Custom Horse Barn Design & Planning
Our horse barn design process at DGstoltzfus considers critical factors including number of stalls needed, horse size and breed requirements, and different stall sizes—such as 10' x 12' or 12' x 12'—to accommodate various horse breeds and preferences. We also address grooming and tack room space, hay and feed storage, wash stations, and ventilation systems.
We create custom horse barns that prioritize equine health, safety, and comfort while providing convenient functionality for daily care routines. From traditional wooden horse barns to modern metal horse barns and hybrid designs, our team transforms your vision into reality with detailed planning, proper drainage considerations, and expert execution that meets both aesthetic and practical equestrian needs.

For some clients, the concept of a custom or prefabricated horse barn may be new, and our team is available to guide you through every step.
Horse Stall Construction & Barn Layouts
Quality horse stall construction forms the foundation of excellent horse barn facilities at DGstoltzfus. We specialize in building high-quality horse stalls as part of our barn facilities, ensuring each stall is spacious and tailored to your needs.
We build spacious stalls with proper dimensions (typically 12x12 for average horses, larger for draft breeds), durable stall walls, safe stall doors with secure latches, proper flooring with drainage, and adequate ventilation. Windows are an important feature for providing natural light and airflow, and we offer customization options for window placement and size to enhance barn functionality.
Our barn layouts optimize workflow for feeding, mucking, and daily care while providing horses with comfortable, stress-free environments. We offer various configurations including center aisle barns with stalls on both sides, shedrow style barns with exterior stall access, and modular horse barns allowing future expansion as your operation grows.
For additional storage, you can choose to include a loft for hay or equipment. Stall door options include Dutch doors, which improve ventilation and access, as well as other secure door styles to suit your preferences.
Horse Stable Buildings & Boarding Facilities
For equestrian professionals and boarding operations, DGstoltzfus specializes in horse stable buildings designed for multiple horses and commercial use. Our boarding stable construction includes individual stalls with personalized features, spacious grooming areas, heated tack rooms with secure storage, climate-controlled feed rooms, wash stalls with hot water, and convenient barn office spaces.
Whether building small boarding barns or large equestrian complexes, we create facilities supporting successful horse care operations. Our customers consistently share positive feedback about their satisfaction with our completed projects, highlighting our trustworthiness and the quality of our work.

Pole Barns, Loafing Sheds & Run-In Shelters
Beyond traditional stall barns, DGstoltzfus builds pole barn horse shelters, loafing sheds, and run-in sheds providing economical shelter solutions designed to house horses safely and comfortably. Pole barn construction offers cost-effective, durable buildings perfect for turnout shelters, hay storage, and equipment housing.
Our run-in sheds give pastured horses weather protection from rain, snow, and wind while allowing free movement and natural herd behavior. Loafing shed designs provide open shelter with multiple access points, ideal for multiple horses, and help protect them from harsh weather conditions.
These structures feature sturdy construction, proper roof overhangs, and strategic placement for drainage and sun exposure, which is especially important for providing shade and shelter during the summer months to keep horses comfortable. When customizing your shelter, details like size and layout matter to ensure an effective and functional solution.
Premium Materials, Ventilation & Safety Features
Quality horse barn construction at DGstoltzfus prioritizes equine health and safety. We use only the best materials, including horse-safe smooth lumber without sharp edges, non-toxic stall finishes, fire-resistant construction where possible, and durable metal roofing protecting against weather and fire hazards, to ensure your barn is long-lasting and reliable.
Proper barn ventilation systems are critical—we design for adequate airflow, including power-vented cupolas that ensure a constant supply of fresh air for the health of the horses, while avoiding drafts.
Safety features include secure stall latches horses cannot open, breakaway ties, smooth flooring preventing slips, strategically placed fire extinguishers, and proper electrical systems with protected wiring. Customization options such as different siding choices are available to enhance both the appearance and protection of your barn. Every detail considers horse safety and handler convenience.
