Cool and comfortable are key components for horse-keeping
in Florida. The natural insulating properties of wood
barns keep heat out and cool air inside so much better
than metal pole buildings or pole barns.

Here's Why
Horizon Structures Barns
Sell So Well In Florida,
Unlike Metal Pole Barns & Pole Buildings ...
|
|
|
Heat and humidity can take a toll on buildings,
horses and people!
- Moisture in the air promotes growth of mold,
fungus & rots wood
- Your horse needs a comfortable home
|
- ALL Horizon Structures barns sold in Florida
can be upgraded with CYPERSS
board & batten siding instead of white pine
- The natural oils in cypress’ heartwood
make it one of the most durable woods when exposed
to decay-causing moisture conditions such as
high humidity.
- The NATURAL INSULATING properties of wood
keep Horizon Structures’ barns cooler
– unlike metal “hot box”
pole barns or pole buildings.
- Choice of stall doors and extra large window
cut-outs increase ventilation and air flow.
- Wood siding absorbs moisture unlike metal
which will rust.

Wind
Rain
|
- We’ve outfitted our Florida barns with
a “Hurricane Kit” at No Extra
Charge (only on Shed Rows & Run-in's)
- Wood siding and shingle roof won’t rattle
your horse’s nerves like metal.
- Windows and doors
close tight to keep out driving rain.
- Solid Construction stands strong.
- 4x4 solid oak post and beam frame.
- 1x10 board siding.
- 1x8 solid oak kickboard inside.
- 6x6 pressure treated beam base with steel
reinforced corners
|

|
Termites |
- Our Pressure Treated Wood Base (standard)
and CYPRESS Siding (upgrade) is the key. Here's
why...
- Termites typically get into a building by
coming up through the ground and burrowing into
the foundation. The pressure treated 6x6 timber
base forms an excellent and effective barrier.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service
agrees.
- Putting down a cement slab, while not necessary
for Horizon Structures barns, also helps keep
termites at bay.
