In this blog, we will delve deeper into the benefits of our metal horse barns so you can understand why they make the perfect shelter for your horses.

Why build your horse barn with metal?

Durability

As a horse lover, you want to ensure your horses are safe and healthy. The problem is that traditional wooden barns are often less durable than metal barns. Wooden structures are also susceptible to rot, mold, and termite damage. They also tend to be vulnerable to hurricanes and heavy snowfall, so they’re not the most reliable structures during severe weather conditions.

These problems are eliminated when you choose a metal horse barn. Steel buildings make the perfect equestrian facilities because they are strong enough to withstand high winds and intense snow loads. Plus, they can survive earthquakes. Metal barns are also unlikely to be destroyed by fire because they are inherently non-combustible.

A Healthier Environment for Horses 

Worried about your horses’ health? Metal buildings can help maintain a cleaner and healthier environment for the animals because they resist mold and pests. And because these are durable structures, they have low maintenance requirements and won’t require regular staining or painting.

Cost-Effectiveness

Metal horse barns can be more cost-effective than traditional wooden barns because they are durable and long-lasting. Their minimal maintenance requirements can mean long-term savings, as they eliminate excessive spending on upkeep and repairs.

The savings start from the moment we design and fabricate your metal barn. We engineer these buildings based on your load-bearing requirements and local codes to avoid excessive material usage. We optimize the use of resources to eliminate residual waste. By designing your barn in-house, we make sure you pay only for the materials used.

Reduced Labor Costs

Armstrong Steel metal horse barns are pre-engineered, and the parts are configured to fit seamlessly, effectively decreasing labor costs. We punch the major parts and connections and ensure all components are numbered so your barn is easy to assemble when you follow the drawings we provide. All these can ultimately help you save money.

Build your barn faster.

Building a wooden barn takes at least a few months. In contrast, metal barns are quicker and easier to erect. It’s like building a model kit with all the parts ready to assemble. At Armstrong Steel, we make sure all major connections have pre-punched holes so they are ready to bolt together. All you have to do is follow our custom assembly drawings to know where each part goes.

Customization Options 

Metal horse barns come in various sizes, layouts, and designs, ensuring you can create the perfect housing for your horses. At Armstrong Steel, our pre-engineered steel buildings can be customized with almost any construction material. This gives you the freedom to personalize your barn with the interior and exterior finishes you want. You don’t have to worry about the barn looking like a warehouse because it can accommodate all wall and roofing materials and styles, such as stucco, brick, and CMU.

Our building experts will work with you to ensure the barn’s length, width, or height will suit your needs. They will help you design your barn and customize the layout and size of stalls for your horses, ensuring enough space to keep the animals comfortable. Our team can also help you navigate the door and window options to provide adequate natural light and ventilation for your horses. Metal horse barns can easily accommodate large door openings, so you can move the horses with ease.

Adaptability 

Your needs may change as you get more horses or require additional rooms. No worries — metal horse barns are easy to modify or expand to accommodate new storage areas, new stalls, and other features. The clear-span and modular framing systems allow endless length and width extensions while providing uninterrupted interior space that’s perfect for indoor riding.
