Run-In Basic

The Basic Run-In Shed is a strong, aesthetically pleasing shelter designed for livestock, but adaptable enough for just about anything. The practicality of this model lies within the versatility, permanence, and price point. This basic version of the Run-In Shed is the perfect horse and livestock shelter or work bay. Consider upgrading to a Standard Run-In Shed if you’d like more mobility, structural integrity, or a kickplate. Is your horse anxiously waiting for a warm, dry place to seek shelter from the next storm?

Whether raising chickens and rabbits or cows and horses, protection from the elements is essential for keeping animals healthy and productive. If you raise large livestock animals that are sensitive to rain, wind and hot sun, setting up a sturdy barn is one of the best investments you can make in your animals’ health. Some may require stall barn shelter for nightly quarters as well as day shelter such as a portable prefab loafing shed. If you keep horses or other animals that like to roam, consider a run-in shed. These provide the same reliable protection from wind and rain but allow more freedom.

From the smallest chicken coops to the largest stall barns, our buildings are made from rot-resistant Vermont Hemlock and Pine providing sufficiently warm, dry, and well-ventilated conditions to fit your livestock needs. Their simple interiors are easy to clean, helping to protect your animals from disease and parasites. They’re also structurally sound enough to keep out large or crafty predators such as foxes and raccoons.

Offered as frame only kits, complete pre-cut kits or step-by-step plans nationwide, our outdoor post and beam livestock solutions reflect the quality craftsmanship and traditional aesthetic of colonial New England. If you live in our Northeast delivery area, consider purchasing fully assembled and delivered to your prepared site. The natural wood tones of Vermont pine and hemlock are attractive by themselves, but the buildings are easily painted to harmonize with your home. Black hinges, latches, and other hardware add a touch of rustic elegance. Browse our livestock kits, plans, and prefab models today to get started.
