best design for small cheap run-in shed

[Thinking small]

Anyone know if those canopy/car port shelters are available in Canada?

Their are we've had a few not for horses just storage of tractors and such. We lost most of them though, a freak winter storm years ago. We still have one left (different brand) but the darn door zippers are broke

but it keeps the big tractor covered plus holds some junk.

Here is one company

I can't recall the name of the one we still have standing.. try googling portable garages/carports .. since i know the one i posted isn't near you and the other company i am thinking of isn't close either.

Before we built our barn my husband simply built a simple 3 sided run in out of plywood. Very simple and very inexpensive and it worked great. When it came time to build our barn we were able to use Dock wood. We have customers on the lakes with very long docks and when they replaced their docks they gave us the wood. Its all good solid treated wood. It saved us a lot of money. I have 5 8x12 stalls on one side and 4 8x8 on the other side plus a nice sized feed room.

ok... pictures of MindyLee's little barns can be found HERE.

I would post them directly to forum but there are quite a few.

I think they look very nice and really are exactly what I was looking for.

MindyLee please feel free to post dimensions and whatever other info about them on here
