There's a great section in Tim Tyne's book about making your own lambing pens, and a hay feeder, all from wood. It has a cutting list and everything, for the most economical use of wood. Lovely. And much like the picture from Hevxxx99.

Hi I can't see any pictures but I have built two sheep shelters from pallets as well as a Manure heap,  store for turnips. I have two Hay racks made from packing boxes with the sides knocked out. I have just put up a poly tunnel sheep shelf and will be protecting the shoes with pallets. I couldn't afford to be with out them :wave:

That's were our were copied from... Tim's book that is. Except we made the hooks from mild steel wire and use now a number of broken electric netting wire posts (plastic) to make up the pens. It all works beautifully, even as pen for (goat)kids and this time round as emergency kidding pen!
