Why Horse Barns Are Not Optional

Metal barns based on the framework of a portable garage are one possibility. As an asset, these structures can be ordered and set up quickly. In terms of holding up to the elements, these structures consist of a galvanized or powder-coated steel frame and metal that covers the top and at least two sides. For full stability, these structures must be anchored into the ground, or else they’ll be far more vulnerable to the elements.

Although convenient, these structures have virtually no downside. First, they last for many, many years with a minimum of maintenance. Just a quick wash with a hose or power washer and these steel barns will brighten up just like new. Second, structures with galvanized steel frames will last almost indefinitely. Third, they reflect heat, handle wind and hail, and have a high snow load that protects your livestock from virtually anything nature can throw at them.

A horse barn will provide better stability than other portable temporary horse shelters. By design, they are a solid structure of galvanized metal frame, metal top, and code-compliant trusses. While this design creates a more robust shelter from the elements, it also lasts longer and offers greater versatility.
