Building your dream barn gives you the chance to express your own individual style. There are many design features you can use to add a bit of character to your barn. Here are just a few ideas.

Cupola and Weathervane

The cupola and weathervane that you select for your barn go far in adding character and style. If you’re building a larger barn, you may decide to include two or more cupolas. Cupolas serve not only as attention points on your barn, but can add ventilation, contributing to your horse’s health.

When you select your cupola, you’ll have many styles to choose from. It’s best to choose your cupola as your build your barn, so that its style is in keeping with your barn’s character. Weathervanes are the perfect way to top off the cupola and add your own individualistic taste.

Window Style and Shutters

The style of the windows you include in your barn can add a distinctive touch to the overall atmosphere. From grilled windows to large windows with artistic touches, windows help to shape your barn.

Shutters are a beautiful way to frame your barn windows, because they can be functional as well as aesthetic. Additionally, Classic Equine Equipment offers a wonderful selection of hinged barn windows which offer both visual appeal and functional practicality.

Stall Wood Selection

The wood you choose as fill for your stalls can completely transform the atmosphere and character of your barn. At Classic Equine Equipment, your wood fill choices give you total control over what the end product of your stalls will look like. Classic Equine Equipment offers quality woods such as Southern Yellow Pine, Brazilian hardwood, Oak and Ash. Additionally, High Density Polyethylene lumber crafted from recycled postconsumer plastic comes in eight different shades.

In addition to your choice of wood fill, you can alter the orientation of the wood for a completely different look. Vertical and horizontal orientations are possible, and don’t forget about venting, a stylish and beautiful feature which can maximize airflow while maintaining the stylish wooden appearance.

Lighting

The use of lighting in your barn can completely enhance its mood and character. Consider installing skylights and large windows to maximize natural light and to make the space feel larger. Classic Equine Equipment also offers a variety of stylish light fixtures which can add beautiful accents to your barn.
