Solid Sides/Back with Open or Event Front and 6’ Side Feed Room Shelter

Solid Sides/Back with Open or Event Front and 6’ Side Feed Room Shelter

Protect Your Animals All 4 Seasons of the Year!

Noble Shelters are designed and built to protect your animals during all four seasons of the year. They provide a warm dry shelter through the fall and winter and a cool shaded retreat during the spring and summer months.

This Shelter measures 18’ wide x 12’ deep (standard) and includes an additional 2’ roof overhang in the front. The 6’ Side Feed Room includes two 4’ doors, one in the front and one in the back. Separate and optional Solid Feed Doors are available for easier feeding through the divide wall.  The front of this Shelter is open, but can be ordered with an Event Front.  Extended height option available upon request.

  • A small horse shelter on a gravel surface with a horse standing inside, surrounded by trees in the background.
  • A large metal and beige colored storage shed with a slanted metal roof, located outdoors on an asphalt surface with trees and a cloudy sky in the background.
  • A small red metal shelter with a partial open door, situated on a grassy field under a partly cloudy sky.
  • Red metal shed with a large open doorway, situated on a grassy field under a partly cloudy sky.
  • A small open-sided shelter with plywood walls and a metal frame, located in a grassy field on a cloudy day, with a rabbit near the bottom left corner.
  • A partially built outdoor shed with a metal frame, plywood walls, and a metal roof, situated on a gravel surface with a grassy field and clear blue sky in the background.
  • A long, light-colored building with metal framing and louvered windows, surrounded by a dirt ground and trees in the background.
  • An indoor pet wash station with a portable tub, wooden walls, and metal framing.
  • A small shed with wooden and metal construction sits on a grassy plain with dry grass, under a cloudy sky. The shed has a flat roof and a door in the front. In the background, there are distant mountains and a body of water. A black bird is on the ground near the shed.

We use a heavy 15 gauge round galvanized steel tubing to manufacture our Shelters. Both 1 7/8” diameter and 1 5/8” diameter material we fabricate with is made right here in the USA. We chose this material for its superior strength and longevity. A round tube is stronger than a square or rectangular tube of equal weight and size. Like all Noble products, our Shelters have a galvanized finish for unequalled rust protection.

Our unique plywood mounting tab is used to secure ¾” or 1” plywood of any grade (not included) to a solid Shelter wall. This design allows each sheet of wood to be recessed inside the wall panel. There are no exposed edges or corners of wood for livestock to chew or crib on. When installed, each piece of wood will have a small air gap around the perimeter (approximately 1/8’ to ¼’). These perimeter openings offer solutions to commonly asked questions regarding lighting and ventilation. First, animals are more likely to enter a Shelter when there is some visible lighting (ie. not a dark hole or box). Second, health issues arise when livestock are contained in poorly ventilated areas. Body heat and moisture can create health problems for many different animals where there is little ventilation.

Noble Shelters are expandable. With our modular design you can order a longer version of this Shelter (in 12’ increments), attach additional Shelters to existing ones, or you can change the design or layout of a previously erected Noble Shelter. Any wall can be made to be solid (wood ready), railed (5 or 6 rail Panel/Gate), or full open for walk-through (no tabs).

Noble Shelter frames are quick and easy to erect. They come with assembly hardware and an easy-to-read set of instructions with plywood cutting diagrams (including roof metal recommendations).  

Our Shelters are sold standard as a frame kit only.  Concrete Anchor Kit, Noble Board & Roof Metal/Trim are all sold separately. Shelters with plywood mounting tabs MUST have plywood installed prior to use.

*Since Noble Shelters are expandable and have a variety of options, photos shown on this site may not be the standard size/configuration.  They may be a variation of the standard product.

  • “Was Amazed at how easy it was to construct.”

    Finished building our 12x12 run-in shed for my horse last weekend. Was AMAZED at how easy it was to construct.  The pipe framework was assembled in an hour or 2, the roof sheeting took less than an hour to install, and the plywood sides took a couple of hours to cut to size and install.  It’s incredibly sturdy, plenty big for our horse (could use this for two horses, really), it looks great, and I’m SO glad I went this route!  My horse didn’t have a shelter last winter and I’m so glad he will this time.  While it was a little more expensive than building something with wood from scratch, I would buy it again and again—and in fact I’ll probably buy another set to expand this one down the road.”

  • “We will not hesitate to place another order with Noble.”

    Trail Ridge Arena purchased panels, gates, and loafing sheds from Noble Panel and Gates. Their customer service department was extremely helpful with their recommendation's and design plans. We were pleasantly surprised at the ease of the assembly and after 5 years their product has held up exceptionally well in Wyoming's extreme weather conditions. We will not hesitate to place another order with Noble Panels and Gates in the future.

