• Timber

    Our shelters are built with NZS 3604:2011 compliant timber to ensure safety and quality. This is a New Zealand standard for timber-framed buildings, which means the timber used in the construction of the Peter and Son Pet and Animal Shelter meets high standards of safety and quality. This compliance ensures that the shelters are not only durable and robust but also safe for your pets.

  • Corrugated Iron

    The roofing iron on our shelters is designed to meet New Zealand Building Code standards for a minimum of 15 years, ensuring durability and reliability. 

  • Hardware

    The hardware in the Peter and Son Pet and Animal Shelter is all galvanised. This galvanisation makes the hardware resistant to rust and corrosion, ensuring it can withstand outdoor conditions and last for many years.

    The shelter is also seriously braced for long-term durability with joist hangers and nail plates. This professional quality ensures the shelter can withstand heavy loads and harsh weather conditions. The shelter is held together very securely, preventing it from shifting or coming apart over time.

Trustworthy Pet Care

No more lost sleep over your pets

With a Peter and Son Pet and Animal Shelter, you can finally bid farewell to restless nights worrying about your pets. Our shelters are designed with waterproof materials, a solid timber floor, and a closed back end to provide a safe and dry environment for your pets. The added feature of foam seals under the corrugated roof iron ensures that no rain can enter, keeping your pets warm and dry even in the harshest weather.

Responsibly protecting your animals

My shelters are not just shelters, they are a promise to responsibly protect your animals. Crafted with tanalised timber and galvanised roof iron, these shelters are built to last, providing a sturdy and durable home for your pets. The use of NZ renewable timber further underscores our commitment to sustainability and responsible pet care.

You can feel secure knowing that your pets are safe in a shelter that is designed with their needs in mind. Made in NZ, our shelters are a testament to quality craftsmanship and a love for animals. Rest easy, knowing your pets are protected with Peter and Son.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which pets can use the shelter?

Our animal shelter is designed to comfortably accommodate a variety of small animals. It has been successfully used by owners for dogs, sheep, pigs, and goats. The shelter is also suitable for miniature horses. Its versatile design ensures a safe and comfortable environment for your beloved pets or farm animals. Please note that the suitability of the shelter may depend on the specific needs and size of the animal.

Is the shelter comfortable all year?

Our animal shelter is designed to provide a comfortable environment for your pets throughout the year. In the summer, the shelter provides ample shade, helping to keep your pets cool. During the winter, it offers protection from the rain and prevailing winds. The shelter is constructed with corrugated iron that features a rubber seal between the back wall and the corrugations, preventing water from seeping inside. Additionally, the back wall is designed to keep out water from the prevailing wind. The floorboards elevate your pet off the damp ground, ensuring they stay dry and comfortable.

“If I could talk to animals, just imagine it” lyrics to popular Sammy Davis Junior Song.

We ordered a sheep shelter from Tony and were delighted with the quality when it arrived. Sammy Davis Junior and David Bowie, our grandchildren’s ex Ag Day lambs, are also very pleased. Throughout the process, Tony’s communication was first class while discussing the flooring options and delivery. He helped unload and position the shelter which went above and beyond what was expected. We recommend Tony’s workmanship and general approach without hesitation. Philip and Jenny

Cape Cod | Chair
Jenny Fowler (Christchurch, NZ)

We are delighted with our two Cape Cod chairs. They are sturdy and stylish. Most importantly for us they do not budge in a breeze - we live in a high wind zone and wanted something that would stay put. Tony was excellent to deal with and even dropped the chairs off to us on his family holiday to the South Island. Truly great quality and service.

Best filleting table

Looked at a lot of options before finding Peter&Son.
I wanted more height so I wasn’t bending and space to put fillets as well as room for two to use. What I got is amazing, plenty of space and good height. Thoroughly recommend.

Coolio

Thanks for your efforts!
