Building a small horse barn is a fairly easy task when you have a good set of small horse barn plans.
Assuming that you will be able to figure it out as you go is only setting yourself up for failure.
Most people assume that they will be able to dive in and quickly draw up their own horse shed plans.
This is definitely possible, but the task is harder than you think.
There are a lot of things to consider when housing an animal.
Not to mention the amount of money you will save by using a set of professionally designed plans.
Professional plans come with a materials list.
This is advantageous in two ways.
One, this list ensures that you purchase the exact amount of materials you need the first time you go to the store with no shortages or excess.
Two, you can take this list to hardware shops, home improvement stores, and lumber yards to get a quick price quote.
Most lumber yards will beat other's prices by 10% or more! Having a good set of horse barn blueprints will allow you to go through all the steps needed before actually taking them and will allow you to foresee any unnecessary problems that could potentially arise.
One thing to consider is the type of lumber you should use.
Some types of treated lumbers will make your horses ill when they chew on it.
And you know they will chew on it! Professional plans will take the guess work out and will tell you exactly what type of wood to use.
