Product Description

Synopsis

Cows and horses, donkeys and mules, sheep and goats, pigs and fowl, even Ilamas are living on small farms and in backyard barnyards, but how and where are these animals being housed? Author Carol Ekarius knows. In How To Build Animal Housing, she provides dozens of plans - with illustrated, step-by-step instructions - for species-specific shelters that are well ventilated, safe, appropriate for the animals, appealing, convenient, and a solid value for their owners. The book is essential reading for anyone interested in animal health and welfare. It includes complete plans and step-by-step, illustrated instructions for sheds, coops, hutches, multipurpose barns, and economical easy-to-build wind-breaks and shade structures. Ekarius covers new high-tech, portable structures made of plastics and fabrics, as well as more traditional alternatives, such as straw-bale structures. Ekarius wisely emphasizes the importance of careful planning, choosing an appropriate housing site, pest control and basic housing maintenance. How To Build Animal Housing is the most comprehensive and useful guide of its kind.

animal housing 6 May 2010

We are really enjoying this book. It is a permanent fixture in our living room. We have made several things out of it with great success and it is also brilliant for getting ideas out of. Very practical and very inspiring.

Larger buildings 19 May 2011

By Anexus6

Format:Paperback

If you have several acres/hectares of land then this title is for you. It has some merit for GB/European small holders but most buildings are for the Americans. Most of them oversize for us.
