ABSTRACT:
A modular animal shelter is conveniently relocatable, inexpensive to construct, and sufficiently durable to house large animals for extended periods of time. The modular animal shelter may be formed using a plurality of prefabricated, discrete, detachably interconnected side panels to define at least a partial enclosure. Each side panel may comprise a plurality of rails supported by a plurality of substantially vertical posts transverse to the rails. The side panels may be supported in a vertical disposition through the interconnecting of the side panels, such that the side panels are self-supporting without being anchored to the ground. A covering for the modular animal shelter may be formed substantially of a foldable material, and preferably extends over the enclosure to shelter the enclosure. The covering is preferably detachably connected to the side panels. A plurality of support members may be detachably connected to the tops of two of the opposing side panels to support the covering. Preferably, the support members are elongated and bowed and attach to the side panels with an insert fit. The side panels, covering, and support members are preferably modular and conveniently detachable from each other such that the animal shelter is adapted for convenient disassembly, transport, and subsequent reassembly.
