Modular Horse Barns
Modular Horse Barn is probably the most affordable way to build the center aisle barn for horses. There are many styles and types of Modular Barns available. Some known styles built by horse barn builders and manufacturers in Pennsylvania (Lancaster County) are: “Loft Barns”, “Economy Barns” (also known as Low Profile) and “Monitor Barns”. Most of these barn styles are built with wooden siding and oak framing.
When shopping for a modular horse barn, we strongly recommend to look at the construction specifications and details. One of the most important aspects in modular barn construction is the wall height and the height clearance inside of stalls and under loft in the center aisle. As far as we know, only Loft Barns offer good height inside of stalls and center aisle. If you take a Monitor Barn or Low Profile Barn, both of these barns have only 7’5 high walls and Monitor Barn only has 8′ of headroom under loft in the center aisle. Such barns are OK to use for small horses and ponies, but what about larger horses? For any large horse, we recommend at least 10′ headroom inside of stall and at least that much inside of the aisle.
It’s interesting to note, that despite inferior construction and lower wall height, a Monitor Barn costs approximately the same as a Loft Barn. Therefore, for the same money, it only makes sense to go with the barn that gives you more headroom inside of stalls, aisle and the loft. Happy Shopping!
