How can I get my own Loafing Shed Livestock Shelter?
1. PRIORITIZE
Identify what you’d like your shed to do for you.
- What do you want to store?
- How do you want to access it?
- What kind of “look” do you want?
Think carefully about your objectives before you purchase your building.
2. PURCHASE
Review your options and make your choice.
- To choose your shed, consider which size and style will best fit your needs, as well as how each style will fit into your location.
- When you’re ready to order, first choose your colors, then any add-on options.
- Send us a security deposit to place your order. You can choose either a cash sale, or a convenient rent to own contract.
3. PREPARE
Get ready to land a beautiful backyard.
- We recommend a gravel base to set the shed on. If this is not a good option for you, we are happy to offer you some more ideas and options.
- Look for any low hanging wires or tree branches that will be in the way of getting the shed to the desired location.
- We encourage you to do any necessary tree trimming prior to delivery of your structure.
WHAT CUSTOMERS SAY OUR LOAFING SHED
Horses have a sturdy, safe structure to shelter from the Iowa weather
Curtis made the purchase of our horse shelter so easy! He worked with us and made the customizations we needed, as well as coordinating the build and delivery around our schedule as we were in the process of moving. Our little barn was built, delivered, and installed exactly as promised. Everyone who sees it comments on how well-built it is compared to other companies. Our horses have a sturdy, safe structure to shelter from the Iowa weather, and I can keep their grain, a couple of days’ worth of hay, and my tack and supplies in the larger, customized tack room we selected. It was easy to install electrical and a wireless camera in the building as well. We couldn’t be happier and highly recommend Kauffman Structures.
