Chery Industrial 20' × 12' Heavy-Duty Metal Livestock Run-In Shed

Product Overview

Create approximately 240 square feet of accessible shade and overhead shelter for compatible livestock with this Chery Industrial 20' × 12' metal run-in shed. Its open-access design allows animals to enter and leave without doors, making it a practical addition to pastures, paddocks, corrals, and livestock-management areas.

A reinforced 14-gauge steel frame supports durable 26-gauge roof panels. The roof slopes from a 130-inch front height to a 99.6-inch rear height, encouraging rainwater and melting snow to drain away from the shelter opening. A skid-style base provides a stable supporting platform and may offer placement flexibility when handled according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

Specifications

Livestock Suitability

The number and type of animals this shelter can comfortably serve depend on species, size, temperament, herd dynamics, stocking density, and local climate. Horses, cattle, goats, and other livestock may have substantially different space and construction requirements.

The supplier does not clearly identify which sides or rear sections are enclosed. Confirm the completed wall configuration, opening dimensions, interior projections, fasteners, and animal-contact surfaces before purchase.

Inspect the shelter regularly for sharp edges, loose hardware, corrosion, damaged roofing, or openings where an animal could become caught. Proper fencing and gates are required separately; the run-in shed is not a livestock-containment system.

Site Preparation and Installation

Select a level, well-drained location that does not collect standing water or deep mud. Shelter orientation should account for prevailing winds, driving precipitation, summer shade, animal traffic, and access for maintenance equipment.

The skid base does not eliminate the need for proper anchoring. Confirm the required foundation and anchor system for the site before installation. If future relocation is intended, obtain approved lifting or towing instructions before attempting to move the structure.

No wind-speed or snow-load rating was supplied. Verify local structural requirements, anchoring, permits, setbacks, drainage, and livestock-facility codes before installation.

Weather-Protection Notice

This run-in shed provides overhead coverage and accessible shelter but is not a fully enclosed or climate-controlled barn. Protection from wind-driven rain, drifting snow, dust, and temperature extremes depends on the final wall configuration, shelter orientation, site drainage, and local conditions.

Packaging and Delivery

Package dimensions, package count, product weight, shipping weight, freight method, and unloading requirements were not included in the supplied information. Confirm these details before scheduling delivery or preparing unloading equipment.
