American Barn

There are lots of stables and shelters available throughout the UK. One of them, an American Barn, is perfect for providing all-year-round protection for horses and equipment, whether it is raging a gale outside or sunny and balmy. The traditional size of an American barn means that it is perfect for all types of equestrian use, riding schools, and livery yards.

An American Barn offers an internal stable for horses unlike some stables which are purely just a stable. If the american barn is fitted with double glazed windows, the horses will be cool in the summer weather and warmer during the chillier months. This makes it perfect for the unpredictable British weather.

Another benefit of American barns are that they allow you to separate the stable with partitions and galvanized grills so that it is easier to work with individual horses, helping to prevent infection, but at the same time ensure that the horses can still see each other and therefore and less likely to feel distressed. 

To create an American Barn, you can either convert an existing building or you can install a purpose-build barn.If you are located in a rural and exposed area, an American Barn provides protection from the elements and its timber framework ensures that the building blends into the natural surroundings as well as existing farms and building. This will help ensure you gain planning permission if it is needed where you want the barn to be.

In conclusion an American barn is a great solution if you want to provide shelter for several horses at one time but the building also has its uses for workers, particularly during the UK’s harsh winter months when it comes to mucking out and feeding the horses. Insulation is also an option to provide additional comfort for animals and people.
