Ranbuild horse and livestock shelters are available with either gable or skillion roofs

Freestanding or attached to existing sheds or stables, Ranbuild shelters are available with gable or skillion roofs to suit your property layout and specific needs. Our steel kit systems are designed for DIY installation, while your local Ranbuild team can also assist with professional installation if you prefer.

Each paddock shelter features a strong steel frame and durable materials designed to withstand Australia’s harsh weather conditions.

Our heavy-duty horse shelters are available in a range of sizes from small single bay options to larger shelters for multiple animals.

You can also customise your structure with walls, cladding and other additional features depending on your specific requirements.

Ranbuild paddock shelters are built using genuine BlueScope steel sourced locally, with COLORBOND® or ZINCALUME® steel available in a wide range of colours to match your property. The result is a low-maintenance, durable shelter that provides reliable protection year after year.

Flexible shelter designs for horses and livestock

Ranbuild paddock shelters are designed to provide a practical and cost effective ideal solution for protecting horses, livestock and other animals in open paddocks. The open-front design allows animals to enter and exit freely, providing shade and protection from weather, wind and rain while maintaining good airflow for comfort.

You can choose from gable designs or skillion roofs depending on your preferred look and location requirements. Both roof styles are engineered to handle harsh weather and provide long-term durability across Australian conditions.

Shelters can also be combined with nearby stables, tack rooms, storage workshop areas or other farm systems if required. For example, some property owners add enclosed walls for added protection or incorporate a shelter into a larger shed design.

Because every property and paddock layout is different, Ranbuild shelters can be custom designed to suit your specific needs, ground conditions and animal numbers. Our team can help you plan the right shelter space, ensuring the structure is suitable for your horses and daily operations.

With easy installation, strong engineered systems and quality materials, Ranbuild paddock shelters provide dependable protection for your animals in all conditions.
