We Create Fantastic American Barns
American Barns offer a practical, spacious solution for housing horses, designed at any size to create a relaxed, sociable, and airy environment. The generous headroom improves airflow and adds to the overall comfort of the space.
Unlike traditional stable yards, American barns house everything under one roof, from loose boxes and tack rooms to hay and bedding storage, keeping horses and equipment protected from all weather conditions. Many horses thrive in this style of build, enjoying a greater sense of herd connection over isolation.
We offer a wide choice of construction materials, including steel, brick, stone, or timber, with a range of roof types that can incorporate light panels for natural illumination. All materials meet planning requirements. Internal stables come in various styles and sizes, and optional rear top doors can enhance both ventilation and views for your horses.
Start Your Barn Project
No two yards work the same way, so we design every barn's layout around yours. We'll help you decide how many loose boxes you need and where to place tack rooms, feed stores and hay and bedding storage, so everything is close to hand. Internal stables come in a range of styles and sizes, with optional rear top doors for extra ventilation and views.
Most American barns need planning permission, and that's where many projects stall. We work with a specialist planning consultant to design a scheme your local authority can accept, including on sensitive sites in Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty. We'll also plan the barn's position, access and drainage so it sits well on your land.
An American barn can be far more than stabling. We've built barns that combine stables with a wash bay, solarium and stocks, and can include offices, tack rooms and groom accommodation under the same roof. Everything you need for the daily running of your yard sits in one secure, weather-proof building.
Every project starts with a free site visit. We'll talk through how you use your yard, how many horses you keep and what you'd like the barn to do, then advise on size, layout, materials and budget. You'll come away with a clear plan for a barn designed around you, not an off-the-shelf design.
With everything under one roof, mucking out, grooming and tacking up all happen in the dry. We build in steel, brick, stone or timber, and can add roof light panels for natural light and roof oversails that shelter horses looking out of rear doors. Inside, a lightweight liner sheet gives a smoother, brighter finish to the roof.
All of our staff are directly employed and come from equestrian or agricultural backgrounds. We own all of our plant, machinery and transport, so once we start on site we work continuously through to completion. Our team understands horses too, and will pause machinery whenever needed so we never spook the horses on your yard.
