Our mobile field shelters provide a quick, convenient and flexible shelter for horses and livestock, without the need for planning applications (in most instances) and avoiding expensive groundworks. Protection from wind, rain and snow in winter and shade from the sun in summer, the mobile shelters come complete with skids to allow the building to be towed around a paddock or field by tractor or strong 4x4. Each shelter is manufactured, delivered and installed nationwide, or available as a DIY kit.
Chart field shelters are well specified as standard and include chains, anchor points, guttering and anti-chew strips around the doorway openings. We line to 4’ high (1.2m) with OSB for rigidity and protection against kicking, and offer the option to choose between standard pressure treated timber skids or galvanised metal skids. As expected of a Chart equestrian building, all mobile field shelters are constructed from sustainably sourced pressure treated timber for longevity, sourced from a select group of approved sawmills.
From a muddy paddock to a sun-drenched field or horse yard for extra stabling in winter, a mobile field shelter is incredibly flexible - one of the most adaptable stabling and storage options we sell.
A mobile field shelter can often avoid the need for planning permission. Because it sits on skids and is designed to be towed and repositioned rather than fixed permanently to the ground, it is frequently treated differently from a permanent building. This makes a mobile shelter an attractive, flexible option for turnout fields, seasonal grazing and rented land. Conditions do apply around how a mobile building is used and moved, and the rules vary depending on your site, so always check with your local planning authority before you build. Our guide to planning permission for stables and shelters has more detail.
Because a mobile field shelter is not fixed to the ground, it is important that it is positioned and secured correctly, particularly on exposed sites. Every Chart mobile field shelter comes with a heavy-duty towing chain and anchor points positioned at either end, and our team will advise on siting and ground anchoring so your shelter stays safe and stable in high winds.
A mobile field shelter gives you flexibility a static one cannot: no groundworks, the freedom to reposition as grazing and ground conditions change, and the potential to avoid a planning application. If you want permanent shelter fixed on a concrete base, our static field shelters may suit you better. Both are built to the same high timber specification.

We offer our mobile field shelters in two well-specified ranges. The Clipper is our most popular, good-value range; for particularly exposed locations we recommend the Chart range, which brings enlarged framing, galvanised anti-chew strips and thicker kickboards. Both can be adapted to your exact requirements and are available on timber or galvanised metal skids.
A good value mobile field shelter option, ideal for a wide range of animal husbandry as well as storage for hay, feed or machinery. Made from pressure treated timber, with a choice of galvanised metal or timber skids, they can be moved with a 4×4 or tractor.
Our premium Chart Range field shelters bring enlarged framing (recommended for exposed locations) , galvanised anti-chew strips to the vertical side of each opening with a timber slip-rail and galvanised brackets plus with thicker kickboards.
