What is a Shepherd’s Hut?
Shepherd’s huts are traditional movable shelters, originally designed to be used by hill farmers during lambing season. Normally constructed from materials found about the farm, on either a oak or steel chassis with cast iron wheels and a drawbar, they could be towed around the fields by a tractor, allowing the shepherd to shelter and sleep close to wherever the flock was.

The beautiful simplicity, functionality and attractiveness of the traditional design make them perfect for many uses.

How are they made?
Squirrel Workshops shepherd’s huts are hand-built from sturdy treated timber, to your individual specifications, in a wide range of sizes. They’re fully insulated, and you can choose the colours, exterior finish and interior fit out. Your hut can come ready to connect to your own electricity and water supply, or alternatively we specialise in a completely “off-grid” solution, with solar powered lighting, bio-fuel cooking and heating, and even composting toilet facilities. We can deliver anywhere in the U.K. and we can also prepare your site and fully install your hut.

Aren’t they just nice looking sheds?
Well, you wouldn’t really want to work or sleep in a shed! Our shepherds huts are fully insulated, great for working, relaxing and generally spending time in during all seasons. Because shepherd’s huts are on wheels, no planning permission is usually required, so you can think of them as a unique additional living space for your home, without all the complexity and cost of an extension.

How much do they cost?
Squirrel Huts are terrific value, and fitted out as an Airbnb, can quickly pay for themselves and be making you a profit. A beautiful additional space like this will definitely improve the value of your home, but our guess is you won’t want to leave it behind if you decide to move! So you have the choice between static, movable or fully road-towable versions.

Choose either the traditional steel chassis, which can be moved around your garden or onto a trailer for longer journeys - or a fully road-towable version, absolutely perfect for mobile businesses such as mobile catering bars, coffee-shops, cocktail bars, barbers or hair-salons.
