Horse Barn Construction
In main-stream, commercial horse barn construction there are three primary types of construction to choose from however others do exist and can be discussed with Kaiser. Each of the three types presents their own beauty, pricing, advantages, and disadvantages.
The first type to discuss in designing an indoor horse riding arena is Laminated Arch / Beam Construction. Laminated Arch / Beam Construction is possibly the most beautiful way to build your horse riding arena. This type of construction type embraces people who long to surround themselves with wood. Laminated wood construction is for the discerning client who appreciates a wide open, airy environment in which to ride year round. This style is unequaled in appearance, finish, and craftsmanship.

The advantages of using laminated wood construction in your indoor horse riding arena is sheer beauty. There is no other type of construction that matches the quality and appearance. The disadvantage would be price. Laminated wood is also one of the most expensive ways to build an indoor horse riding arena.
Clear spans of up to 115' can be reached with laminated wood construction in your indoor riding arena. The wood can be finished in any paint or stain that is desired which creates many options for designing for visual appeal. The ceiling can be finished with tongue and groove wood siding to add another level of visual appeal. If there is no ceiling installed, the underside of the roofing would be seen. A horse riding arena built from laminated wood construction can be a weather-tight building, or an open and free-air building too. Laminated wood construction presents possibly the highest amount of design flexibility.
The next type of construction to discuss in design a horse riding arena is Pre-Engineered Steel. Pre-Engineered Steel is usually the next most desired construction type. It allows gable symmetrical construction with an airy feel to ride in. This is for the perceptive client who appreciates an unobstructed interior in which to ride year round. Appearance and finish can be matched to the client's needs and desires.
The advantage to using Pre-Engineered steel is achieving a lower price while maintaining an open, airy feel. The disadvantage is that not as many colors and design options are available when compared to laminated wood arches.
Clear spans of up to 120' can be achieved with Pre-Engineered Steel . The steel can be finished in any paint color desired. The ceiling can be lined with various types of material including tongue and groove wood. Eave heights can be set as desired with much design flexibility. The exterior can be clad with many different options such as stone, simulated stone, vinyl siding, board and batten, ship-lap, beveled, wood shingle, brick, stucco, and metal. Pre-Engineered steel typically prices in the middle of these three options.
The final construction type to discuss in indoor riding arena and horse barn construction is Post-Frame. This type is the most economical type of construction for your indoor riding arena and is also the type we use to build horse stables with. Post-frame construction will create a flat-ceiling which eliminates the open airy feel but brings the most cost savings to your custom horse barn. Post-Frame construction is for the client with discriminating taste who is budget conscience but still needs an environment in which to ride year round. The appearance and finishes can be constructed to meet your budget.
The advantage of using Post-Frame construction in your horse barn is the cost savings. The disadvantage is a slight loss in clear-span distance and the loss of the high ceilings. See a post frame project here: http://www.kaiserbuilds.com/project/equestrian/kindle-hill-farm
Clear spans of up to 100' can be reached with this type of horse barn construction. The trusses can have a ceiling added to them or painted "as-is" and the walls can be painted also. Indoor Riding Arenas can be built open for free-air or closed for weather-tightness. Eave heights and ceiling heights can be designed as required and exterior cladding can be installed as desired.
