METAL HORSE BARNS FOR SALE IN NEVADA

Regular Style Metal Horse Barn (Horizontal Roof)

The Regular Style horse barn is our most affordable option in Nevada and the design most people picture when they think of a metal horse barn. The roof is built on bent bows with rounded, rolled corners where the roof meets the legs, and the roof panels run horizontally, parallel to the sides, so rain drains off the front and back of the structure. Trusses tie the bows together for strength, and the whole frame is galvanized steel.

In Nevada the Regular Style is popular across Southern Nevada, around Las Vegas, Henderson, North Las Vegas, Boulder City, Pahrump, Mesquite, and Laughlin, and anywhere the budget matters more than looks. It is a good fit for stalls, hay, feed, and tack and for lots where a horse barn is tucked behind the house or barn rather than out front.

Boxed Eave Style Metal Horse Barn (A-Frame, Horizontal Roof)

The Boxed Eave horse barn has the A-frame roofline that matches most Nevada homes and shops, with a squared, boxed corner where the roof meets the legs instead of a rounded one. Like the Regular Style, its roof panels run horizontally, parallel to the sides, so rain drains off the front and back, and it is built on the same galvanized steel frame. The difference is almost entirely in appearance, which is why it is the most common choice when the horse barn will sit next to the house.

Around Las Vegas, Henderson, Reno, Sparks, Carson City, and Elko, the Boxed Eave is the middle option: a traditional look for a little more than the Regular Style, without the full upgrade to a vertical roof. It matches the rooflines of most Nevada homes and shops and is a good choice for a horse barn that sits beside the house.

Vertical Roof Metal Horse Barn (A-Frame, Vertical Roof)

The Vertical Roof horse barn is our top-of-the-line style and the one we recommend for Northern Nevada, the Lake Tahoe side, and the Elko high country, and anywhere a structure sits under trees. It uses the same A-frame, boxed-eave shape, but the roof panels run vertically, from the ridge down to the eaves, so water, leaves, and snow run straight off instead of sitting on the roof. Extra purlins run lengthwise under the panels, which gives the roof more framing to attach to and makes the whole horse barn noticeably stiffer in high wind.

In Northern Nevada and the mountains, around Reno, Carson City, Minden, Incline Village, Elko, Spring Creek, Ely, and Winnemucca, the Vertical Roof is the style we recommend. Snow and ice slide off instead of piling up, rain drains to the eaves, and the extra purlins stiffen the roof for the heaviest Nevada snow loads. It is also the style we recommend for longer horse barns anywhere in the state.

Single Slope Metal Horse Barn

The Single Slope horse barn uses the vertical roof panels and purlins of our top style, but the roof pitches one direction instead of peaking in the middle. A 2/12 pitch is the most common, and several other pitches are available to match an existing roofline or add clearance. That lets it sit flush against a property line, a fence, a camp, or an existing garage or barn, and drain all of its water to one side, away from whatever it is attached to. It can stand on its own or be built as an attached lean-to.

A Single Slope horse barn fits well against an existing garage, barn, or shop wall, and in Nevada it is a practical choice where you want snow and rain to shed away from a walkway, driveway, or the side of the house. Pitches vary by size, so tell us where the water and snow should go and we will set the slope to match.
