Horse barn renovations are an ideal way to upgrade an existing structure in an affordable way, compared to starting from scratch. Simple changes can improve upon the overall look and function of a barn. This helpful blog post is brought to you by American Stalls. The team at American Stalls can help you through your renovation, no matter how big or small of a job.
It only takes a few changes to improve the look of a barn. Read on to learn about six products that can improve your barn’s style and safety for your horse.
1. New Stall Doors and Grillwork
The stalls inside your barn are one of the first things visitors notice. American Stalls is experienced with replacing existing stall doors and/or older grillwork. This upgrade helps bring in a modern look, increased ventilation and fixes any old or damaged hardware. This Texas project showcases a new barn and an older barn that had its stalls upgraded.
2. Barn Lighting
Visibly at all hours is an essential part of good barn design. It’s important to use natural light whenever possible, but keep lighting in mind for night time as well. American Stalls offers elegant gooseneck lamps and sconces for your barn’s exterior and interior aisles. These lights are custom built in the United States.
3. Interlocking Rubber Pavers for Barn Aisles
The barn aisle is an important component in a barn. Rubber pavers can be installed over existing concrete or can be used to replace interlocking rubber mats. The pavers come in a 7/8″ thickness for concrete floors or 1-3/4″ for packed dirt bases. These thicknesses help provide the ultimate in comfort to both tired human feet and horse legs. American Stall’s rubber pavers are manufactured using the highest quality recycled rubber and manufacturing processes. They are built in a way to be extremely durable and environmentally friendly. Each paver also features a textured non-slip surface that provides ample traction during dry and wet conditions.
4. Exterior Dutch Doors
If you’re looking for a way to bring in more light and accessibility to your barn, dutch doors are a wonderful option. Having the ability to open and close the top and bottom doors brings in more air and sunlight on nice days. These are perfect for horses with in and out stalls or who have direct access to a paddock or pasture.
5. Stall Mattress Systems for Horse Stalls
As horse owners, we all know the importance of proper flooring and footing for our horses. While regular interlocking rubber mats are functional, clients often splurge on our Stall Mattress systems for their existing horse stalls.
Each mattress is equal to roughly 4-6 inches of bedding. This thickness provides two main benefits. Firstly, it provides added comfort that keeps your horses’ feet well rested. Secondly, the thickness also decreases your bedding needs and costs significantly. Each mattress is topped with a seamless one-piece top cover that offers a non-slip surface. This surface provides ample traction for your horse, but also makes for faster clean up times.
6. Automatic Waterers
Automatic waterers are a great way to save time on chores and always provide fresh water. These systems allow for you to save time and energy in providing your horses with access to fresh and ample water.
