Cattle panel shelter. livestock or cattle panels provide good shelter for the goats as the form of a half moon shelter. creating such a shelter is very easy. you can create a panel shelter in a fixed location with a wooden frame or t-posts. this type of shelters are portable. you can move the shelters from one place to another place, if you. In answer to your question about the goats climbing on the shelter: "yes." when my son came home the other evening, he commented that he saw a couple of the goats laying on top of the shelter. the next morning, the front two panels were on the ground, along with the tarp (ours is five panels deep).. This keeps the goats from jumping on it and the panels giving way under the weight of the goats. i do this to each of the corners. finally i put the tarp over the panels and attached both ends and the sides to the panels with cable ties..
That said, goat shelter doesn't need to be elaborate. a hoop house can provide enough shelter for goats. and during the grazing season, trees or windbreaks, a three-sided shed, or a pole barn with just a roof may be enough for your goats.. A line of 4�x16� cattle panels bent into hoops, held in place with rebar pounded into ground, makes an easy shelter with tarps or plastic lashed on top.. A look at a simple sheep shelter i built using cattle panels a tarp and a couple boards. oh yeah a few nails and of course bailing wire..
