Shelter

Orton Companies builds horse shelters in Minnesota — run-in sheds and field shelters with posts, roofs, and orientations that block prevailing wind instead of collecting snow inside. We deliver shelters that last longer than a kit wall panel in a January blow.

Who we build this for

Owners who need field shelter now — for a small herd, a dry lot, or a pasture that has no reliable windbreak.

What we offer

• Open-front run-in designs
• Orientation to Minnesota prevailing wind
• Kick-resistant walls and durable corners
• Roof overhangs that keep bedding drier
• Optional dividers for compatible groups
• Fast construction on pasture sites

How we build it

We site the open face away from the worst winter wind and build a roof that sheds ice instead of dumping it in the doorway.

The process

1. 01

   Your site and how you will use it

   Orton Companies walks the property, maps access, drainage, and utilities, and locks how you will use the building so it fits Minnesota code and your daily work.

2. 02

   Design and materials

   We produce a clear layout, how the building will look from the street, and a steel-and-timber package sized for snow load, wind, and the way you will actually use the space.

3. 03

   Construction

   A licensed crew sets posts or frame, encloses the shell, and finishes doors, roof, and interiors on a schedule built for Minnesota seasons.

4. 04

   Walkthrough

   You walk the finished building with us, we close the punch list, and you get a space ready for equipment, animals, customers, or living — from the same team that designed it.
