Mobile field shelters and farm storage tents are usually set up all year round and are therefore exposed to all kinds of weather extremes. A durable, stable construction made of high-quality materials is therefore essential.
For this reason, the poles of our pasture tents and shelters are made of fully galvanised, thick-walled steel. Horizontal poles have a diameter of 60mm, while vertical poles have a diameter of 76mm. This makes them particularly robust and, thanks to full galvanisation, provides excellent protection from corrosion.
PVC is used as tarpaulin material for all on-farm shelters. PVC is a particularly resistant material and its feel is similar to that of a truck tarpaulin. PVC can withstand strong, weather-related influences such as wind, temperature changes, sunlight and rain for long periods.
Our PVC tarpaulins also have a hard-wearing inner mesh fabric that gives the tarpaulin additional support and strength. PVC tarpaulins for our on-farm shelters are between 550 and 720g/m² thick. Polyethylene tarpaulins tend to have a weight of approx. 180 to 300g/m² and are not suitable for farm storage tents or mobile field shelters.
Our tents are designed with a structural system that is suitable for repeated and temporary installation and removal at different locations. Usually no official permits are required for their installation. However, regulations may differ in your region. We therefore recommend seeking advice from local authorities prior to setting one up.
We offer our farm shelters in three qualities: PROFESSIONAL, PREMIUM, and BASIC. Within these groupings, you can also select for different sizes and tarpaulin weights.
Our PROFESSIONAL field shelters are equipped as standard with an approximately 720g/m² fireproof-certified, Prime roof tarpaulin made of PVC. It has a protective steel barrier and is available in the sizes 4x4m and 6x6m. Windbreak net sets for 4x4m and 6x6m are available as accessories, which can be attached to the side walls and provide additional stability.
In the 6x6m version, the roof tarpaulin is also available with skylights. These are transparent PVC windows in the canopy through which more light can enter the tent interior. A gate panel is available as an accessory for the front of the PROFESSIONAL mobile field shelter in the size 6x6m. This allows for closing animals in, such as horses or sheep if necessary. The 6x6m PROFESSIONAL field shelter is available in a dark green colour.
Good to know: In addition to storing machinery, hay and forage, the PROFESSIONAL field shelter is also suitable as a horse shelter or stable tent for grazing animals such as horses, sheep, cows or donkeys. These animals spend a great deal of their lives outdoors. To ensure that horses and livestock feel comfortable outside and can protect themselves from sun, wind or bad weather conditions, field shelters are an ideal solution.
Portable feed shelters can be used as a feeding house for horses and livestock or as sheep housing. They come in handy particularly in Spring as a shelter against extreme weather for lambs and calves.
Our BASIC farm storage tents are highly mobile and can be assembled and disassembled quickly. Depending on the setup location, customers can choose between anchoring systems for concrete floors or soil.
The BASIC farm storage tent as standard has a tarpaulin made of PVC material weighing approx. 550g/m², while the BASIC PLUS variant has a Prime PVC tarpaulin, which is approx. 720 g/m² thick and fireproof. Both tarpaulins have seams welded in a high-temperature process, are 100% waterproof and UV-resistant with a certified sun protection factor of 80+. The Prime PVC tarpaulin, which weighs approx. 720g/m², also offers a particularly high tear resistance - 9 times higher than conventional PVC trade tarpaulins. It is also particularly resistant to temperature fluctuations between -30 and +50 degrees Celsius.
Good to know: Our garage tent and our pasture shelter BASIC are identical tents which can be used either as a carport or as a farm storage tent. They are of the highest quality and extremely stable. As a permanent shelter they offer protection from wind and weather and serve as storage space for machines, equipment, fodder, crops and cars. Like the PREMIUM farm storage tents, the BASIC and BASIC PLUS farm storage tents are not suitable as horse stalls or as shelters for animals.

