We use a 4″ x 2″ external framework for the walls and recommend using a 70mm insulation in the walls, 50mm insulation to the floor and 100mm insulation in the roof. Using the larger timbers for the frame means not only can you git more insulation in your frame is also significantly stronger than a plywood CNC cut kit. We use as standard PIR insulation in the floors and walls with a sheep wool or roll insulation for the roof.

Shepherd huts are typically on wheels, making them temporary and mobile structures; thus, planning permission is usually not necessary. However, it’s always a good idea to consult with your neighbors! If you intend to position one in a National Park, Conservation Area, or a Listed Building, it is wise to check with your local Planning Department. Check out our article on planning here.

Yes, the shepherd’s hut is constructed using contemporary timber frame techniques, making it suitable for year-round use. The 100mm / 4″ timber frame is entirely clad in structural OSB, enveloped in a breather membrane, insulated with foil-backed PIR insulation, and finished with a vapor barrier, ensuring a comfortable, warm, and dry atmosphere. The internal wall lining features stable tongue-and-groove and sheet materials, creating the appearance of traditional matchboarding and custom paneling. It holds paint exceptionally well. Like many creations, this hut is crafted with a variety of unique elements, elevating it above the rest.

Yes, it features an A-frame drawbar at the steering end, allowing it to be towed by a small tractor or 4×4 to a seasonal resting location, whether in summer or winter.
