Field Shelters
Longcross Stables’ collection of field shelters provide practical, year-round protection for your horses and livestock. Each shelter is hand-built in Somerset by our experienced team and crafted from fully pressure-treated timber. Our structures are designed to stand up to the British weather while offering a comfortable, secure environment for animals out in the field.
If you require a compact horse field shelter, a double unit for multiple horses, or a portable option for flexible grazing, our range combines durability, convenience and practical design. Our field shelters are also skid mounted, making it incredibly easy to move them about as required.

What is in our equine field shelters?
Each of our equine field shelters benefits from high-quality materials chosen for strength, function and longevity. We’ve got many years of experience in building high-grade structures for horses, so we know exactly what works and what doesn’t.
All of our field shelters are made using:
- Fully pressure-treated TANALITH E timber used throughout
- 19mm featheredge or shiplap cladding, depending on your preference
- Robust 75mm x 50mm framing at 600mm centres
- 100mm x 50mm roof supports in tanalised redwood
- Corrugated Onduline roofing with a translucent roof light as standard
- 15mm OSB kickboards to 1220mm high, with extended lining available
- 112mm guttering and downpipes fitted to the front
- 4ft roof canopy supplied as standard for extra protection.
Optional extras, such as metal anti-chew strips and galvanised yard gates, are available for those requiring additional durability or security.
Practical protection for your horses
Our shelters are designed to provide reliable cover in any weather. A well-built mobile field shelter for horses gives your animals the freedom to move, rest and adapt to changing conditions, throughout winter, summer, and the rest of the year.
All of our shelters come mounted on heavy-duty skids, which allows them to be moved when grazing areas shift or access requirements change. These moveable shelters offer the perfect combination of sturdiness and mobility, suitable for year-round turnout, temporary stabling or longer-term placement in the field.
Flexible layouts and custom designs
Every horse and every field is different, so your shelter needs to work for your setup. We thoroughly enjoy the process of designing and building custom shelters for horses and other animals, and we’re here to help deliver the structure that works best for your horses and your property.
We can create:
- Single and double field shelter layouts
- Larger shelters with integrated tack rooms or hay storage
- Open-front, gated or partitioned spaces
- Bespoke openings, overhangs or cladding options
- Fully custom field shelters designed around your exact requirements.
If you have a specific layout in mind, our team will work with you to turn your idea into a durable and practical build that fits your horses and your land.

In most circumstances a static building will require planning permission, most mobile buildings will not. Please call us for further advice.
A concrete base is best for stables but a hard-core base can be adequate in some circumstances. Don’t hesitate to contact us for advice on all aspects of groundworks.
We don’t carry out groundwork except for brickwork where required. We can however recommend various contractors depending on your location.
It is definitely advisable to erect your building on a single course of bricks. This will give an effective water barrier and prolong the life of the building. We will gladly carry out this work ourselves if required.
We provide a free delivery and erection service to the counties of Somerset, Gloucestershire, Wiltshire, Dorset, Berkshire & Hampshire.
However we can deliver and erect our buildings throughout England and Wales, subject to an additional delivery charge, please contact us to discuss.
