The perfect shed is the one that serves your needs and the needs of your alpaca.

As an alpaca owner you'll have food to store, equipment to protect and possibly the need to bring your alpaca indoors for husbandry tasks when the weather is less pleasant.

Your shearer will likely thank you if you have a suitable barn or shed for shearing too. And a location that is safe and dry can be a welcome addition to your farm when cria are born or you have a sick alpaca that needs some care and attention.

If you have a shed or barn on your property and you can be sure it is safe for alpaca, it may just be all you need. However if you're looking to invest in a new shed, there are some things you might want to consider.
