As title. For an old girlie 14hh and a 16hh youngster. They get on well so not worried if it is a little snug. Would like something on skids but not essential. Need it delivered but could DIY build it. Surrey area for delivery.. Thankies:)
 
Recently we bought ready made stables for my horses as we were convinced there was no way we'd ever manage to make anything....
Then we decided we needed storage so got 4 thick posts (like telegraph posts) put a frame top and bottom and middle just 3 sides (fencing rails)- we had some old corrugated metal stuff but you could use wood or something and filled in the lower half then put wood planks from the middle rail to the roof. It was very easy and very cheap compared to buying- we are planning on doing another now as a field shelter.
 
That would be great but I am no good at that sort of thing and nor is my OH:rolleyes: We might manage a kit one ready to put up, but I think from his DIY efforts in the past we might be there till Christmas and then it would fall down by New Year:eek: Bless him.
 
Ascot buildings at Fernhurst, their Windsor range are very well built (thats the cheaper range tho not as cheap as some other makers). VERY happy to recco, as had really good response from them to replace my 45yr+ old one earlier this year - and have had a portable one arrive 2 weeks ago too.
Speak to Sally or Michelle in their office.
They do free delivery within xyz area (Surrey/Sussex etc)

Thank you both of those websites look hopeful. I have emailed them both. A recommendation is always helpful:)

Very pleased had double shelter 6 years ago and its still as new metal skids and huge tow chain. I paid extra for over hang at front and we put our own guttering on. really nice company and our local farmer thought it was really well built compared to some of the others he had seen. Still looks as new its lined as well half way up(boarded too).
