Horse Barns
Are you looking for a simple solution for housing your horses? Look no further than a pole building. Easy to set up and modify, pole buildings are considered the most affordable solution for sheltering your equine freinds. All horse barns need to be sturdy and safe for your animals. As such, the design of the structure should not have any sharp or protruding edges. Pole buildings have all of these qualities and take a a few days to set up. The cost, additionally, is less than constructing a traditional wood barn.
Pole buildings come in several sizes. Smaller sizes, for example, are ideal as single stall horse barns. If you have several animals to shelter, larger pole buildings can have eight stalls or more inside, in addition to a hay storage area. Before you choose a pole building, decide on the size you'll need for the horse barn. The shelter should have an area for stalls, another for hay storage and tack, and a door large enough for all animals and equipment to pass through.
Although plans for horse barns can help you add stalls to the structure once it has been assembled, reflective insulation should also be added for temperature and condensation control. Animals, such as horses, create their own humidity causing ventilation to be very important. Be certain to use vented soffits and a continuous ridge vent or cupola to help the air circulate.
Dutch doors and dutch windows add a classic touch and functionality to your horse barn. These beautiful doors and windows increase air circulation while allowing your horse to either enter and exit the building or stick his head out of the structure for a breath of fresh air or to simply cure his curiosity.
