I am trying to find plans for a 12-foot by 30-foot (approximately) run-in shed with an 8-foot lean-to for my three horses. Do you know of any plans online or where I could find some that would satisfy my local building/zoning codes?

The MidWest Plan Service has a Horse Facilities Handbook (see www.mwps.org) that provides plans and recommendations for a number of horse-specific shelters. Here are some general rules:
• Face the shed away from prevailing winds.
• Allow 90 to 150 square feet per horse.
• Install gutters and drains to divert runoff.
• Make sure the base is made of a material that drains well.
You will have to check with your land-grant university's local Cooperative Extension office to see if your run-in shelter plans require oversight by local officials.
