Getting a Horse Barn Delivered is Easier Than You Think

When most of us were growing up the only thing anyone could count on to be delivered straight to your doorstep, was pizza.  Grocery stores used to deliver, just like doctors used to make house calls, and gas was ten cents a gallon.  These days getting something delivered usually means placing an order online or punching up an app on your phone.   It takes minutes and the shipping options are limitless.  But if you own horses or other livestock and your needs are more specific, the prospect of arranging home delivery can seem daunting. Contractors are an option if you want to build from scratch, but by the time you figure out what you want and what its going to cost to achieve our goals, you could already have an amazing horse barn on your property, the space you need to store feed and tack, and the added bonus of an office to run your equine empire from!

 Horses and their owners have a variety of needs, and what works for the retired farmer who keeps his old plow horse around, and a racehorse breeder who may need to expand during foaling season, means modular horse barns make it possible to customize the exact barn or shed to meet your individual needs.  Want ten stalls, a tack room, with a hay loft and an office?  How about a place for your horses to help beat the heat?   Or a wash bay for the FFA crowd?   There are so many things to consider when it comes to designing the perfect barn or shed that delivery options should be the least of your worries.

 Start by examining the kind of climate you live in, the number and breed of horses on your property, as well as other livestock that may need looking after.  If summers are particularly brutal where you live, run in sheds offer shelter from the sun, and many come with additional space for things like hay bales, wheelbarrows, hay rakes, shovels and feed. Shed row barns can be expanded from basic stalls for one or two horses, to several horses and room for other equipment.  A modular barn may be your best bet however, since they can be customized with the exact features you need to run your business more efficiently, and in many cases, you have the ability to move these structures where you need them, making them both versatile, and convenient.  You can start small, with just the basics, or you can jump in with both feet to get a structure both you AND your horses will enjoy.

 So whether you need a place to keep your daughter’s pony, or you are stabling a fleet of racehorses, don’t think for a minute that you are limited by location, budget, imagination or time.  Because the only thing better than having a pizza delivered, is sitting on the front porch of your house watching your custom designed horse barn being delivered and set up on your property, while you put your feet up on the rails and watch the game on your new ipad!
