Field shelters in summer?



You can't have seen what's passing for 'summer' up here  :o ;D .  We are getting a series of really heavy, pounding rain and hail storms running through, with thunder and lightning - with no natural shelter and for shorn sheep, a manmade shelter to keep off the worst of the rain is good. :thumbsup:

Quite  ::) I feel mean enough making poor animals live up here with all the midges anyway, without them being wet through for weeks on end, in the summer (substitute months for weeks in any other season  :P)
