What are some popular paddock shelter design options?

Gable Roof Paddock Shelters

Looking for a classic touch? Our Gable Roof Paddock Shelters could be your match. They have that traditional, symmetrical look that never goes out of style. Plus, their high-peaked roof is great for airflow and rainwater runoff. A solid choice for any weather.

Skillion Roof Paddock Shelters

If you're after something sleek and modern, our Skillion Roof Paddock Shelters are worth a look. With a single, slanted roof, they're not just stylish – they're practical, too. You can set the slope to shield your horses from wind, and maintenance is as easy as a quick hose down.

Mono-Pitched Paddock Shelters

Need room to move? Our Mono-Pitched Paddock Shelters are your go-to. They've got a taller side for extra headroom, making them perfect for bigger horses or if you've got a few. The single-sloping roof sends rainwater packing, and the open front means easy in, easy out. It's all about function and space with this one.

 

 

FAQs about building paddock shelters

Do you need planning permission to build a paddock shelter?

Most likely, yes. Even small additions usually need approval. This applies to all permanent equestrian buildings. So, check in with your local council first.

What size are paddock shelters?

At Fair Dinkum Builds, we know that every paddock has its own unique charm. That's why we don't do the standard 'one-size-fits-all' thing. Instead, we listen to your needs and tailor-make a shelter that's perfect for your landscape.

How much does it cost to build paddock shelters?

The cost of your paddock shelter depends on its size, the materials we use, and any personal touches you want to add. But don't stress - we're all about delivering top quality without making your wallet cry. Give us the specifics of what you need, and we'll give you a detailed quote that won't leave you guessing.
