Looking good Carl, and I must say well done with all your studying of goats as well. They will be spoilt I am sure.

Looking good but is that chip board your using ?
If it is when it gets wet it will disintegrate

i hate to say it, but i have to agree. should have been wbp ply, pressure treated. i build lots of stables and chipboard disintegrates especially with urine.
 
to offer a solution i would heavily paint it using thompsons weatherproofing solution, its like a rubberised paint. hope this helps.

We used marine ply for our pig pen, lasted years. Am guessing that's the same as wbp?

MIght have to look into osb3 Carl. My 2 youngest goats have taken apart a tongue and groove shed in 2 days! Literally made themself a 'goat flap' and then increased the size of it till we had a 2 and a half sided building. So angry. Tony has reinforced it now with panels of something, I daren't go out to see what. All I could hear yesterday was a hammer and so many expletives!!

Oh dear.   :roflanim:

When we moved here, there was a tongue and groove garden shed which became the goat shed.  I had been lined with hardboard presumably for insulation.  After nearly six years that is rotting at the bottom from all the contact with wee and the top is well chewed.
