Tuff Shed’s Loafing Shed

A loafing shed offers your animals essential protection from wind, rain, sun, and other elements. It also doubles as a practical storage area for tack and other supplies, keeping everything you need close at hand.

The concept of horse shelters has a rich history. Ancient Egyptians depicted stables on royal tombs and mentioned them in inscriptions. Similarly, the Hebrew Bible references King Solomon’s renowned stables. Also, Chinese history notes that emperors cared for their royal horses with dedicated shelters.

Loafing sheds, also called run-in sheds, are small barns specifically designed to protect livestock. Built with the same durable construction techniques as any quality shed. They ensure a strong structure capable of withstanding nature's forces and the wear and tear of daily use by animals.

At TUFF SHED, our loafing shed is a versatile, multi-purpose building crafted with the same materials and expert craftsmanship as our Premier Series storage buildings. This adaptable structure can be customized to fit your specific needs, including as many stalls as required. A typical loafing shed layout includes one enclosed section, modeled after the Premier Series Tall Ranch or Tall Barn, along with one or more open-sided bays featuring dirt floors.

For added durability and premium features, our loafing shed for livestock is also available with Premier PRO Series upgrades.
