We built 3 simple shade shelters for our animals. They measure 20' X20' X 7'. Using 4 @ 8' 4X4 posts set in concrete, a frame was built using 20' 2X6's. The center dividers consist of one 20' 2X6 and two 10' 2X4's. The shade cloth was purchased from Gemplers and stretched across the surface being anchored down with 8' 2X1 furring strips. The wood all came from our local Home Depot. |
