Horse Barns
Horse Barn Builders for the Twin Cities
Horse property survives at the edges of the metro, from Lake Elmo and Afton to north Anoka County and the south Dakota County farms. A good horse barn starts with airflow and drainage, not decoration. Stalls are usually 10 by 12 or 12 by 12, an aisle wide enough to turn a horse and handle gear, and dry ground sloped away so water never stands in the barn. Post frame gives wide, clean spans without interior load walls.
Ventilation does more for horse health than any finish. Ridge vents, sidewall openings, and doors that open to the aisle keep air moving through winter and summer. Tack rooms, feed rooms and hay storage should be separated and sealed from the stalls. Add a wash stall, an arena-type clear span or a covered run-in as your plans grow. Check zoning before you commit, because horse keeping rules differ by city and county.

Questions
Horse Barns FAQs
How many stalls can I fit?
That depends on your site, layout and local animal-keeping rules. The builder will draw a layout around your acreage.
Do horse barns need special ventilation?
Yes. Good airflow reduces dust, ammonia and moisture. Ridge and sidewall vents and aisle doors do most of the work.
What does a horse barn cost?
Stall count, aisle length, tack and feed rooms, ventilation, footing and utilities all matter. A free quote follows a description.
Do I need a permit?
Usually, and zoning may limit animals per acre. A working farm barn can qualify for an ag exemption, but setbacks apply.
Can I add an arena later?
Yes, if the layout leaves room. Place the barn so a clear-span arena can attach to one end.
