I have a three-sided 12X12 run-in shed that basically looks like this
It’s been used for hay storage, so it’s been left as-is with a temporary wooden “floor” and a tarp secured over the front to keep hay nice and dry.
At the first of the year, the run-in, my horse, and I will be relocating and the run-in will be his main shelter. I don’t worry about the cold that much where I am (eastern NC), but the heat and humidity are awful in the summer and my guy suffers from anihidrosis when it gets brutal. He needs a place with shade and good ventilation (and optimally a fan, which I will work on as well).
I would like to put decent-sized windows at least in the back of this shed, and I’ve even thought about putting one on each end of it. Would that be too many? I want to make it as cool as possible, but I don’t want to invite more sun in either. The windows would have shutters that could be closed during the wind/rain when needed.
I’d like opinions on where would be best to locate the windows and how big and how many.
Thoughts?
