Modular Horse Barns, It's all in the Details

When you decide to own a horse one of the first
decisions you will face is shelter and the
choices can be confusing. Should you go with a
steel building, pole building or a modular barn?
That answer will depend on several different
factors and you will need to weigh them all, but
this article is to make you aware of the
construction, safety and affordability of
modular horse barns.

Construction, a modular barn needs to be built
to withstand the stress of delivery and set up.
These barns are built in sections and more
material is used in each section to make them
sturdy enough to travel down the highway.
Materials include 6x6 pressure treated base
rails, sawn oak framing, board and batten
siding, 30 year roof shingles to name a few.
This type of construction also allows for a
wider selection of features and models. The end
result is a more sturdy building that can be
delivered right to your site and much less time
on that site by the construction crews.

Cost, one of the biggest arguments against
choosing a modular horse barn is that you are
not really saving money. Sometimes that is true,
modular buildings are built in a yard and shipped
to the site. This really saves on construction
cost but sometimes, when you add construction
extras like site preparation (which you will
have done anyway) or a crane the total end cost
can be as much as a stick built horse barn. The
answer here is value, the total value of the end
product. You get a building superior in
construction as mentioned above on a well
prepared site, an investment that will last for
many many years. And did I mention the
construction crew is on-site only a day or two
verses many weeks?

Choice, there is more to a modular horse barn
than a square box. You have many style choices
including everything from the basic Run-in Shed
through Shed Row, Lean-to, single level, and
multi-level loft type barns. You can choose the
number of stalls, the width of the center aisle,
sliding doors, swing doors, optional exterior
finishes, you get the idea. Choice and options
are a big factor in selecting the type of horse
barn you want.

Service, with a stick built barn you hire a
contractor to tackle and organize the project.
Many times subcontractors are used for parts of
the project which in turn leads to the many
issues involved with the contractor
subcontractor relationship. Also, should
something go wrong in the future who will be
responsible? With a delivered modular horse barn
you will most likely work through a dealer. One
person with one point of accountability and they
will have the full weight of the barn
manufacturer behind them. They will be able to
supply customer service more quickly and
satisfactorily than the hassle of going through
contractors and subcontractors.

So there you have it, all the important bases
are covered. I'm sure I made a convincing
argument for considering a modular barn
delivered to your site. I covered construction,
materials, cost, choices, options, and customer
service. I know you have many choices when it
comes to your horses and I hope a modular horse
barn will be one of them.
