Thanks
I love your barn So much!We put this one up in the Fall of 2007. Our New Barn
Laura, what size is your carport, and the gates and stalls. That is exactly what we were thinking of doing. You all sure did a beautiful job! ThanksMy barn is very simple, but works well for my three geldings. I only use my stalls for feeding and during show season. Otherwise they have full access to the run in. It is set on a drylot. The pics are of it brand new. It's a little more weathered now, but still just a great!

Cheyenne, the boards in my stalls all run horizontally. What we did was just made our own type of U channel by running a small piece of wood (actually 2 pieces with a small space between) up the post, and placing the boards between them. As for the footing in the stalls, all I do is bed it down with a deep layer of straw. I had the same type floor in my old barn, and never had a problem with poor footing in the stalls at all. That is one of the reasons I like the "rough" lumber, is the texture as it doe offer a bit of traction. The floor is "raised" so there is about 6" air space between the floor and the ground, and yes, the pee does go through the cracks...another reason I like it. I do not stall my horses year round. I use the barn mainly for foaling season, so the rest of the year the straw is cleaned out of the stalls so it gets a thorough airing out.I love everyones ideas and barn set ups. Mona and those of you with stalls where the boards are set vertical...do you use some type of U-channel to set the boards in as opposed to hammering them all in? Also, Mona....I love your stalls. What type footing are you using for your wood floors? Is it easy to clean and does all the debris along with pee and manure go down thru the slits in the flooring?
