Alternative Uses for Horse Shelters

by zane.hollingsworth

Whether you have horses or not there is one thing that is undisputable: horse shelters can be useful for any home. You may be skeptical at first and wonder what you can do with a horse barn shelter without any horses. While it is true that you may not build a horse shelter without horses, maybe you have found a home that you love in your venture to purchase a new house that comes with a horse shelter. Horse shelters not only offer excellent protection to your equine pals, they can also offer protection for anything else you may want to keep away from the elements.

The most common place that you may find a horse shelter is on a farm and with a farm comes farm equipment, gardening equipment, and possibly other farm animals. If you do not have horses then a horse shelter would be an excellent place to store all of these farming necessities and accessories. And if you do have horses then you may consider sectioning off a part of the shelter to store your belongings or to make room for other animals.

If you already have a horse shelter on your property, whether you built it or not, it is surely a great addition to your home. If you do not yet have a horse shelter and are considering the addition of one it is important to consult with a reputable retailer and contractor regarding the structure. This will help ensure that your shelter is built with the highest quality materials and the most durable and long-lasting construction.

The chances are that you are only going to have a horse shelter built if you probably have horses already or are considering purchasing a horse in the future. Aside from the convenience that the horse shelter will offer you, your horses are sure to appreciate the protection that horse shelters offer from extreme temperatures and other elements, such as rain.

Whether you already have a horse shelter or are considering having one built it is important to remember how useful they will be in the long run, even if you do not always have horses.

Whether you are storing tractors, cars, or memories of yesteryear you are sure to find a plethora of things to store in your unoccupied horse shelters.

Smoking Shelters (Uses)

by daveparker

Smoking shelters are designed to provide shelter for cigarette, cigar and pipe smokers. They also provide designated smoking areas away from entrances and protect employees and patrons from the wind, rain and sun etc.

A shelter can be constructed from wood and resemble a typical garden shed or pagoda for decorative purposes, or they may be constructed from metal, which is more robust and weather resistant than the wooden type. Most shelters are of the metal type, which is of frame design with clear vandal resistant panels to assist in the access of light. The frame is generally constructed from aluminium, and the clear panels are made of toughened Perspex.

Smoking shelters can be self assembly, but an installation service is often provided by most suppliers.

Wooden shelters are extremely popular and can be seen on the premises of many public houses, pubs and beer gardens. They conform to the smoking regulations of Jan 1st 2007, and are usually fitted with a mounted ashtray to prevent litter. They are available in many different styles to suit all occasions and the timber is treated to withstand wet and damp weather etc.

Metal smoking shelters are more robust and durable and can resemble a typical bus shelter. Both types of shelter, wood and metal can include seating arrangements.

Smoke from a shelter should not discharge into a public place or workplace..

It is advised that ashtrays and waste bins be provided at smoking shelters to minimise litter from smoking.