  • “No one beats Noble when it comes to strength, durability, ease of installation, and safety.”

    Nearly six years ago, we put up a 12x24 Noble Shelter and a Noble Panel corral for our two rowdy geldings (14.1 hand Black Milo and 14.3 hand Bay Kermit). Aside from a bit of horse dirt and some cobwebs, the structure and fencing look as new as the day we put them together. We're less than a mile away from the beach in damp salt air, and the boys have been known to paw, play and scratch on the shelter and pipe panels, but we've seen no rust, no dents, no wear, and no sharp edges. We're about to relocate to a property that needs a new horse facility, and we're definitely going to install more Noble products. We've seen a lot of other brands of barns and shelters, but we believe that no none beats Noble when it comes to strength, durability, affordability, ease of installation, and safety.

  • “Materials and well engineered design undoubtedly save our horses lives.”

    I just bought a 12 by 48 structure from you guys that my husband JUST completed putting together yesterday! This morning at 5am we heard a very loud commotion which we thought was thunder and lightning because we just had a few nasty storms come through this weekend. Well.... it wasn't thunder and lightning, it was a tree, a over 100 year old tree, that came crashing down on top of the shelter EXACTLY in the spot that my mare Nova likes to stand to be close to Cash, my Gelding, near the center divide with see through bars. I ran out there expecting the worst but there was Nova standing in what was left of her side of the structure with not a scratch on her! She was a bit shaken up of course but thank God nothing happened to her!! I just wanted to say thanks to Noble Panels for your solid structures and quality products. My horse LIVED through it! You have no idea how much she means to me! My husband and I debated getting a traditional wooden barn or going with steel from Noble Panels. We couldn't be happier with our decision. The strength of the materials and well engineered design undoubtedly saved our horses lives. As you can see in the pictures that tree probably weighs over two tons and it merely bent the panels! I am just SO thankful we decided to get a structure from Noble Panels! We are bummed that we have to start all over again, but the most important thing of all is my horses are OK! Thank you so much Noble Panels! I am forever grateful for your awesome company! A BIG thanks to Jesse for helping me purchase and design a shelter that SAVED my horses lives!!

  • “I couldn’t have found a better partner than Noble… the integrity of the Noble team is just something you can’t find anymore.”

    I can’t tell you what a pleasure it has been working with Noble Panels. Owning farm equipment dealerships across Kansas and into Nebraska and Iowa, I was somewhat new to the equine industry when I built Triple 8 Equine Center and I couldn’t have found a better partner than Noble. We have purchased an outdoor arena, round pen, many outdoor runs, several shelters, estate fencing, custom panels and ramp for inside our horse rehab building and we are still building projects with Noble. We deal with 100’s of vendors in the course of a year and Noble is at the very top because they deliver a superior product and the support is unmatched. The integrity of the Noble team is just something you can’t find anymore.

  • “Visually appealing and incredibly durable.”

    We've used Noble Panels and Gates for everything from mesh panels and gates to a contour fence, round pen, and shelters — and we couldn’t be happier. Their products are not only visually appealing but incredibly durable. The round pen and shelters are so versatile and easy to install that they've moved with us to several locations without issue. The small animal mesh panels are a standout — they conform beautifully to any terrain and keep both our large and small dogs secure (Dachshund up to Great Pyrenees). If you're looking for something long-lasting, functional, and safe for horses or dogs, Noble Panels is the way to go. Thanks.

  • “Safety of the products provides our horses with security.”

    When I first contacted Noble Panel & Gate until today, my experiences have all been excellent including the greeting from the employees, customer support, engineering, shipping, and the products.

    I initially purchased three to four 5- rail fence sections. A few years later, I purchased a 5- rail round pen with a gate. These two transactions were excellent and are still in use today. I knew early on that Noble products were for me moving forward.

    I designed the layout of my fence with great detail and worked with the Noble engineers to fill in the details based off their superior product knowledge. We agreed to adjust and customize certain designs to specific areas of the fence and gate layout.

    I also purchased the five-rail fence and gate system, including three 12’x12’ run-in sheds and one large 12’x24’ storage shed with four doors.

    The products are excellent; and I have received numerous compliments from friends and strangers just passing by the property. More importantly, the safety of the products provides our horses with security. Knowing these fencing and gates require little to zero maintenance is a huge benefit now and for years to come.

    I contacted a professional fence installer to erect the fence, run-in sheds and gate systems. They followed the Noble Panel & Gate drawing with all the details, and each gate & run-in shed framework was labeled & numbered to aid in the installation process. This proved to be a huge help along with the customer support provided by Noble engineers when we were in the field during the installation. Our questions were answered immediately. This type of support was crucial to keeping the installation on schedule.

    I look forward to purchasing more Noble products in the future as I look to expand.
