Wildcat Shelters
Alberta's Rustic Horse Shelters
What We Do
Lumber
All our shelters are built on Pressure Treated skids.
We are using oversized rough cut lumber
(pine/spruce/fir).
The siding is made of a double layer of 1" planks.
Roof
We use galvanized metal for the roofs.
Our default color is Galvanized Aluminum (silver), but we also have access to a wide range of colors
(color matching is an option).
Assembly
If we can, we deliver all our shelters fully assembled, and directly to your field.
Very large shelters are assembled in your field in a couple of days.
Or if access is an issue, we can also do the assembly in the field (for a reasonable surcharge).
Regardless, we always leave the site clean - no left over scrap wood, no nails on the ground, no garbage! (Okay, maybe a little sawdust...)
Delivery
Delivery is included for many municipalities near Cochrane.
Contact us for a quick and free estimate for your specific location.
The shelters are delivered on a flat deck trailer.
We do not need any help to load/unload the shelter, however, if you have horses in the field, we would need you to manage the gates while we drive through.
Design
We built our shelters to last.
Every panel is braced diagonally to ensure the building stays straight and square. Even if you decide to pull it across the field with a tractor!
Anchoring
Our shelters are solid, heavy and sturdy. However, we strongly recommend that they be anchored to the ground in windy areas.
Because soil/grounds differ from field to field (rocks, gravel, loam, clay, etc), anchoring time can vary greatly and is not included in the base shelter price. We can anchor your shelter for you, but this is done on a Time + Material fee basis. You can also buy our anchoring kit and do it yourself at your convenience. Prior to anchoring, you must have your utility lines located and flagged in the vicinity of the shelter (electricity, water, natural gas, telephone, cable, irrigation, septic field, etc).
