Our Amish-built Run-In Sheds provide essential shelter for horses, cattle, goats, and other livestock across Pennsylvania, Maryland, Delaware, and New Jersey. Designed with an open-front configuration that allows animals to move freely while staying protected from rain, snow, wind, and harsh sun, these durable structures are built to withstand years of farm use and extreme weather conditions.
Each run-in shed features premium construction with LP SmartSide wood siding or traditional pine board & batten, pressure-treated skids for long-lasting stability, and natural ventilation that promotes animal health. For enhanced functionality, we offer interior stall divisions with 4-foot Dutch doors—perfect for separating animals during feeding, veterinary care, or foaling season—plus optional tack room additions for convenient equipment, feed, and saddle storage.
Whether you need a simple three-sided shelter for pasture horses, a divided stall system for breeding operations, or a combination shelter and tack room for your property, our customizable run-in sheds can be tailored to your specific livestock management needs, farm layout, and climate requirements. Available in sizes from 6×8 to 12×48 to accommodate one horse or an entire herd.

Run-In Shed Applications
Versatile structures for various livestock scenarios and farm operations
Horse Shelter
Perfect for pasture horses, turnout shelters, breeding mares, foaling areas, and retired horses. The open-front design provides protection from flies, sun, rain, and wind while allowing natural herd behavior. Horses can enter and exit freely, reducing stress and promoting healthy socialization. Add interior stalls for foaling season or to separate horses during feeding and veterinary care.
Cattle & Large Livestock
Ideal for beef cattle, dairy cattle during turnout, calving pens, and feed storage. The sturdy construction withstands rubbing and leaning behavior typical of cattle. Wind protection and shade help maintain healthy weight gain and reduce cold stress during winter months. Larger width options (12' wide) accommodate multiple cattle comfortably with proper ventilation.
Small Livestock & Multi-Purpose
Excellent for goats, sheep, alpacas, llamas, donkeys, and miniature horses. The versatile design works for kidding pens, shearing areas, or general herd shelter. Can double as equipment storage, hay storage with proper ventilation, or combined livestock and tack space. Smaller sizes (6×8 to 10×12) work well for compact properties with limited space.
Equine Property Management
Perfect for horse boarding facilities, riding schools, therapeutic riding programs, and trail riding operations. The professional appearance enhances property value while providing client peace of mind. Multiple stall configurations allow flexible management of lesson horses, boarders, or breeding stock. Combined with tack rooms for efficient barn operations.
Built for Farm Life: Construction & Materials
Amish craftsmanship meets livestock-specific design requirements
Weather-Resistant Framework
Constructed with pressure-treated lumber rated for ground contact and outdoor exposure. Heavy-duty pressure-treated 4×6 skids provide long-lasting foundation stability without concrete footings. Reinforced framing at 16" on center supports snow loads and daily farm use. All structural components use corrosion-resistant fasteners and galvanized hardware to prevent rust and degradation over decades of service.
Premium Wood Siding Options
LP SmartSide panels with SmartGuard technology resist rot, moisture, and insect damage with a 50-year warranty. Installed over 2×4 wall framing at 16" on center for superior strength. Pine Board & Batten offers traditional rustic barn appeal with additional 2' on center horizontal framing for classic durability. Both siding options are horse-safe materials that resist chewing—no vinyl siding that horses can damage or ingest.
Roofing & Ventilation
Asphalt shingles provide weatherproof, impact-resistant protection in base package (20-30 year lifespan). Optional metal roofing upgrade offers 40-50 year durability with superior snow shedding and weather resistance. The open-front design ensures natural airflow that reduces moisture accumulation and ammonia buildup—critical for preventing respiratory issues in horses and livestock. Proper ventilation maintains healthy environment year-round.
Flexible Stall Layouts
Customize interior divisions for your specific livestock management needs
Run-In Sheds 20 feet or longer can be divided into individual stalls with dividers and 4-foot Dutch doors for flexible livestock management. Stall divisions are ideal when you need to separate animals during feeding time (prevents aggression and food competition), isolate horses for veterinary care or quarantine, create dedicated foaling stalls for pregnant mares, or manage aggressive horses that require individual space.
Standard Stall Configurations
- 20-28 ft:Two stalls (10-14 ft per stall) — Example: 10×24 = Two 10×12 stalls
- 30-38 ft:Three stalls (10-12.67 ft per stall) — Example: 10×30 = Three 10×10 stalls
- 40-48 ft:Four stalls (10-12 ft per stall) — Example: 10×40 = Four 10×10 stalls
✨Custom Layout Flexibility
Not limited to equal divisions! We can customize stall sizes based on your specific needs. For example, a 10×30 shed can be configured as:
- • Three 10×10 stalls (standard equal division)
- • Two stalls: 10×12 + 10×18 (smaller stall for pony, larger for warmblood)
- • One 10×14 stall + one 10×16 stall (unequal but functional)
- • Two 10×10 stalls + one 10×10 tack room (combined storage and shelter)
Perfect for accommodating horses of different sizes, adding dedicated tack rooms, or creating foaling stalls with extra space. Contact us to discuss your custom stall layout requirements.
Dutch Door Benefits
Each stall can include a 4-foot Dutch door (divided horizontally). The top half opens independently for ventilation, visibility, and horse socialization while the bottom half keeps animals securely contained. This design allows feeding over the door to reduce waste, provides comfortable observation during foaling, and enables social interaction between stalled horses without physical contact. See Upgrade Options section for Dutch door pricing.
Choosing the Right Size
Select dimensions based on your livestock type, herd size, and property needs
Single Horse / Small Livestock
Sizes: 6×8, 8×8, 8×10, 8×12 work for one horse, 2-3 goats, or small livestock operations.
Compact footprint makes placement easier on smaller properties or paddocks. Ideal for miniature horses, single pasture horses, or backyard goat shelters. Cost-effective entry point for first-time livestock owners.
Two Horses / Medium Operations
Sizes: 10×20, 10×24, 12×24 accommodate two horses comfortably or 4-6 goats with room to move.
Can be divided into two individual stalls (10×10 to 12×12 per horse) with Dutch doors for separate feeding and management. Popular size for small breeding operations, companion horses, or growing herds. Balances functionality with affordability.
Multiple Horses / Large Herds
Sizes: 10×30, 10×40, 12×40, 12×48 for three or more horses, cattle herds, or large livestock operations.
Three to four stall configurations available with flexible layout options. Perfect for boarding facilities, riding schools, breeding farms, or properties with multiple animals. Allows combination of stalls and tack room space for efficient barn management.
📏Planning Considerations
- Square footage per horse: General guideline of 100-150 square feet provides comfortable space (10×12 = 120 sq ft works well for average horse)
- Stall depth: Plan for 10-12 feet of length per stall for horses to turn around and lie down comfortably
- Width selection: 10' width works for average horses and most livestock. Choose 12' width for draft horses, large warmbloods, cattle, or when you want extra interior space
- Future expansion: Consider starting with a larger shed than currently needed to accommodate herd growth, breeding operations, or adding tack room space later
