The run-in shed is a great way to provide shelter for horses or livestock. The large openings provide easy access to the shelter and allow good air flow into the shelter.
Standard Run-in Shed Features
Front with one or two framed openings into the shelter
About 74" overhead opening clearance for standard shed; about 80" clearance for high wall shed
For 16' or shorter shelters, single opening up to 12' wide with a 2' wall on each side of the opening
For shelters longer than 16' choose between (1) a single opening with walls on the sides wider than 2' or (2) two openings with a 2' wall between the openings
No doors or windows
No floor
6' kick board around the inside (lower 2' pressure treated 5/8" plywood, upper 4' exterior grade 5/8" plywood)
Treated 4x4 base below the walls (transport skids removed when in place)
Architectural shingles
Carriage shed style standard but can be done in another shed style
Two options to consider:
Corner hooks that can be used as tiedowns or to move the shelter, though will need to use care when moving (add $110)
If the run-in shed is for horses, steers, or other large animals we recommend the high wall version of the shed (6" higher, add 5% to the base cost)
