I'm trying to plan the layout on the new paddocks still and can't decide on where is best to put shelters, and I need to decide so I can start ordering the fencing and supplies that I need and that depends on shelter location.
The paddocks; The blue line is the creek and the grey line up the middle the driveway
I'll be making a way through the hedge/tree lines so the 2 paddocks on either side of the road are connected.
The creek paddock will be tracked and used in summer and I think the tree's give enough shelter for summer so I was planning a solid 3 sided shelter in the east paddock for winter use, but where is it best sited? our prevailing wind is west, but the nasty storms tend to come from the south and the cold winds from the north (though the indoor arena runs east/west 500m north of my paddock so perhaps that won't be such an issue).
