A friend gave me 4 Dorset ewes and I wanted to add an additional shelter for them in addition to a horse barn with an 8 foot overhang (there are no available stalls for them). I may build a small run for them sometime in the future but in the meantime thought about getting a ShelterLogic shelter. It's made to be installed on top of 3 corral panels but I was wondering it it would be OK by itself since the center height is over 5 feet. And the price is right.

Sheep are fairly easy on stuff and the lower the roof above their heads the better. Pallets stood on end for walls and some plywood and or tin roofing works great. When you decide to build the run you can “upgrade” if needed.

For that much money, I would just set two posts in the ground and build two walls using something like Smart Siding 4x8 panels. then cover it with metal.
