You already know what your animals need. What you need is a corral that holds up to daily use, season after season, without bowing when a horse leans on it, rusting through in the Florida humidity, or working loose at the joints. Sandalwood Shed’s & More builds and sets up horse and cattle corrals for farms and ranches across Marion County and North Central Florida. We size the pen to your herd, your acreage, and the way you actually work your animals, then we deliver it, set it, and stand behind it. No hidden fees, no pressure, and an honest answer if a smaller setup is the right call.
Sandalwood Shed’s & More builds horse and cattle corrals for farms and ranches near Ocala, Florida. Each corral is sized to your herd and acreage, built from heavy steel for daily livestock use, and delivered and set up free within 50 miles of Belleview. Veteran-owned and family-run, we price every corral all-in with no hidden fees and give you an honest recommendation first.
Most livestock corrals fail for the same few reasons. The tubing is too thin, so it bends the first time a 1,200-pound horse or a sorting steer leans into it. The steel is raw or lightly coated, so Florida humidity and afternoon rain start the rust before the first summer is out. The gates sag, the pins wear, and the connections work loose until the whole pen feels sloppy. None of that shows up in the price tag. It shows up later, when you are out there fixing the same panel for the third time.
That is the real cost. A pen that has to be patched every season, an animal that gets loose because a latch gave way, a vet bill or a call from a neighbor because something wandered onto the road. You did not buy a corral to babysit it. You bought it to keep your animals where they belong so you can get the rest of your work done. You deserve a pen built once and built right, with steel that handles daily use and a crew that sizes it correctly the first time. That is the standard we build to.
We are not building corrals in a vacuum. We build them in the middle of the Horse Capital of the World, where farms, ranches, and hobby properties share the same red clay and the same wet summers. We know what holds up here because we deliver into it every week.
Turnout pens, paddock runs, and round pens sized for training or daily turnout. We set the height and spacing so a horse stays in and stays safe, and we can tie the pen to a shelter so your animals have shade in July. Pairs well with a run-in shed.
Holding pens, sorting areas, and working setups built to take pressure from cattle that lean, push, and crowd a gate. We size the layout to your head count and the way you move animals through it, so loading and sorting day goes smooth instead of sideways.
A corral plus a covered loafing area or run-in, so animals get shelter from sun and storms and you get a dry spot for feed, tack, or equipment. One delivery, one setup, one building that earns its keep.
Need more than a pen? We build loafing sheds, hay and equipment cover, and custom farm buildings through our metal building line, color-matched and sized to your property. Tell us the job and we will build for it.
A corral is one of those things you only want to buy once. The difference between a pen that lasts and one you fight with every season is in the steel, the sizing, and who stands behind it after the truck pulls away.
Tell us what you are running. Horses or cattle, how many head, how much room you have, and how you work them. That is the first question we ask, every time.
We size it and price it all-in. We recommend the right layout and steel for your animals and your acreage, then give you one honest price with delivery and setup included. If a smaller pen does the job, we will tell you.
We deliver, set it, and stand behind it. We bring it out, set it on your property, and we are still here after the sale if you need us.
We build for the people who actually do the chores. Horse farms running thoroughbreds, pleasure horses, or a couple of trail horses out back. Cattle operations that need a working pen that does not turn sorting day into a wrestling match. Hobby farmers and rural landowners adding their first animals and figuring out what a safe, lasting setup looks like. If you own acreage in horse country and you need your animals contained, fed, and sheltered, you are exactly who we build for. A lot of our corral customers also add a run-in shelter and a tack room so the gear has a dry home too.
We deliver corrals and farm structures across Marion County and the counties around it: Sumter, Citrus, Lake, Alachua, and Levy. Our hub is at 9946 US 441 in Belleview, just south of Ocala. Delivery and setup are free within 50 miles of Belleview, and on custom factory orders we deliver free up to 170 miles. That means the price we quote is the price you pay, with the corral set on your property, not a number that grows once the truck is loaded.
Sandalwood Shed’s & More is owned and run by Joe and Elisha, a veteran-owned, female-owned, family business right here in Belleview. Joe has been building for 30 years. Elisha went back to school, earned her master’s, and enlisted in the Army Reserves at 42. They run the place the way they would want to be treated. Since taking over, they have delivered roughly 200 buildings with zero repossessions, while some competitors have six to eight repos sitting on the lot at a time. That number is not luck. It comes from sizing things right, pricing them honestly, and telling a customer the truth even when it costs the sale. When you call about a corral, you are talking to the people whose name is on the building.
Picture the corral set and standing. The animals are where they belong, the gates swing true, and the steel still looks right after ten Florida summers. You are not out there re-tightening panels or chasing a horse down the road. You are doing the work that matters, on a place that is set up the way you wanted it. That is what a corral built once and built right buys you: time, peace of mind, and a setup you are proud to show a neighbor. When you are ready, we will get you there.
Yes. We build horse corrals, round pens, and turnout paddocks, plus cattle holding and working pens. We size each one differently because horses and cattle put different kinds of pressure on a pen, so tell us which animals you are working and we will build for them.
It depends on how many head you have, how much room they need to move, and how you work them. That is the first thing we sort out with you. We would rather size it right the first time than sell you more pen than you need or less than your animals can live with.
They are built for it because we live in it. Florida heat, humidity, and afternoon storms are hard on light, raw steel. We build with heavy steel meant to take daily livestock use and hold up through the wet season, so you are not patching rust and replacing panels every couple of years.
Yes. We deliver and set the corral on your property, and delivery and setup are included free within 50 miles of Belleview. On custom factory orders we deliver free up to 170 miles. The price we quote includes getting it placed, not just dropped at the gate.
Farm fencing and livestock pens are usually treated differently than a permitted structure, but the rules depend on your exact property, zoning, and whether you are inside a city limit. We do not pull permits, so check with Marion County for your parcel. We are glad to tell you what we know.
Absolutely, and a lot of our customers do. We can pair the pen with a covered loafing area or a run-in shed so animals get shade and storm cover, and you get a dry spot for feed and tack. It comes as one delivery and one setup.
Price depends on the size, the animals, and any cover or add-ons, so we quote each one after we know what you are building for. What we can promise is an all-in price with delivery and setup included and no hidden fees, plus an honest take on what you actually need.
In-stock items typically deliver in about 7 to 10 days, and custom factory orders usually run about 20 to 25 days. We will give you a real timeline when we quote so you can plan around your animals and your schedule.
All-in pricing, delivery and setup included, and an honest recommendation first. If a smaller setup is the right call, we will tell you.
