"MODULAR LOFT BARN" CONSTRUCTION SPECIFICATIONS & IMPROVEMENTS

Our "Modular Loft Barns" are designed to accommodate larger horses & to provide more headroom inside of stalls, aisle and inside the loft.  Different style of roofs, such as gambrel roof or high pitch roof can be constructed over standard modular barn sections.  Many options such as lean-tos, dormers, cupolas, etc. can be installed as well.

Different lofts may be installed and used on our Loft Barns.  You have an option of having a full loft (for more storage space), loft over the center aisle (provides over 10' of headroom inside of stalls) and loft over stalls with open aisle (provides beautiful open look barn and 18' of headroom inside the aisle)
 

Our most popular modular barn is 36'x36' with four 12'x12' stalls, one 12'x12' tack room and one 12'x12' wash stall.  This barn is delivered in two 12'x36' barn sections and material package.  After sections are in place, it takes our crew about one week to finish the barn (will take longer for bigger barns).
