Title: OSB Boards
Post by: sokel on September 21, 2014, 08:59:23 pm

Has anyone lined their goat sheds with OSB Boards
I have been given 10 sheets and was wondering about lining the stable out before splitting it into the 2 Billy Pens.
William never chews wood so he def wont chew it, Jasper I don't know although The pens at his breeders had no signs of chewing

Our sheds are lined with OSB boards until about 4ft up, just to provide an extra layer of insulation and also some kind of kick-wall. Works well and no sign of chewing it - but mine do chew their wooden partitions, doors etc etc - mostly out of boredom I think...

Mine is lined with Stokbord up to four feet. The kids were richoting off the shiplap and pushing them out of place and I could see a mass exodus into the veggie beds.


The shed is now warmer, the walls (and therefore the veggies) are protected and the kids find they bounce even better now. Win win.
