Horse Barns · Frederick

Horse Barns in Frederick

Frederick landowners call us for horse barns, loafing sheds and riding arenas. Frederick is about 36 miles south of our base in Ault, CO, and Weld County is one of the three counties we build in.

This is acreage and horse-property country: barns with stalls and a tack room, loafing sheds, shops with an RV bay, detached garages and barndominiums on a few acres, often with an HOA or covenant to check before the plans are drawn.

The quote is free: tell us the size, what the building is for and where the property is.

What's included

Horse Barns we do in Frederick

  • 01

    Stall barns and aisles

    Center-aisle or shed-row barns with stalls sized for the horses you keep, aisles wide enough to lead and turn a horse, and sliding doors at the ends to open the barn up in summer.

  • 02

    Tack and feed rooms

    Enclosed tack and feed rooms with doors that close tight against dust and weather, and space in the plan for hay storage or a grooming bay.

  • 03

    Loafing sheds and run-ins

    Three-sided loafing sheds and run-in shelters that give pasture horses a dry place to stand, with the open side turned away from the wind your property gets.

  • 04

    Covered and indoor riding arenas

    Clear-span arenas, open-sided or fully enclosed, with the height to ride under. The arena base is graded and compacted for the footing you choose.

  • 05

    Ventilation and light

    Ridge vents, cupolas, eave openings and windows that move stale, ammonia-heavy air out without a draft at horse level.

  • 06

    Liners, insulation and condensation control

    Liner panels or wainscot along the stall walls, insulation where you want it, and condensation control under the metal roof so it does not drip on horses or hay.

Weld County, Colorado

Horse Barns around Frederick

We build all over Frederick and the rest of Weld County, including nearby Dacono, Firestone and Erie.

Frederick is one of the Carbon Valley towns along I-25 in southwest Weld County. Frederick is about 36 miles south of our base in Ault, CO, and Weld County is one of the three counties we build in.

Northern Colorado asks a lot of a building: spring hail, strong winds off the foothills and across the plains, heavy wet snow, swelling clay soil along the Front Range, and cold winters followed by hot, dry summers. So every building starts with engineered plans for the site's snow and wind loads, footings designed for the soil and set below the frost line, a pad that drains, and insulation, vapor control and ventilation planned in from day one.

    The metal roof and siding go on, then the vents, doors, windows and liner panels, and the stall fronts, tack room and feed storage come last.

Questions

Horse Barns in Frederick: FAQs

Do you build horse barns in Frederick, CO?

Yes. Frederick is about 36 miles south of our base in Ault, CO, and Weld County is one of the three counties we build in. We build horse barns, loafing sheds and riding arenas there, and the quote is free.

Do I need a permit for a horse barn in Frederick?

Usually. When one is needed, we pull it from the Frederick or Weld County building department, depending on which side of the town limits the property is on with engineered plans and build to whatever the permit and inspections require.

Does a horse barn need a building permit?

Often, but not always. Some counties exempt qualifying agricultural buildings from a building permit, and whether a barn qualifies depends on the parcel and how it is used. Larimer County's foothills also fall in a wildfire hazard area with its own construction rules, which a metal roof and siding suit well. We check what applies to your parcel in Larimer, Weld or Adams County and pull the permit when one is needed.

What size should horse stalls and barn aisles be?

Size them to your horses and your equipment. A 12-by-12 stall suits most average-size horses, while draft horses, foaling mares and stallions need more room. Aisles should be wide enough to lead and turn a horse safely, and wider if you clean stalls with a tractor or cart. We settle stall and aisle sizes with you before anything is drawn.

Do you build loafing sheds and indoor riding arenas too?

Yes. We build loafing sheds and run-ins for pasture horses, open-sided covered arenas and fully enclosed indoor riding arenas on a clear-span post frame. For an arena we level and compact the base under your footing and set the eave height for riding, with windows and ventilation along the walls.

What drives the cost of a horse barn?

Stall count, the size and height of the building and the level of interior finish set most of it. A loafing shed or run-in is a much smaller job than a center-aisle stable with tack and feed rooms and insulation, and an indoor arena is a bigger project again. Grading and the snow and wind loads at your property matter too. Fill out the form or call, and a local builder gets back to you with pricing.
