Shopping for Horse Barns & Facilities?

A metal building is perfect for horse barns and other livestock facilities with column-free designs and flexible floor plans to accommodate any of your horse housing and livestock needs. You will have ample space for commodity storage and livestock housing all in one building. Column-free designs provide flexibility for layout plans, as metal buildings do not require load- bearing walls. This gives you the ability to keep one area of your metal building dry for storing farm equipment while keeping the other areas open for your livestock needs.

Metal horse barns and livestock facilities provide the strength of steel and are resistant to fire and the elemements. Protect your horses and livestock investments from the threat of fire with a durable metal building. As you are minimizing the threat of fire, you may actually save on your insurance costs with a metal building. Check with your insurance agent about premium savings when investing in metal horse barns and livestock buildings.

    Q: If you were going to buy (or build) a new steel building for a barn, what would be the top 10 questions that you ask each steel building dealer?
    A: GOOD MORNING MR. MIZE: I wouldn't have 10 questions to the BUILDER--but I would have a few and then have the rest for his past jobs owners. BUILDER: 1. How long have U been buiding these in this area ? ( I would like to hear at least around 5--10 yrs.) 2. Show me some similar jobs in the area ! 3. Are you licensed ? 3. Who is your banker? OWNERS OF HIS JOBS : 1. Were you happy with his job? 2. Was his pre-lim budget estimate fairly accurate to the final cost? 3. Was completion date reasonably met? Visit his banker and local licensing agency. above all Pick the contractor you like for his attitude and approach, assuming the other matters are about equal. Go with the guy who seems to "have-it-all-toget-her" and you get along we...
    Q: I am thinking of building a pole barn wrapped in metal and with a concrete floor. The only place I have to build it is over field tile, (lateral line that drains the septic tank). I know I can miss the field tile with my post, but is there any thing I would run into, building the floor up a foot or two with dirt, then pouring a concrete floor over part of these? (the tile are deep and there is no building restrictions out in the boonies where I live). I would still have plenty of room to put more tile in if these ever fail. The field tile are 15yr old (black flexible ribbed pipe), and no problems yet. THANKS for a reply. MIKE
    A: G'MORNIN" MIKE : GOOD QUESTION. By now, the perforated drain lines should be somewhat brittle so that the process of scraping off the organics, hauling in fill and compacting same to proper support density, could collapse the drain pipes. However, as you pointed out, you have room to relocate and install a new drainfield in case of collapse. If you have 4 or 5 ft. of well compacted, undisturbed soil above existing pipes, they should hold up. At least you have a way out if it does happen. The cost is no more nor less than re-alignment before building. RED MC-1, ROOF HUGGER, INC.
    Q: I have a 48'x24' Pole Barn that is about 20 years old. The roof and the siding are both metal and are in need of replacement due to chalking/discoloration and some leaking. I would prefer to improve upon the looks of this barn while renovating it. Do you know of any good resources where I could see wood/steel pole building pictures, etc? I'm concerned that the current barn may not be engineered for wood panel walls, etc. Thanks in advance for any help you can provide me.
    A: HI--STEVE SANDERS ! Help is ON the way . Leave the existing roof and siding materials in place and retro-fit right over them . Choose a panel color that suits to freshen -- brighten up the old girl .A "facelift" to take out the old sags. Se our website at www.roofhugger.com -- on Google or microsoft "search" and U will see how it works. Buy you color panels from GARCO BUILDINGS at Airway Heights (Spokane) and they can pkg. with HUGGERS and deliver to job . Also we have experienced HUGGER guys in your vicinity who can do the whole job. Call if U need MORE. 800-771-1711 , RED MC-1 or DALE. ROOF HUGGER, INC. TAMPA, FL.
    Q: Hi there, I have been given a 60x100x14 pole barn for free if I can take it down in the next few months. It is in good shape and has 2-20'split doors. It all seems fairly straight forward and I have all the equipment, (lifts, trucks, etc) that I need. Most of the sheeting is nailed, not screwed. What is the best way to remove the nails. Cut the heads and drive the remainder of the nail in? If so can you recommend any tools ? or pull the nails ? Thanks
    A: Ben, As is always the case nothing is easy. When someone gives you a building the exercise for you is to realisticly look at your costs. Taking a building down and re-erecting it can certainly be done but the labor to take it down will usually be a fair amount more than it costs to put one up because of the care needed to disassemble, mark, stack and haul. Next although the wall panels should come off and be fairly easy to mark and stack for re-installation the roof panels typically are not. Pulling the nails may or may not go easy depending of whether it was a ring shank nail, smooth nail, leadhead, etc. Sometimes they have backed out a little and are easy to grab and sometimes not. I don't have any great advise execpt to try se...
    Q: What kind of footers are necessary to meet code for a pole barn 16 X 30 in Indiana
    A: I would contact the building department in the local city/county where the building is to be erected. Each county can have their own special requirements, so just looking for information on "Indiana" makes it difficult to determine.
