Following customer requests, we are pleased to introduce the ERISKAY & COLONSAY - our new towable field shelters. Sized to suit several horses and designed to fit through standard field gates with ease, these shelters offer durable protection to all stock, with the ability to be moved with standard 4 x 4 or tractor. The design is ideal for summer / winter grazing paddocks or for farms where field rotation means horses are moved from year to year. Customers have the choice of quality castor wheels within a strong steel chassis or heavy duty wooden skids with metal protectors.

Designed to be moved with 4x4 or tractor between fields or using farm roads

We can also provide an additional folding lean-to positioned at the side or rear to offer some protection to hay or straw that you may keep at the site together with the option of an extension of the roof to the front to give a canopy like our traditional looseboxes and field shelters.

We have been asked to provide the timber skids on our standard shelters, most commonly the 18 x 12 CROMARTY and this is quite possible. Please do remember that this building is erected on site and then, due to its width can only be moved around within a field by a tractor as the width means it is unlikely to get through a standard gateway.

The ERISKAY, with a steel chassis is aimed at mixed use farms where the building needs towed on farm roads over limited distances to get between fields. The COLONSAY has timber skids, rather like a big sledge, and is aimed at movement between and around fields where road travel is not necessary. Colonsay shelters may need towing by tractor. Because both models are not "fixed" in location, no planning permission is required.
