Looking for some ideas for a low cost run in shed. We were thinking 12 x 12. We'd be using metal roofing, and most likely rough cut lumber for the siding.

You'd defiantly save money by using tin siding I would think, unless you have low cost lumber available.
We made a few for about $700 all in, metal frame we bought at scrap price and welded together then sided with tin. Ours is 7x20 with one of the long sides open.

If using sheet metal for the siding please line the inside with ply wood so there wont be any accidents with one of your horses kicking threw the sheet metal if more then one horse is using the run in..

streakysox - 2017-04-24 9:38 AM I have two of those carport things. Mine just have a roof and no sides because of the hot weather in Texas.
I need some shade in one of my paddocks and have been thinking about a car port. How are they ankered in the ground? Do you remeber how much they cost?

Thank you.
I was not at home when they were put up but they have some kind of big bolt/screw that goes in the ground. I have hit mine with the tractor and it did not phase it. We have had a couple of hurricanes come through E TX (who'd a thunk it?) with 80 mph winds and never bothered it either. I did get the ones with the ridge for higher sides. I attached this to show you the roof only. Mine do not have any thing on the side and do not have the triangular pieces on the ends. Roof ONLY.
