063 36x40x12 equestrian barn
Boarding barn buyers face a decision two-stall backyard barn owners never have to make: how horses move through the building when six stalls are full, and everyone needs turnout at once. This owner put a 10×10 split-slider door at each end instead of one on a single wall, so horses and equipment can move in both directions without funneling through one aisle. 063 36x40x12 was built around six stalls that all need daily turnout, not a barn where two horses share one door and take turns.

Look at how Slate and Ash Gray sit next to each other at a 4/12 pitch. Both are cool, mid-value colors, so the roofline and walls read as one continuous mass instead of two competing surfaces. Brite White trim is the only contrast here, worth studying if you’re weighing a monochrome scheme against a high-contrast one for your own horse boarding barn build.
Count the openings across the front elevation before you count stalls. Six matching Pine Dutch doors with crossbucks run in a row, evenly spaced, with a 10×10 split-slider anchoring each end instead of breaking up the middle. That symmetry is what makes an Ash Gray horse barn photograph well from a straight-on angle, but it also tells shoppers something useful: this equestrian barn was laid out so every stall gets equal wall space, not a bigger stall favored near the entrance.

Building Specifications
Six stalls under one roof means a wider clear span than a two or three-stall barn, and that’s where the truss engineering earns its keep. 063 36x40x12 uses 36-foot standard trusses at 4-foot on-center spacing, sized to code for regional snow load at a 4/12 pitch, wide enough to clear-span the full 36 feet without interior support columns breaking up the stall row. The roof is Slate 28-gauge Frontier Panel with a 50-year warranty, a color choice that also hides dust and hay chaff better than a lighter panel over years of daily barn use.
Siding is Ash Gray 28-gauge Frontier Panel with the same 50-year warranty, and access is split by function across three door types. Two 10×10 split-sliders handle equipment and hay at opposite ends, while six 4×7 Pine Dutch doors with crossbucks give every 12×12 stall its own turnout access in natural wood against the gray panel. Overhangs run 1 foot on every eave and gable under white vinyl soffit, a uniform depth that keeps water off six door thresholds instead of concentrating runoff over just one or two openings.

Frequently Asked Questions
How big is a six stall horse barn?
A 36×40 equestrian barn gives you 1,440 square feet under roof. Project 063 splits that into six 12×12 stalls, an aisle, and two 10×10 split-slider doors at opposite ends.
How much does an equestrian barn cost?
Equestrian barn cost depends too much on scope to publish a number. On 063 36x40x12, the six Dutch doors, two split-slider doors, and a 50-year Frontier Panel warranty each move the quote independently.
Why two split-slider doors instead of one?
Two 10×10 split-sliders at opposite ends let hay, equipment, and horses move through the barn in either direction. 063 36x40x12 uses this layout, so six stalls never funnel through a single aisle door.
Does Pioneer build horse barns in my area?
Yes. Pioneer has built more than 30,000 post-frame buildings across the Mid-Atlantic since 1998, and our Mid-Atlantic equestrian builders serve PA, NJ, DE, MD, WV, VA, and NY.
Pricing & Financing Options
A six-stall equestrian barn’s price around its opening count more than its footprint. 063 36x40x12 carries six 4×7 Pine Dutch doors with crossbucks and two 10×10 split-slider doors, eight separate openings against a single wall of siding on a smaller barn. Each Dutch door is framed, hinged, and hung independently, and crossbucks add trim work that a flat door doesn’t need. The 50-year Frontier Panel warranty on both roof and siding is a separate line as well, priced across 1,440 square feet of coverage rather than folded into a flat per-stall number.
The decision a horse owner needs to make before requesting a quote is how many stalls actually need independent Dutch door access versus a shared aisle gate. Every Dutch door adds hinge hardware and crossbuck trim that a plain stall front doesn’t. Our Mid-Atlantic equestrian builders can price the difference once you know whether all six stalls need their own outside door or if some can share turnout access.
We also offer flexible Financing Options so you can get started without compromising on design or quality.

Final Thought
The takeaway from 063 36x40x12 isn’t the stall count; it’s the roof color. Most equestrian barn buyers pick roof color off a sample chip on a sunny showroom day, but Slate was chosen here because six stalls generate more hay chaff and dust on a roof overhang than a two-horse setup ever will. A lighter panel shows every bit of that buildup; Slate doesn’t telegraph it the same way between wash-downs.
That decision changes what Pioneer engineers bring to the maintenance conversation, not just the framing. Six stalls mean six Dutch doors getting opened and swept past daily, which puts more dust in the air right at roof height than a barn with one or two stalls. Choosing a mid-tone panel over a bright white roof is a decision about how the building looks between cleanings, not just on the day the photos get taken.
Pioneer has built more than 30,000 post-frame buildings across the Mid-Atlantic since 1998, and boarding barns are where color choice matters most for exactly this reason: more horses moving through more doors every day. Our Mid-Atlantic equestrian builders steer boarding barn owners toward mid-tone panels for this reason, whether the owner asks about maintenance or just likes the sample chip.
