Ive never seen anything like it! Do they work?

Apparently they are much used for temporary stabling for stock cars! Or so I was told by the guy who saw the boxes mine has come in in the garage.

I was hoping to erect it this afternoon but one of my "team" has decided to go to a party instead - thank you SO much dear daughter! I'll let you know what it's like and whether the ponies approve, when it's up.

The ponies will love it, just make sure you get the back to the wind otherwise they take off like Mary Poppins and her umbrella! Secure it very firmly with at least 2' ground stakes driven in at an angle.

If they are like the ones we get the green tarp attracts more heat obviously, and has a slightly shorter life span than the white tarps.
We use our larger one as a drive shed.

Friend in Zelah bought one several years ago, brilliant. Never moved and no tears or weak spots, despite the number and size of animals that use it, and the severe winds we have had over the last few years.

Doesn't it make a noise in the wind or rain? Like a tent would? Can't see my two going in a big tent, for that reason. Wish they would though, looks like a good idea otherwise.

Noise? Yes it does, but you can bet that if there is hay in there to start with the horses will soon twig that they are out of the wind and they won't give two hoots. Tin rooves make a much worse noise.
