stanchion barns are used for dairygoat housing. The back platforms
can be used for a bed-pack.

Fabric covered hooped structures
can make low budget animal
housing. They are flexible,
moveable and let in sunlight.

Allowing feeding or access alleys along
the sides of a hoop structure keep the
animal away from the fabric walls.
