Pole Barns & Arenas
when space is a consideration, we provide room to ride
Pole Barn construction gives a builder some serious advantages when faced with the challenge of creating a riding space or dressage arena. While pole barns might not be appropriate in some horse barn applications, they’re a great financial and structural solution for other applications.
First, a well-designed pole barn addresses your need for space by allowing for a wide roof span and open riding area. The roof material often used in pole barns is steel. That means strength and durability. A steel roof also works well in riding arenas because they require minimal support.
Steel roofs also means fewer building materials in the building and around the edges. As all horse owners know, these majestic creatures can inspire awe in the way they move but they can also make you scratch your head. Because if there’s an uneven patch or a bolt or board sticking out somewhere in your barn or arena, your horse will find a way to bump into it. And that’s a headache you don’t need.
Pole barns are ideal for a dressage arena because they allow you to keep the original dirt instead of pouring a concrete foundation and then putting down a riding surface. While drainage might present a concern, we design all of our facilities with drainage, storage, ventilation and space in mind.
Finally, when Custom Barns builds your arena we address all the details. From wrapping traditional siding around the poles to coating the bottom of the supports to ensure years of trouble-free use, our pole barns are built to last.
Whether you are exercising a couple horses or hosting regular dressage events, our pole barns are functional, dependable and attractive structures that will last for generations.
