American Barns - Deluxe

The Deluxe range features metal framed Internal panels and all the usual American Barn refinements.

American Barns are becoming more and more popular as an alternative to exterior stabling.

Arranged around a central passageway, American Barns are fast becoming a favourite in working yards, such as Liveries and Riding Schools. American Barns tend to make for a better, more efficient working environment for horse and work force, keeping everything under one roof and are warm and dry during the winter but cool in the summer.

We offer two ranges of American Barns: Standard and Deluxe. Below are specifications and details of our Deluxe range which features sliding or hinged doors and softwood 32mm timber used to infill the lower sections.
