Custom Horse Shelters. Built Tough for Canterbury Conditions.
"No middlemen, no dramas, just reliable, tidy builds."
Looking to keep your horses dry, sheltered, and happy year-round? At Southern Buildworks, we design and build custom horse shelters that are practical, long-lasting, and tailored to your land and stock needs.
Based in Christchurch and servicing wider Canterbury, we handle everything from the ground up — no kitsets, no shortcuts, just solid craftsmanship from a licensed LBP builder with over 17 years of hands-on experience.
Our latest horse shelter was designed with both comfort and functionality in mind:
✔️ Timber-framed and fully lined for strength and safety
✔️ Corrugated roof for durability in all weather
✔️ Gutter, downpipe & soak pit can be installed for proper drainage
✔️ Metal base for dry footing year-round
✔️ Built on-site — no kitsets, ever
Whether you need a 1-bay shelter or something larger with a tack area, we custom-build to suit your paddock, access, and livestock needs
