Diverse Barn Styles
Having an extensive history of constructing various styles of barns, we can offer firsthand insights into the advantages and disadvantages of each design. Explore the following primary barn types, accompanied by pictures to help you make a well-informed choice:
Shed Row Horse Barns
Shed row horse barns showcase a straightforward design with horse stalls arranged in a single row, from which the name is derived. In contrast to other barn styles mentioned, shed row barns lack a complete enclosure for the stalls. Although this design may pose challenges in dealing with horses during various weather conditions, it stands out as the most budget-friendly option among barn types. Shed row barns are frequently the initial choice for hobby farmers making their first investment in a barn.

Trailside Barn
The trailside barn style is a significant upgrade from our shed row barns, both in terms of cost and professionalism. With a single-story design, this barn offers a complete interior space, enabling you to work comfortably with your horses regardless of the weather. The construction of the center aisle barn maximizes your available space, allowing for stalls on either side of the aisle. Customize Trailside Barns easily to accommodate the size of your herd.
