Low-Cost Calf Shelter Built Out Of Metal Garage Doors

Low-Cost Calf Shelter Built Out Of Metal Garage Doors LIVESTOCK Beef 22-5-36 Here's a low-cost calf shelter I built out of metal garage doors that I got for free from a door installer in our area. The 16 by 8 ft. shed is built around six posts driven into the ground. I used four 10 ft. 2 by 4's for side, end and ceiling supports. Metal garage sections are screwed to the posts and 2 by 4's. I installed a couple old barn doors on top for a roof. I ran a rail across the front about 3 1/2 ft. from the ground to allow calves in but to keep cows out.
