TIMBER AMERICAN BARNS
American barn stables, designed for the way you work
Internal stabling under one roof, with a central aisle for safe, sheltered day-to-day handling. Bespoke timber American barns from a Devon-based team, working across the West Country, the UK and the Channel Islands.
Everything under one roof
An American barn brings your stables, tack room, feed store and wash area together in one building, so mucking out, feeding and tacking up all happen in the dry. It’s a layout that suits busy yards, wet winters and anyone who wants their horses close at hand.
Every barn we design starts with a blank sheet: how many stables, how wide the aisle, where the doors go and how the building sits on your site.
Planning your American barn
We’ll talk through the details that make a barn work well for years to come:
- Number and size of stables
- Central aisle width and end doors for easy access
- Tack room, feed room and hay storage inside the barn
- Wash bay, horse shower and solarium
- Light and ventilation
- Solar panels, rainwater harvesting and CCTV
Timber American barns, built to last
Timber is our speciality, backed by four decades of experience. A timber-framed American barn is warm, natural and sits comfortably in the landscape, and it’s built to handle the wear of a working yard.
Where steel suits the job better, we can supply steel-framed barns too. See more about our timber framed buildings.
Solar-ready from the start
An American barn has a large roof, which makes it a natural home for solar panels. We design the building around solar and rainwater harvesting from the outset, rather than bolting them on as an afterthought.
Design, planning and build in one place
Use us for the whole project, or just the stages you need. We offer an independent, unbiased design consultation, design and drawings, planning applications and structural calculations, right through to building and fitting out. We can also design in solar panels and rainwater harvesting from the start, so your building is future-proofed rather than retro-fitted.
