When we got our sheep, we needed somewhere for them to get out of the elements.
For starters, we wanted a shelter that would get them out of the sun or out of the rain when they need to. We will have to make it even better for the upcoming cold winter months, but here is what we put up quick to get them started.
With items like scrap metal and old pallets available nearby, I had most of the building materials already.
These may not exactly look like prime building materials, but we live up in the Ozarks, and rustic is a good look.
This was also an opportunity to teach the 
By attaching five pallets to form a large rectangle, the shelter will have an open front for the animals to enter and exit.
By adding a few longer boards across the top, I was able to stabilize the structure and also to provide some struts to screw the roof onto.
At this point the basic form was already created and we just needed to affix the metal for the roof.
The metal was cut at a sharp angle, but I found two sheets that could work well together to make a solid roof.
Interestingly enough, the screws that I used were also salvaged, so our investment in this shelter was nothing more than time.
After a little trimming of one end of the metal, the roof was perfect!
With just a little effort and some picking up of free resources, we were able to build this simple shelter for our sheep. It may not be the prettiest, but it gets them out of the rain and provides some shade for them. We will either make some better or add to this one to help provide a warmer place for them to get out of the cold wind this winter, but so far the sheep like it!
