There are many different styles and sizes of horse barns. Each one depends on the climate of the area, the number of horses, the budget of the owner and the type of operation.
- Center aisle or breezeway barns - Gable and Raised Center Aisle barns are the most common barn styles. Wash stalls and tack stalls can also be included in this format. This style suits a colder climate as it is not necessary to leave the building to do stall maintenance and feeding. Grooming and health checks can be done easily in this center aisle.
- Shedrow barn - These barns have all the stalls in a row or inline with an overhang over the front of the stalls. These are more economical barns since they do not take up as much square footage as a breezeway barn does. Shedrows are most effective in warmer areas since the stall fronts are exposed to the open air and ventilation is abondant. Different size overhangs are available starting from a 2' cantilever overhang ranging up to a 14' posted overhang. "L" or "U" shaped shedrow barns are also available.
- Double row barn - Especially suitable for warmer climates. This barn has two rows of stalls back to back in the center of the building. The outlying "aisles" can be left open without walls for ventilation. Different size overhangs are available to protect the stalls from the rain.
For the single horse owner there are many variations of a single stall/run in shed building as well.
Absolutely! We pride ourselves on working with our customers to build a facility that meets their needs. Our first objective is to listen to your ideas and needs. Whether you have a specific design in mind or just know your main requirements, we will work with you and make suggestions so you can get the most out of your barn.
Yes. If a standard item (for example: windows and doors) do not meet your needs, just let us know what you’re looking for and we will special order it for you.
Yes, engineered building and foundation plans are included in your building price, unless other wise mentioned. Once a contract is signed and the building design is agreed upon, this information is sent to the building manufacturer where they have their engineering department draft your building plans. We will provide you with 3 sets of plans and 2 sets of calculations, which is usually what is required by the building department for a permit application. If you need more sets to apply for your permit just let us know, we will be happy to accommodate any county requirements.
Typically we will give you a engineered, delivered and installed building price separate from a foundation price. Your engineering that is included in your building price however will include a foundation plan that will show what the engineer requires for the foundation. Many times we can give you a concrete budget price along with your building price. However that price can be used for budgeting purposes only. This is because until we have those engineered building plans in hand from the manufacturer, we will not know exactly what the foundation will entail. Also something to keep in mind is that your local planning and building department will have a say on what your foundation will need to include so that you can obtain your building permit. So until we have your building engineering and the building department has reviewed the project and approved your permit, we cannot get you an exact concrete price.
Typically the process takes 60-90days from start to finish to complete your building. The timeline below will give you an idea of the typical process that you will need to go through.
