goatseeker All goats. All the time. Goat Farms.

Start by marking out your area. In this case, we are building a quonset hut shelter for goats, so it doesn't need to be very tall. We'll mark off an area approximately about 8' across and 10' wide - the widest area will be the distance between the ends of the cattle panels.

I start by marking off a rectangular area approximately 10 feet wide by 8 feet across.

In our case, we will be mounting the hut against an existing field fence, so we will not need to drive in as many t-posts against that side of the hut.

Starting with my back to the fence, I pace off 10 paces (about 10 feet) from the fence (feel free to use a measuring tape.)

Now, on each side of the quonset hut, make a mark about six inches in from the outer edge of your planned area ("A", "C" in the photo. Drive in a 3 foot section of t-post, about 18" into the ground. In the center of the outside edge, 4 feet from the t-post, 10 feet from the other side - this will be the center support (see "B" in the photo.)

Repeat this process for the other side of your quonset hut area.
