Field Shelters
Looking for a strong, practical field shelter in Hampshire? Hampshire Timber Buildings supplies timber field shelters for horses and livestock in a choice of useful sizes, with options to suit different paddocks, yards and rural settings.
Our range includes shelters from compact 12 x 12 buildings through to larger multi-bay sizes. If a standard size is not quite right, speak to us about the best configuration for your animals, site and access.
Field Shelters for Horses
A well-positioned shelter gives horses a protected place away from wind, rain and strong sun while allowing them to remain turned out. When choosing a shelter, consider the number and size of horses, field conditions, access and the direction of prevailing weather.
Mobile and Skid Options
The store includes timber skids, metal skids, towable metal skids and ground anchors. These can be discussed when choosing a shelter where mobility or extra anchoring is important. The right setup depends on the building, ground and intended use.

Frequently Asked Questions
What size field shelter do I need for my horses?
The right size depends on the number and size of horses, how they use the shelter and whether you want one open area or separate bays. Tell us how many animals you need to accommodate and we can help you choose an appropriate size.
Do you make bespoke field shelters?
Yes. Bespoke requirements can be discussed if the standard sizes shown on the site do not suit your field, animals or preferred layout.
Can a field shelter be made mobile?
The store offers timber skids, metal skids and towable metal skids. Whether a particular shelter can be configured as a movable structure depends on its size, setup, ground and intended use, so check the specification with us first.
Do field shelters need planning permission?
Planning requirements depend on the structure, use, location and individual site. Mobile and permanent structures can be treated differently. We recommend checking with your local planning authority before installation if you are unsure.
What should a field shelter stand on?
A firm, level and well-drained site is normally important for stability, access and long-term use. The exact base or preparation depends on the building and ground conditions.
Can you install the field shelter?
Hampshire Timber Buildings provides installation support within its service area. Contact us with your postcode and building choice so delivery and installation can be confirmed.
How should a field shelter be secured?
The appropriate method depends on the building and ground conditions. Ground anchors and skid options are available in the store and can be discussed for your site.
Can your shelters be used for livestock other than horses?
Many timber field shelters can be suitable for other livestock, subject to the size, layout and welfare requirements of the animals. Contact us with your intended use before ordering.
