I know this is too late for this year, but maybe it'll help next year. I had the same problem - a bunch of people with no shelter; I searched for plans for a stable on the internet but found none...so I designed my own. I have a materials list, step-by step instructions and photos to help along:

Good luck, and God bless!
Wow, aren't you sweet???
First of all...*welcome* to FR!! And second of all...your Manger is fabulous! How were you able to figure all that out? I am definitely saving this page (I hope you are planning on keeping it around for at least this year) and will definitely give it a try! Thank you soooo much! I am still amazed that there weren't any plans online.
That said, though...this will give you a chuckle. Someone here mentioned the idea of maybe using some pallets, and when the final pieces of this Nativity set arrived at my door, they were dropped of...guess what...on a pallet! My husband and I were running out of time, so we pulled out some nails, moved some boards, added some scrap wood from the garage, and wouldn't you know...our display won 3rd prize in the neighborhood contest! Lol! The homeowners' prize committee (lol!) even gave us one hundred fifty smackeroos!
We will definitely need a "real" Manger for next year, and your plans look very well thought out! The pictures help me tremendously, too!
Again...thank you sooo much!!! I do hope you might stick around FR a bit, too!!
Take care!! :)
I would like the plans for a stable for our nativity scene.I saw your posting on Jan 06.
We bought beautiful Nativity Figures from Sam’s club last year and a stable would only complete the scene. I understand you have a list of materials,step-by-step instructions and photos. Your responce would be greatly appreciated.
Greatfully yours