Are you looking for even larger tents as shelter or storage for your machines? Then take a look at our Industrial Tents category. Our spacious Viking tent in particular could be of great interest if you are searching for a multi-purpose outdoor storage solution. Depending on the season, the extra space may be useful for housing farm machinery, to stack hay bales, or as a storage area for fencing equipment or tack.
Farm storage tents are ideal for storing or sheltering agricultural vehicles, machinery, materials, hay or fodder. This makes farm storage tents the ideal on-farm storage solution for year-round use.
Field shelters, on the other hand, offer your animals a shelter and thus satisfy the basic need for safety and security. Your animals will have a cover to shelter from rain, strong wind or excessive sunlight. The field shelter therefore serves as an optimal housing out on the paddock for horses, cows or sheep, among others.
The high mobility of pasture tents and shelters helps to ensure that they can be dismantled, stored or flexibly set up elsewhere at any time. Fulfil your wish of having a space that meets your needs, and can be set up wherever you need it - without all the bureaucratic effort. This is a great advantage if you are farming a leased property. Tents can always be moved or resold. Please note, however, that approval requirements may differ from region to region. We therefore recommend that you obtain detailed information about building requirements in advance.
A mobile field shelter as well as a mobile farm storage tent are, from an economic and building law perspective, attractive alternatives to a solid construction such as a barn or other farm building. In the case of a fixed open stable on your own property, for example, you will need a building permit, whereas with field shelters no extra permit is required. There are two options for portable open stables: a shelter made of wood or corrugated iron, or a field shelter with a steel frame and PVC cover.
Portable pasture huts can be used as horse stables, as well as outdoor housing for other grazing animals such as sheep or ponies. They offer protection against adverse weather conditions and can also function as a feeding place, when stacked with hay. The PVC field shelter differs from a pasture hut in that it is easier to move around without a vehicle and won't damage the pasture. Sheds are usually made of corrugated iron, and are generally much heavier in terms of material. In addition, PVC field shelters are cheaper than huts and provide better protection from wind.
PROFESSIONAL quality field shelters can be used as portable horse stables, s sheep shelter or lamb pen, or as weather-protected feeding and standing areas for horses, sheep, cows, goats and other animals. Farm storage tents, on the other hand, are designed as a mobile storage space for hay, straw, wood or other goods. Off farm, they are a great option for housing of outdoor machines, garden tools or as a garage for vehicles.
If you need an even larger shelter for agricultural or commercial use or for private purposes, it is worth taking a look at the categories arched shelters, storage tents or industrial tents. In these categories you will find particularly large and stable tents that can be erected for longer periods and are resistant to environmental influences. Some products are even available with certified load capacities.
The assembly time of a portable farm storage tent depends on the size and complexity of the product. If the tent has many individual parts and a complex frame, assembly takes longer. For the 6x6 PROFESSIONAL field shelters for example, it takes about 5 hours on average for 2-4 people to set up. A foundation is not necessary for assembly, but is an option. Depending on your requirements, you can choose between concrete anchors or soil anchoring pegs at the point of purchase. The surface should be even so that the tent frame rests level on the ground. Easy to understand assembly instructions are included for quick self-assembly.
The tent can be dismantled quickly thanks to its simple design. It can therefore be stored or transported to a new location in the shortest possible time.
If you want to make the most of your mobile shelter for an extended duration, you should check it regularly, clean it and repair it if necessary. Check that all ground pegs and the ground anchoring system are really still firmly anchored in the ground. Check rubber loops, roof tarpaulins and rope systems for damage. If you find any damage, it should be repaired as soon as possible so that the damage does not get worse. It is best to use the appropriate, original materials for replacement or repair, as these were specially developed for use in tents! Replacement materials and parts are available from us for many products for 10 years after the date of purchase. Just give us a call, our customer service will be happy to help you.

You can quickly clean the tarpaulin with water, standard cleaning agents or with special PVC cleaners. Before you store the tent, it should be completely dry to prevent the formation and build up of mould.
