Morning all,
I have a small holding (1ha) with two pet Nigerian Dwarf Goats (well, about that size anyway [1.1m high at 2 years old] they were found on the side of the road and given to me to look after).
I am moving them into a new paddock (about 1000m2) and I am building them a new shelter, unfortunately the cost of building materials has somewhat skyrocketed and I don't want to spend a couple of $1000 for the shelter that likely won't look very good (there are no builders available here so it is DIY only).
I was thinking about using one of these
Greenhouse - Tunnel with a support structure inside (6 posts anchored into the ground with 3 75x50 rails on sides and back all bolted (using those pipe holders to the metal frame).
Anyone had any experience trying something like this? the wind can get to 100km/h but it is a little more sheltered than the house so hoping that won't be an issue, am I just wasting money going for the easy solution that will break in a few years? All help appreciated (including criticism).
Gisborne New Zealand - so Climate is warm and humid (30 degree summers and likely only drops below freezing about 3 or 4 times over winter [I can grow chillies all year round without a greenhouse, so warm). The location is full sun from dawn until about 3pm in winter and about 7pm in summer.
Uploaded a picture of the current shelter with a yellow highlight of where the new shelter will go (it is flat don't worry). Added a photo of the goats for those interested.
