The corner area was a large wash room with a drain and a grooming rack and equipment storage. To the right of that with the window was the tack room. I really like this design. Is that three stalls? How big are they? Do you mind sharing how much this cost you to build? It was only 5k. The stalls were 12 x 12. Ohhhh, you can't just leave us hanging with that!! Lol! How on earth did you manage that?? What is constructed with? PLEASE, give me details!

Expert Posts: 1477 Location: In the land of peanuts and cotton	We have a 8 stall plus feed room shed row barn. I like it because I can leave my stalls open for the horses to get out of the weather. The only thing I have against a shed row barn is that in 12yrs we're on our 3rd one. Fist we lost in hurricain 2nd tornado/straight line wind. When we built it the 3rd time we left about a 2ft gap between the roof and back wall because what was happening is the wind was getting under the barn and hitting the back wall and didn't have anywhere to go so the gap gives it some where to go. It had a over hang on front and back to keep the rain out so no problems with that. Only thing I might do differnt is put some type of over hang on the 2 sides because my end stall and feed room do get a tiny bit wet if it rains hard.

	This is what I call a shedrow barn, pasture run-in or loafing shed ... without the peak in the roof or the fancy little overhang on the front which costs as much money as the whole shed does ... lol ... Think of building 1/2 of a real barn as your first building project. Look at these pictures and you can see that you can add another shedrow barn facing the first one and end up with a barn with an alleyway sometime in the future or if you build something like a 30 ft deep by 60+ feet long you can end up with a covered exercise pen and add a shedrow to one side for stalls etc etc ... or you can make a raised alleyway barn with no difficulty ... lot of ways you can go with this simple shedrow ... Rule of thumb on barns ... place your fully covered side to block your north or coldest storm winds and usually the open side to the east or south for summer breezes and almost no blow in from rain or snow. Your fully covered side should have 6-12 inch gap between top of wall and roof for air flow which is what horses need year around .. For cooling or keeping a barn warm have your back walls 10-12 ft tall and no ceiling fans to suck the 150 degree temp off the metal roof into your barn ... Use the standard dimensions that will be compatible with 12x12 stalls ... this is the industry standard and most horse barn gear is in 12 ft lengths which makes it easy to use panels for stalls or the fancy ones or build your own... Do a freeze free water faucet and locate it at the end of the barn so if it gets broken it does not flood your barn and you can easily build an overhang if you want a covered wash rack near the spigot ... save on electricity by having switches that will only light up half of the barn at a time .... and a real convenience is to have a motion sensor light at feed room door to light up when you walk into the barn ... most times this is all the light you need to groom a horse better or see your way around when checking on horses ... Keep in mind when you look at these pictures to have 10-12 ft rear walls and you can run sheet metal down the face of the higher front horizontal to the ground and use these if you increase the size of the barn in the future ... also think .... I am building one half of my future barn ... lol ... As you can see you can build one as nice as you want or gather up scrap and build a good horse shelter ... also think of using 12 ft swing gates for stall fronts ... easy to use a tractor or whatever to clean stalls etc etc ...

It has rained here so much that I would have to find different footing around the barn to keep mud at bay. ************************************************************ YOU ARE SO RIGHT ... I have seen so many people that did not raise their barn pad with dirt prior to building acting surprised that they have a river running down the center of the barn or a crawdad pond inside the barn .... YOU CAN'T CHEAT MOTHER NATURE ... lol Water is one of the hardest things to re-route ... so choose your barn site with care!!

Too Skinny Posts: 8009 Location: LA Lower Alabama	if I build dirt up and stop it at the edge the water will come to the edge as well. Make sense? If I concrete the floor like a barn the water and mud will be waiting at the edge of the concrete. Not forever but for sure in our rainy season. Horse hooves carry dirt out and eventually the shed would be a low spot. The rain falling off the edge of the roof will dig a trench around the edge. Etc. Just be mind full is all.

What Name? Posts: 1994	Came across this thread and thought I'd bump it back up. I'm curious if anyone has any of the smaller ones. I of course can afford a 15k barn. So I'm looking into something around the 6 k mark at most. Something along these lines, anyone own anything like this? Do you love it? Pros vs cons? I'm going to be doing 1 to 2 stalls 10x12- with a tack room

I highly suggest gutters and good drainage! I have been overly thankful for our drainage systems this year with all the rain!
