This is a couple of shots of the new loafing shed. Nothing special from a construction point-of-view - just 4x4 treated posts, 2x10 and 2x12 frame with 5/8 plywood sheathing...oh, and a corrugated galvanized tin roof.
The shed measures 12 feet by 12 feet and has a 3 foot roof overhang on the open side. It is almost 9 feet high at the front and more than 7 feet high in the back.
It's kind of difficult to see the round pen in that mess of rails and fence posts, but trust me, it's there! Almost 30 cubic yards of crushed shale has been compacted to form the base. It will be topped with around 20 cubic yards of dust-free sand.
The round pen is actually a 14 sided polygon, loosely approximating a circle with gates forming two sides of the polygon.
You can see our (new to us) horse trailer off to the side. The trailer's small tack room gives us handy storage and access to the saddles and bridles when we want to ride.
Whisky, taking a break from eating (rare event!).
