As you can imagine, barns for animals come in a wide range of styles, sizes and prices – which is why working with a custom barn builder is the best route when bringing your own vision to life!

Affordable 3-Sided Horse Shelters

For warmer climates, a 3-sided horse shelter may be all you need to protect your beloved animals. More commonly known as a run-in shed, these popular outdoor horse shelters are an ideal option for budget-conscious owners. Not only do 3-sided horse shelters provide protection from the elements, but they also help shield your horses from pesky insects and other animals. With a three-sided shelter, you can create a space that is just the right size for your herd! While any structure with J&N can be fully customized, popular sizes for this layout include 10ft x 24ft, 14ft x 24ft, or 14ft x 30ft which is perfect for 1-3 horses.

Think of these outdoor animal shelters as open front sheds with three full walls, a sloped roof and open front. For an extra means of protection and style, consider adding an overhang to your 3-sided horse shelter! With so many color, structural, size and finishing choices, your possibilities are truly endless when designing a run-in shed for your horses with J&N.
