Our New
"Barn" Then this next series is of the "construction" process of getting the shelter put up. The frame is made with a 2" square tubular steel. It is a 24'x40' shelter with vents over the door at each end and along each side. It is like a tent, in that it is screen and has a roll-up/down window cover. The doors are a double sided extra heavy duty zipper, but we built in doors instead.
This shows the shelter after the construction was complete, the floor being set down, and one of the "road" after I got it all raked and the large rocks all picked out. I had a wood floor in my old barn, which lasted me 15 years and could have gotten many more out of it yet if we had not tore it down. This one is made the same way and should last even longer since it is set on a raised gravel base. (the old one was on the plain ground) It is all done in rough lumber, with 2"x6" laying on edge, with 1'x6' screwed onto that. I don't want the natural ground and I don't want concrete. The wood works nice for me as it has small little spaces between the boards so urine can run below, and the wood is easier on the horse than cement is.
