  Additional Horse Shed Construction Information:

  • Run-in sheds with wider openings, require larger header size (2×10 or 2×12)
  • We might use 4×4 Southern Yellow Pine posts on large shedrow barns
  • Keep in mind that inside dimensions of stalls and run-ins are approximately 8″ smaller than outside dimensions
  • Optional T & G barn siding (if ordered) is face-nailed with Hot Dipped Galvanized nails
  • If Dutch doors are placed on the  back wall, they won’t be full 7′ tall.  Due to shorter back wall, they’ll be only 6′-6″ tall
  • All windows on shedrows are single pane 6-lite wood sash (28″W x 25″H) that slides to the side to open
  • Solid wall partition is standard between tack room and stall (grilled partition is optional)
