When building your barn, it can be tempting to splurge in your purchases. We’d all love a luxurious barn filled with energy-saving efficient designs and accessories, but that’s not always an affordable option. When deciding where to splurge on your barn versus where to save your money, think about which investments will pay off in the long run. Let’s take a look at a few splurges that can pay off later.

StableComfort System

The StableComfort System can pay off big-time in terms of the ease of cleaning stalls and a reduced bedding bill. This stall mattress system provides a rubber crumb-filled mattress base, which is covered by a ¼” thick rubber impregnated top cover. This revolutionary system provides excellent cushion to your horses, meaning that you only have to use bedding as absorption. With less bedding use, you slash your bedding bill and reduce your stall cleaning time as well.

Ultimate Tack System

Space is valuable in any barn, and no matter how large you build your tack room, it always seems to get crowded and unorganized. The Ultimate Tack System is an innovative way to keep your tack organized while conserving space. This system can pay off by allowing you to store more equipment in your tack room, rather than having to initially build a larger tack room or invest in additional storage space.

Quality Horse Stalls

When you build your barn, you want it to last. There’s no area in your barn that takes as much wear and tear as your horse stalls do, so this is one area where you should absolutely splurge for top quality. Investing in stalls made from quality materials, such as those from Classic Equine Equipment, means greater durability and a longer lifespan. Stalls are a major investment; by buying quality stalls, you prolong their life and avoid having to replace them unnecessarily.

Rubber Aisle Pavers

Both you and your horses spend a lot of time traveling over and standing in your barn aisle, so it’s important to make the footing of the aisle as safe as possible. Investing in rubber aisle pavers for the aisle’s surface provides traction, cushion, and excellent durability, keeping your barn aisle looking great. Additionally, rubber aisle pavers can be perfect for other areas of your barn, including in your wash stall. When it comes to footing, never cut corners – your horse’s safety depends on it.

Splurging a little bit in key areas of your barn can pay off in the long run. Which areas do you plan to splurge on as you build your dream barn?
