METAL HORSE BARNS FOR SALE IN SOUTH CAROLINA

Regular Style Metal Horse Barn (Horizontal Roof)

The Regular Style horse barn is our most affordable option in South Carolina 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 South Carolina the Regular Style works well across the Upstate, around Greenville, Spartanburg, Anderson, and Rock Hill, and anywhere the budget matters more than looks. It is a good fit for stalls, hay and feed storage, tack rooms, and run-in shelter. It can be built in every width we offer, with the same leg-height, side-panel, and color options as the other two styles, and it is the quickest horse barn to install.

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

The Boxed Eave horse barn has the A-frame roofline that matches most South Carolina 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 Columbia, Lexington, Aiken, and Sumter, the Boxed Eave is the middle option: a traditional look for a little more than the Regular Style, without the full cost of a vertical roof. If you later decide you want the vertical roof, the Boxed Eave frame is the same one it is built on, so the upgrade is just the roof panels and purlins. It is a strong choice for stalls, hay and feed storage, tack rooms, and run-in shelter.

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 the Lowcountry, the Pee Dee, and anywhere storms hit hardest. 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 pine straw 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 the Lowcountry around Charleston and Summerville, along the Grand Strand around Myrtle Beach and Conway, and across the Pee Dee around Florence, the Vertical Roof is the right call: South Carolina sees heavy summer storms and a hurricane season every year, and this roof handles both. It is also the style we recommend for any horse barn longer than about 36 ft., because the longer the roof, the more a horizontal panel has to carry. Pair it with the 12-gauge frame and 26-gauge panel upgrades for high-wind counties and it is the longest-lasting horse barn we sell, built for stalls, hay and feed storage, tack rooms, and run-in shelter.

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.

In South Carolina we see Single Slope horse barns on tight lots in Columbia and Greenville, at hunting camps and lake lots, and as side-by-side additions to existing buildings on farms and shops across the state. It keeps the strength and drainage of the vertical roof for stalls, hay and feed storage, tack rooms, and run-in shelter, and because one side is taller than the other, it is a smart way to get extra clearance on one side without raising the whole structure.
