What exactly comes in the Klene Pipe Portable Horse Shade Kit?

The kit is a complete, freestanding sun shelter measuring 10' L x 10' W x 9' T. Every kit ships with a heavy-duty galvanized steel frame built from 2 1/2", 10-gauge tubing, an 86% UV-blocking shade cloth, and a full set of tarp-ball bungee cords for fastening the cover to the frame. The shade cloth itself is finished with triple-stitched hems and rust-resistant grommets so the attachment points hold up season after season.

Who builds the Shade Kit, and how long have they been doing it?
The Shade Kit is manufactured by Klene Pipe Structures of Greensburg, Indiana, a family steel-fabrication company that has been building horse and livestock equipment since 1949. Pronounced "Klenny" (think Kenny Chesney, the country music star, with an L), the company is known for its patented H-8 "Hay Saver" feeders, Wrangler and Maverick run-in shelters, and bunk and mineral feeders. Their products are Made in the USA from galvanized steel and routinely last 20-plus years in the field.

What is the shade cloth made of and why does it last?

The cover is woven from super-strong monofilament that blocks 86% of UV rays while still letting heat escape and breezes pass through, so the air underneath stays noticeably cooler than under a solid roof. The fabric is mold- and mildew-resistant and engineered to resist fading, cracking, and rotting, which is what keeps it serviceable through repeated summers of direct sun. Combined with the galvanized frame, there is no wood to rot and no painted surface to peel.

How does the Shade Kit stand up to wind and weather?

The 10-gauge galvanized steel frame is engineered to be solid enough to take abuse and is built so it won't blow over in high winds (short of a tornado). The portable design bolts together in minutes and can be relocated as your pasture rotation or herd needs change, so you are not committing to a permanent poured foundation. Because the cover is monofilament mesh rather than a solid tarp, wind passes through instead of catching it like a sail.

Why do horses need a dedicated shade structure?

Horses left in open pasture can overheat in direct sun, and animals with light skin, pink noses, or white markings are especially prone to sunburn and longer-term skin damage. A shaded loafing spot lowers direct UV exposure and gives the herd a cooler place to rest, which supports overall health, comfort, and longevity. Klene Pipe notes that horses will actively seek out the shade and settle under it on hot days, making it one of the simplest welfare upgrades you can add to a turnout.

What does the Shade Kit cost and how do you order one?

The Portable Horse Shade Kit starts at $2,195 delivered anywhere in the continental US, excluding Alaska and Hawaii.
