shelter against wind and rain.

Strong and Practical Construction

This timber horse shelter is built using pressure-treated CLS framing designed to withstand demanding outdoor conditions. Combined with C24 graded roof purlins, the structure provides dependable durability for long-term agricultural use.

The premium black plastisol-coated steel roof includes an anti-condensation lining that helps reduce internal moisture build-up. As a result, the shelter remains drier and more comfortable for animals during changing weather.

Galvanised metal cover strips protect the rear corners of the building, while the apex roof profile ensures effective rainwater run-off and improved internal ventilation.
