Does My Horse Really Need Shade?
Yes! Horses are actually sensitive animals that are naturally designed to handle cold better than they can heat. Horses can suffer from heat stroke just as humans can. If you see a horse that is ‘panting’ in the sun, get him to a cool area, hose them down and get them under fans right away! Better yet… make sure they have a shaded area so they don’t over heat in the first place! Our Shade Kits are easy to put together and your horse will love the Cool difference!

"I can't believe how wonderful and effective my 1 horse unit is. Our temps this summer are 110 degrees and Higher! When I step into my horse's shade, it is Much Cooler--- Notably Cooler! My little Morgan refuses to leave it until I take her into her stall (with fans) at night. She Loves IT. I have put her water and food there and the water stays Cool and doesn't get hot (and green) as it did before. I am thrilled, my horse is happy--- Highly recommend to anyone wanting shade for their horses! Super easy to put together (my hubby did in about 2 hours using only a wrench).

The Solution Section (FAQ)

Does my horse really need shade in summer?

Yes. Horses are naturally built to handle cold better than heat and can suffer heat stroke just as people can. A dedicated shaded area helps prevent overheating before it starts, which is why a portable shade structure is worth having in any pasture or turnout that lacks natural cover.

How much UV protection does the Klene Shade Kit provide?

The portable Shade Kit offers 86% UV protection and is a cooler alternative to standing in direct sun. The complete unit comes with 80% UV-block shade cloth featuring triple-stitched hems and rust-resistant grommets, so horses get a noticeably cooler place to stand on hot days.

What shade options does Klene Pipe Structures offer for horses?

Klene offers two DIY shade kits. The Complete Portable Horse Shade Unit is sized for one horse and ships ready with the UV shade cloth, bungee cords, and a galvanized steel frame (10' L x 10' W x 9' T). The DIY Portable Livestock Shade Frame uses a 10' x 20' frame for multiple horses and is available in 7, 8, 9, or 10-foot heights.

What are the shade frames made of and how durable are they?

The frames are built from heavy-duty galvanized steel using 2 1/2-inch, 10-gauge tubing that bolts together. Klene builds them to last for decades, often a lifetime, so the upfront cost is offset by structures that can save thousands in potential veterinary bills from heat stress.

How hard is the shade structure to assemble and store?

Assembly is straightforward: two people can erect a frame in about an hour, and the only tool you need is a 9/16-inch wrench. The structures break down for winter storage, and the larger livestock frame is built on skids so the only part touching the ground is the runner, making it easy to move from pasture to pasture.

Can the shade frames be used for animals other than horses?

Yes. While the frames are popular for horses and cattle, they also work well for goats, sheep, hogs, alpacas, and many other animals. The same portable design provides relief from the hot summer sun across a range of livestock sizes.
