Horse Barns
Horse Barn Builders for Rochester, MN
Acreage around Rochester is full of horse owners, from a couple of pasture horses to a boarding string. The right barn is dry, airy and easy to work in. That means stalls with a firm, drained floor, an aisle you can turn a horse in, and big doors at each end. The pad should sit above the grade around it so water stays outside.
Light and air matter as much as the layout. Windows or openings on the sidewalls, a ridge vent and a pitched roof carry moisture out of the barn all year. Keep hay in a separate loft or lean-to, away from the animals, and put the feed and tack rooms on the end nearest the house. An indoor arena is a clear-span post frame building with a footing mix inside, built as a larger version of the same barn.

Questions
Horse Barns FAQs
How many stalls do I need?
Plan one per horse, plus an extra for a sick or visiting animal. Add a wash stall if you can.
Can I build a barn on a slope?
Yes, with a graded pad and drainage. The barn should sit above its surroundings.
What does a horse barn cost?
Stalls, aisle length, finishes, footing and utilities decide it. Ask for a free written quote.
Do I need a permit?
Often. A working farm can be exempt from the State Building Code, but county land-use permits and setbacks apply.
What about an indoor arena?
Yes, a clear-span post frame building with a footing mix can be built to the size you need.
