Building Shelter Logic Corral for Calves 

We hope so! Always good to see something like this put together before buying, especially since it comes in a box! We were lucky to see one put up in the parking lot of our local farm store when we were considering it. We hope it holds up and will post updates.

You’re welcome! Make sure you keep it well anchored! Thanks for watching!

You’re welcome! Glad we could help!

Ha! That would be something. I added the disclaimer for transparency. I think viewers should know if we got paid or something for free. We'll update how it holds up. Thanks!

We do get snow, but built this shelter closer to spring this year. Only had a few inches since then and it melted quickly. I'll definitely give an update after this next winter. So far, though, we were both really impressed with the durability and stability of the structure. Using hose clamps to firmly connect the corral panel corners made it very stable. Good luck!!!

Blue Creek Dairy Farm WA thank you for the advice on the clamps will keep that in mind when I buy the panels and kit!!

You’re welcome! Anchor it well! It lasted a long time until it went end-over-end across our field in a windstorm. It was our fault though for not checking the anchors. Thanks for watching!

Awesome! Glad it is info you can use. We hoped it would be helpful for those looking for a pretty sturdy temporary shelter. We thought about building a wood run-in type structure, but didn't like how it would be pretty permanent. This structure can be taken apart and components used elsewhere. Plus, not cost prohibitive (especially if you already have some corral panels) and looks nice. We are still planning the large wood barn in 2019, but feel confident this will get us thru next summer. Will most likely buy another curved end panel to enclose the front top area for winter.

Do you have any photos or plans for your big wood barn you are going to build in 2019? Just curious. Thanks Blue Creek Dairy Farm WA

So far, the fabric is holding up ok. We're in our second winter. I wish we could buy individual panels of the enclosure kit, but was told we can't.

Yes, went together pretty well. Will look better with the calves in there!

Glad you enjoyed it!

That’s too bad! Ours lasted quite a few years, and even after the structure was destroyed, we continued to use the top as a tarp. Thanks for watching!

Thanks! The only constant is change! That includes costs unfortunately!

Great minds must think alike, lol Ive been saying, "The only constant is change" for yrs now, lol. To funny. And we just put one up here at the sanctuary for two horses here for only a couple of months. Excellent portable shelter.

Yes, Tarter is a mainstay of our local farm and ranch store. They even held up pretty well getting cartwheeled across the field in a windstorm! Haha! We still use two of the three! Thanks for watching!

Anchor is well! Haha!

We used the ground anchors that came with the kit. They worked well for a couple years until their was an unfortunate combination of high, gusty winds and saturated soil conditions! As a long term investment, you may want to upgrade your anchoring system. Overall, we were impressed with the Shelterlogic and would recommend it.

Dave Pruitt great question! We were wondering that too, but also needed something temporary because we are building our big wood barn in 2019. Thus, we didn’t want a wood structure that we’d have to take apart. Plus we can reuse all components of this corral elsewhere. The Shelter kit & enclosure kit together were $300, the three corral panels were about $200. Thanks

Blue Creek Dairy Farm WA Ahhhh....makes perfect sense.

I can certainly build something more durable for $500 but I am afraid it won't be this easy to remove or move around. The roof in this product I believe is easy to move

Us too! Looking forward to having you visit once we get them! :)

Denny's Country Life, so far it’s holding up pretty well. We’ve had a few thunderstorms blow through with no issues. We do have the opening facing away from the prevailing winds. Coincidentally, that also opens it to the morning sun and shades them in the afternoon, which worked out well.

The shelter worked great over the winter. No problem with the snow or ice. The top cover looks great. The side enclosure pieces will need to be replaced as some of them tore at the grommets due to wind, and the help of curious cows! The corral panels had no problems. Overall still very impressed with the kit and we will get at least another year out of the top cover, the top frame should last much longer.

So far it has done very well. This is our second winter and we do use the supplied tie downs. The top cover has held up great. The side enclosure kit does have some tears...but I'm sure part of that is help from the cows!

Yes, they are 12’ corral panels and 16’ cattle panels. Thanks for watching!

Clover Mountain Dairy do you think if it was anchored deeper with tposts would it of blown away? We get winds here in Oklahoma that can be up to 70 mph+...

It came with screw-in anchors, and our soil was super-saturated from recent heavy rains, and I think that contributed. I would look into heavier duty screw anchors. I don’t know what the wind rating of the actual structure is.

Pastel Lilac I think it would. The picture on the box has horses. They also market it that way on their website: www.shelterlogic.com/products/corral-shelter/

Blue Creek Dairy Farm WA thank you so much
