Our shepherd hut wheels

The wheels on our shepherd huts are a key feature and really add character to our bespoke huts. We get a lot of questions about where our wheels are from. No… they are not original wheels, BUT they are moulded from original wheels from an amazing Norfolk foundry

We have kept our cast iron wheels looking as close to the original as possible with a few added touches like our logo added to one of the spokes. We offer two different size wheels, 24’’ and 32’’ depending on customer preference. Centuries ago, a shepherd hut was a small portable home for shepherds to tend their flocks around lambing season. They needed to be durable and portable for horses to be able to pull through rural areas, so back then the bigger the wheels, the better!

We like to keep as many aspects of the craftsmanship and heritage of an original shepherd hut, including our wheels crafted by a time-served master blacksmith.
