We just can't seem to stop building things

We have about 2 acres of pasture. Or what will be pasture once we get it bush-hogged down to manageable length.

The plan is to use the electronet fence to rotate the sheep on those 2 acres, giving them fresh feed and us mowed fields.

The biggest problem (other than the bush-hogging and the fact that the sheep aren't trained to move where we want them to go) is that these pastures have no shade. None. Nothing on the sunny side. So we needed to make something that would provide relief from the sun and be easily movable.

Our glorious contraption pictured above is made from 4 old fence rails that we gleaned from a neighbor's wood stash, 3 lengths of pvc (we had to buy these), the unripped part of an old tarp, all tied together with baling twine.

It should be sturdy enough to stand up to sheep curiousity and it's light enough that the two of us can pick it up and relocate it.

Of course, it may also be light enough for the wind to toss about but I'm working on that.

The sheep have given it their baaa of approval.
