Why a Mobile Field Shelter is a Cost-Effective Solution
When it comes to keeping animals, we all understand the importance of providing shelter and protection from the weather. However, a fixed building isn’t always the most practical option for your set-up. This is where a Mobile Field Shelter is a great option as it offers flexibility, reliable protection, and lower costs compared to a permanent structure such as a stable/stable block.
Let’s explore the key reasons why a Mobile Field Shelter is such a cost-effective solution.
Overall Cost
When deciding between a permanent building and a Mobile Field Shelter, it’s important to weigh up the overall expense. Building a permanent building usually involves significant costs such as groundworks, concrete, and planning applications. In comparison, a Mobile Field Shelter only requires the cost of the structure itself and a smaller installation fee.
No Planning Permission Required
In most cases in the UK, planning permission is not needed for a Mobile Field Shelter. This saves you both time and money by avoiding a lengthy planning process. That said, it is always advisable to check your local regulations to ensure your shelter meets all requirements and that permission is not necessary. Click here to check.

Mobile Yet Sturdy
You might assume that a permanent building is stronger than a Mobile Field Shelter, but ours are designed to withstand regular movement while still standing up to harsh weather. Built with ex 19mm shiplap (14.5mm finished) and robust 75mm x 50mm framing, they offer sturdy, long-lasting protection for your animals.
Adaptability
One of the greatest advantages of a Mobile Field Shelter is its flexibility. You can move it around your paddocks or grazing fields to suit by placing it in a shaded spot during summer, or in a drier area during winter. With the addition of gates or a stable door, it can also be adapted to provide a space is box rest is needed.
Ideal for Rented Land
Not everyone has the luxury of owning the land their animals graze on, and building a permanent structure isn’t always an option. A Mobile Field Shelter solves this problem.
With no need for a fixed base and the ability to move it easily, it provides reliable shelter without altering the land permanently. Plus, if you move to new land, you can take the shelter with you.
