FAQ

How big should a horse barn be?

Start with the number and size of your horses, then add the space needed for safe handling and daily care. Stalls are only one part of the layout. You'll also need room for aisles, doors, feed, tack and possibly a wash area. If you expect to add horses later, think about that before choosing the building dimensions.

What kind of metal panels does Benton use for horse barns?

The applicable horse barn package uses 29-gauge and 26-gauge Rib panels panels. Metal roofing and siding help enclose the building and protect it from the weather, but panel selection is only part of planning a barn. Ventilation, condensation control and the safety of surfaces horses can reach should also be addressed in the finished design.

What kind of floor is best for a horse barn?

Different parts of the barn may need different flooring. Stalls, aisles, wash areas and storage rooms don't necessarily work best with the same surface. Drainage, footing, cleaning and slip resistance should guide the decision. Plan the floor system with someone familiar with horse facilities before installing concrete or other permanent surfaces.

How long does it take to get horse barn materials delivered?

Current delivery to Patterson Mill is estimated at 1 to 2 weeks. Use that window to work through permits, contractor schedules and site preparation. Confirm the estimate for your specific order when placing it and planning the overall construction schedule.

Should a horse barn have insulation?

That depends on the building design, local climate and how the barn will be used. Insulation may help manage heat transfer and condensation, but it doesn't replace ventilation. In horse housing, airflow and moisture control are important. Discuss the complete roof and wall assembly with the building designer before choosing insulation materials or enclosing the interior.

Can I store hay and feed inside my horse barn?

You can plan storage areas for feed and supplies, but hay storage deserves special attention because of fire risk, moisture and dust. Many barn designs separate bulk hay from horse housing. Think about how feed will be delivered, kept dry and accessed every day. Review the storage arrangement with a qualified equine facility professional before construction.

How wide should the aisle in a horse barn be?

The aisle needs enough room for horses and handlers to move without crowding doors, corners or stored equipment. Think about how horses will enter and leave stalls, whether you'll move wheelbarrows through the barn and how daily cleaning will work. Have the layout reviewed for safe horse handling rather than choosing an aisle width based only on available space.

How many colors are available for a horse barn?

Benton's applicable horse barn materials are available in 7 colors. You may want the barn to match existing buildings, or you may prefer a traditional farm-building appearance. Color is worth choosing early, especially if the roof and walls will have different finishes. Confirm the available combinations before finalizing the material order.

◦ Condensation
Moisture that forms when humid air contacts a sufficiently cool surface. Poorly managed condensation can cause damp conditions inside a barn.
◦ Tack Room
A dedicated area for storing saddles, bridles, grooming supplies and other horse equipment.
◦ Stall Partition
A wall or divider separating one horse stall from another or from an adjacent area.
◦ Post-Frame Construction
A building method that uses regularly spaced structural posts or columns to support the roof and walls. It's commonly used for agricultural buildings.
◦ Feed Room
A space used to store and organize feed and feeding supplies, with appropriate protection from moisture and pests.
◦ Eave Height
The height of the barn's exterior wall where it meets the lower edge of the roof.
◦ Ridge Vent
A ventilation opening near the roof peak that allows warm, moist air to escape when designed as part of a functioning ventilation system.
◦ Dutch Door
A door divided into upper and lower sections that can open separately. Some horse barns use them for stall or exterior access.
◦ Center Aisle
A passageway running through the barn, usually with stalls or other rooms along one or both sides.
