Steel Frame Horse Barn
Technical Information

Steel Frame Barns - General Info
The roof is supported by vertical support posts (2" square tubular steel columns) located at every intersection of stall panels. The support posts carry the roof trusses (2" by 4" tubular steel beams) sloped at the desired roof pitch. The roof trusses are provided with purlin clips (angle brackets welded to the sides of the trusses) that carry purlins. Purlins (2" by 4" steel members) are parallel both to the ground and the roof ridge, span the Heavey Duty Truss Systemdistance between trusses, and carry the insulation, roof deck and roof materials such as steel roof panels and trim panels. Additional support is provided for the roof trusses by intermediate support posts located over the vertical braces at the mid-point of the stall panels.

For 12' x 12' stalls and 12' aisle widths, the roof is supported on 12' x 12' centers, and typically the trusses have additional support at 6' distances over the stall walls. The whole roof support structure is hot dip galvanized steel bolted together and is both strong and durable. Excellent stiffness (the ability to resist lateral loads) is provided by the stall panels. Actual live load and wind speed ratings depend on the number of purlins used, on the type of roof panel selected, and on the number and type of fasteners used to secure the roof material.

    Our wood stalls are proven to be 40% stronger than comparable priced stalls due to their design.

    The stalls are designed with the safety of both horse and owner in mind. All panels are heavy walled, solid welded one piece frame construction.




    Dividers
    Stalls are designed to allow the user the maximum freedom to set-up different stall configurations while maintaining lowest possible cost. The panels are made to accept 2" thick lumber, ½" plywood or *Composite Plate materials. All panels, connectors and hardware are Hot Dip galvanized after fabrication which provides the longest lasting finish in the business. All tubing is minimum 50,000 psi yield. Stall Products are warranted against defects in material and workmanship for a period (10) years from the date of purchase.

    Solid stall panel for wood:
    End channels and center channels are made from12 gauge sheet (.105) thickness and are formed to allow insertion of 2" lumber. Center channels are welded back to back to form a center column specifically designed to give added strength to the panel and the columns are notched to allow insertion of wood. Top and bottom tubes are made from 1½"x 16 gauge square Tube.

    Vented stall panel for wood:
    See above. Additionally, the top tube have (4) 7/16" round holes used to mount the Grilles.

    Vented panel require (2) grilles. It is constructed using 12 gauge channel on the bottom with 7/16" drainage holes for galvanizing. The bottom channel mounts over the top board creating a "cribbing channel". Vertical tubes are 1" x 16 ga round tubes spaced 4" on center. Top mounting strap is 3/16" x 1½" flat bar with 7/16" drainage holes for galvanizing and 7/16" x 1" slots for mounting. Grilles are mounted in place using 3/8" x 2" carriage bolts and 3/8" hex nuts.

    * Composite plate inserts are made of (2) sheets of .030 thick 80,000 yield galvanized steel sheet bonded to polyethylene-plastic center creating an extremely strong laminate material. Material approximately 7/16" thick.

    Stall Door
    Sliding Door
    Door track is specifically designed to create a self-cleaning track system. The door is constructed using 1 ½" x 16 gauge square tube on the top with (2) 9/16" round holes for mounting assembled door and trolleys. Side channels are made from 12 gauge sheet (.105) thickness and are formed to allow insertion of 2" lumber. The bottom of the frame is made from 3/16" x 2" x 2" formed angle.

    Front grille is 33 ½" high and is constructed using 12 gauge channel on the bottom with 7/16" drainage holes for galvanizing. The bottom channel mounts over the top board creating a "cribbing channel". Vertical tubes are 7/8" x 16 ga round tubes spaced 4" on center. Top mounting strap is 3/16" x 1 ½" flat bar with 7/16" drainage holes for galvanizing and 9/16" x 1" slots for mounting.

    The door has (2) Door stops made from 3/16" x 1 ½" flat bar specially formed to pull the door tight to the front when fully open or in the closed position. The door stops have a 7/16" x 1" slot on the mounting end to allow height adjustment during installation. Each sliding door comes with a Door Guide which is specially designed to keep the door captured at all times.

    Optional Fully Vented Sliding door
    The fully vented door has 6 gauge wire mesh welded in place covering the entire height and width of the door. This door is designed to be used where maximum ventilation is needed. Sides of the door is 1½" x 16 gauge square tube instead of the 12 gauge channels.

    The door is mounted and latched in the same manner as the standard door. (Opening space of the wire is specified by the purchaser. 2" x 2" is typical)

    Dry Track Stall Door - built to last with maintenance free dry track and trolley sliding door system and a 25 year corrosion free surface. The track is galvanized and the trolleys are made from high strength "Delrin" material.


    Roof
    Metal roofing can provide a good looking and durable roof and assembly is quick easy. Fascia trim is needed to support the ends of the roof panels at the eaves (and at the peak of a shed roof). Fascia trim at the rake finishes off the appearance and improves the ability to withstand high winds.

    Metal panels allow a wide choice of color. Except for special circumstances such as alternating color stripes, choices are restricted to three or fewer distinct colors, one for walls, one for trim and one for the roof. If there are no overriding aesthetic reasons to pick a specific roof color, we suggest picking one of the colors with the highest reflectivity to minimize heat gain in hot climates.

    Metal roofing and sheeting, range from 24 to 29 ga. (depending on customer demand and geographical location), with a tensile strength 80,000 psi. Galvanized or painted panels are available in a choice of colors. Material conforms to ASTM A-653 and A-792, Grade 80.

    Metal Roof Specs

    Insulation can be included to increase heat retention in winter, to reduce heat gain in summer, and to reduce condensation in cold weather. Condensation occurs when there is warm moist air under the roof and cold air outside. If the cold air cools the roof below the dew point of the air under the roof, condensation or sweating occurs. This effect is more pronounced with thin roof systems and we strongly recommend using insulation with metal roofing to reduce condensation problems.

    Insulation
    We strongly recommend the use of insulation underneath metal roofing to reduce condensation. Sweating metal roof panels followed by condensation dripping from the roof is likely to occur at some time in all but very dry climates and where the eave and gable areas are open to the outside. There are several choices for insulation in a barn roof.

  • Rolled fiberglass insulation enclosed in plastic.
    This is the optimum choice for most barns. Rigid sheets of insulation. 4' by 8' or larger sheets of rigid insulating board are laid over the roof structure before the roof panels are placed. This is effective. It increases the roof thickness by the insulating panels and longer screws are required to attach the roof panels. Panels with a white or silver color side down are preferable and tape may be available to cover the seams.
  • An additional benefit of insulation is a reduction in echoes an the general noise level inside the barn.
