How Do You Build A Miniature Horse Barn?
Miniature horses are an economical alternative to their full size cousins. They are smaller, easier to keep and take up fewer resources, yet retain the beauty, elegance and nobility of their larger counterparts. This article will give you some tips on how to build a miniature horse barn. Begin with measuring for your barn. Stalls should measure a minimum of 6-by-6 feet, with 8-by-8 feet being a more suitable size. Make your measurements of the overall size of the barn based on these calculations. Height should be a minimum of 7 feet, with 10 feet being preferable to increase ventilation. Mark the size of the barn and then create your pad. The pad is the area that the barn will sit on that is raised above the level of the surrounding earth. This creates drainage and flood-proofs the barn. Use the sand to raise your pad at least 18 inches above ground level. Any concrete should be measured and poured at this time. Concrete is recommended for any aisles you choose to include in your barn
