How much do shepherd huts weigh?

There are plenty of factors that affect how much a shepherd’s hut weighs, such as the type of shepherd’s hut, the size and material of the chassis, the size of the wheels and the extra features inside. Let’s take a look at the different factors that play a role in a shepherd’s hut’s weight.

Standard Sized Shepherd’s Huts vs Larger Huts with Extra Features

At Black Sheep Shepherd Huts, the standard hut weighs between 3 and 3.5 tons on average. The weight will also depend on the particular requests of the client; for example, the huts weight will increase when the client wants extra rooms or space for his/her own bespoke needs.

The Chassis

This medieval-sounding construction is as heavy as it sounds, about 500kg heavy. The shepherd’s hut’s chassis is the sturdy load-bearing framework that supports all of its weight. The weight of the chassis also depends on the material it’s made from, which is usually steel or wood. In our case, the wooden chassis weighs much more than our steel chassis.

The Wheels

Our standard cast-iron wheels (stub axles and hub caps included) weigh in at approximately 40 kg. Keeping those numbers in mind, let’s say you have four standard 40kg wheels multiplied by four – you’re literally sitting on 160kg of weight.

Other Components

Other components that can affect the hut’s weight include flooring, shepherd hut frames, walls, doors, and windows.

Thinking of Buying One? How Much Does a Shepherd’s Hut Cost?

At Black Sheep Shepherd’s Huts, our prices are up to 50% lower than most shepherd’s hut builders but with equal value – if not more.
