Horse Barn 10 x 24

Horse Barn 10 x 24

A red open front 10 x 24 horse barn, often referred to as a loafing shed or run-in shed, is a specialized equestrian structure designed for easy access and weather protection. This 240-square-foot building is typically used to shelter two to three horses while allowing them to move freely between the barn and the pasture. 

Key Specifications & Features

• Dimensions: It measures 10 feet in depth and 24 feet in length. The height usually slopes from a high front (around 8.5 feet) to a lower back (7.5 feet) to facilitate drainage.
• Layout Variations:
• Full Run-In: A completely open 10x24 space for communal shelter.
• Divided Stalls: Split into two 10x10 or 12x10 stalls, often with an optional partition or gate.
• With Tack Room: Some configurations include two 10x10 stalls and a small 4x10 center or end tack/feed room.
• Exterior: Traditional "Barn Red" or "Rustic Red" siding, available in wood (board and batten) or durable 29-gauge metal panels.
• Roofing: Often features a lean-to or A-frame roof made of metal (typically black, charcoal, or silver) with a 1-foot to 2-foot front overhang to keep the interior dry during rain.
• Interior Protection: Includes 4-foot high kickboards made of oak or pressure-treated plywood to protect the walls from kicks and leaning weight. 
• Portability: Many models are built on 6x6 pressure-treated shipping rails, allowing them to be moved across pastures as needed.
• Foundation: For this size, most do not require a permanent concrete foundation and can be placed on a level gravel pad or directly on firm ground.
• Ventilation: The open-front design ensures maximum airflow, which is critical for horse respiratory health.
