Barn Plans and Stables add Function to Farms and Rural Properties

Barn Plan 051B-0002Whether you own a working farm, a sprawling ranch for raising livestock or just a small parcel of land and a couple of horses, building a barn plan or a stable is sure to enhance your property value and provide functional shelter for your livestock. There are many types of barn plans and stable designs available. They are available in a multitude of sizes and offer a variety of thoughtful features making them more efficient and functional then the barns and stables of yesteryear. Here’s a list of features that are commonly incorporated with today’s barn plans and stables:

 

  • Individual stalls, many offering outdoor access to a pen or pasture
  • Tack rooms
  • Storage areas
  • Sliding doors on either end of the structure
  • Storage loft
  • Finished loft with recreation area or living space
  • Half/full bath
  • Office

 

Barn plans and stables are ideal for those who raise/own horses, but they often work well for those who want to own a couple of cattle or few other farm animals but don’t need all the other outbuildings and accessories associated with a working farm or ranch. Browse our outbuilding collection to view our barn plans.
