Classic Horse Barns with a Modern Twist

Our Colorado construction company builds classic horse barns with modern amenities. Whether you need a 2-stall, 6-stall, or 20-stall barn, today’s twist on yesterday’s designs will certainly be a pleasant surprise. Your equestrian outbuilding can be brighter and cleaner, better organized, and will far outlast traditional barn designs from last century.

Maybe you like the look of the beautiful barns dotting the Midwest. Nice roof pitch, dormers, flying gable, gambrel, overhangs, or wraparound porches. Not a problem. New technology engineered by Lester Buildings can mimic those charming features. Add cedar shakes, wainscot, or stucco and Dutch doors and/or an overshot ridge vent. The options are endless.

These horse barns are artfully designed using fully color-coordinated components. But, by upgrading to modern materials boosted by high tech designs, the work-ability of today’s equestrian facilities makes it much easier to care for horses.

Every aspect of a custom barn by Lester Buildings is tested for safety—the stall doors, Dutch doors, sliding doors, and specialty stalls to begin with. In addition, we promote air safety by utilizing exacting specifications for insulation, air flow systems, site preparation and arrangement,

What we have discovered in our journey constructing barns since the 1940s is that no two properties or businesses are alike. Our builder portfolio includes a wide variety of quality projects in all different sizes. Some can get by with smaller garage-like accommodations for horses; others need space for breeding and so forth. Check out the gallery at LesterBuildings.com to get ideas for your equine property. You will be impressed with the stunning samples presented there.

Basic areas to assist horse owners manage include the stables, stalls, tack room, wash bay, loading area, arena, viewing rooms, hay storage, etc. In Colorado, many owners also want a heated space for horses, and riders. The good news is that tall ceilings of pole barns allow for excellent air flow when properly designed with windows and doors, site angles, and so forth. Lighting is another important feature.

How about hay storage, an office, meeting facilities, social area for boarders, kitchen and restroom facilities? You may even want a barn with living quarters. Modern engineering allows for many purposes under one roof. So, let’s get started mapping out a strategy for a successful horse barn for you and your equestrian dreams.
