127 36x48x12
Horses, hay, and gear move through a barn every day, so the doors and the airflow decide how well a horse barn works. This 36×48 horse barn in the Mid-Atlantic gives you 1,728 square feet under a 12 foot wall, with a ridge vent and a gable vent for airflow and wide split-slider doors for moving through.
It is finished in Ocean Blue siding with Brite White trim and an Ash Gray roof. Searching for a horse barn builder in the Mid-Atlantic? Pioneer Pole Buildings builds post-frame barns across the Mid-Atlantic, and this one includes eight screened windows, a 6-panel entry door, and white vinyl soffit.

Look at how the Ocean Blue split sliders sit on the gable end in Brite White trim, with a gable vent near the peak, while the long wall runs back with its row of white windows. The siding reads lighter along the long wall than on the gable end in this light, and the Ash Gray roof carries the same lines back over the eave. A horse and a foal walk the pasture in front of the barn, which shows the scale of the building. The photo shows the barn finished, with the doors closed.

36x48x12 Horse Barn Specifications
The trusses carry the roof across the full width, so span and spacing come first. On 127 36x48x12, 36 foot standard trusses sit 4 feet on center with a 4/12 pitch, designed for snow load by code. The building measures 36 Feet Wide x 48 Feet Long x 12 Feet High, with 28-gauge Frontier Panel on the roof and walls under a 50-year warranty, and a Double Bubble vapor barrier on the roof. Vinyl soffit sits under 2 foot eaves and 1 foot gables, with 48 feet of ridge vent and a gable vent. Two 10×12 split-slider doors, eight 4×3 insulated windows, and a 3068 entry door complete the openings.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a 36×48 horse barn cost in the Mid-Atlantic?
Pioneer prices each building from its spec sheet, so there is no flat number. On a barn like this one, the door options and the number of windows move the price the most. Use the Free Quote Request to get a price for your site.
Do I need a permit to build a horse barn in the Mid-Atlantic?
Permits are generally required for a horse barn, and the rules vary by state and town, so confirm with your local construction office before you build. Pioneer provides Engineered Sealed Blueprints.
How long does it take to build a post-frame horse barn?
Construction starts once all permits are approved and your scheduled date arrives. From there, the building itself goes up in just a few days, depending on size. The sliding doors follow on their own schedule.
What size sliding door do I need for a 36×48 horse barn?
This build uses two 10’W x 12’H non-insulated split-slider doors. Door width follows what needs to move through the opening, and door height follows the tallest thing that has to pass, so wall height and door height are chosen together.
Pricing & Financing Options
A price printed on this page would only fit one lot, one set of local codes, and one set of options, so Pioneer quotes each building from its own spec sheet instead. The 36×48 footprint and 12 foot wall are the starting point, and the ridge vent length and the vinyl soffit are adjusted from there. Request a quote and the number comes back for your layout.
Financing is available through Hearth. Learn more about our Financing Options, or call 1-888-448-2505 or Request Your Free Quote to get started.
