Based on your area I would not heat. If the roof is steel, I would insulate it to keep condensation to a minimum.

I've always been leary of putting electric inside of stalls. The way some horses chew and rub things it would take a lot to convince me it was safe. We even have one horse that is fond of sitting...

I hope yours goes better - I'm convinced this is mostly town driven... I'll bet other towns are much better to deal with - Salem CT...

I heard there was an outfit up in Windsor Locks (by the airport) putting up pole barns (like Morton, but less expensive I would think). You might want to try them for a quote if this place is to...

This looks like a good article.

I'd go with a minimum of .4 pcf retention for ground contact.

The CR750-3 corner buckets look exactly like what we have. They have worked out well.

LazyJ,

We have a similar arrangement, but we found some rubberized corner mount shallow feed tubs just like the one you rigged up. See attached picture.

We used to have corner mounted plastic...

Hi Steve,

Next time you are down at town hall say hi to Marianne from the folks up in Canterbury. You can tell her things have only got worse up here since she left so she probably made the right...

How about PVC/wire belts. Check out Ramm fence.

Rent a Rought Terrain scissor lift. This is the tool for putting a barn up quick. Great for setting the trusses and getting the roof work done.

Also, I'd use laminated posts instead of solid PT...

Someone also posted a tragic story about a horse kicking thru metal siding and severing an artery. I would guess a cow could do the same.

I get some perfume web site when I try to go to www.tractorbynet.com

One of our horses recently had it. It took about a month to clear up with very aggressive treatment. I have an article I can send you but I don't have a link to it. Send me a PM with a email...

I have no experience with regular wire fence, so I wouldn't disagree with Richard. But I too have heard of plenty of incidents involving high tensile wire and horses. I've stayed away from it for...

We have a stable we close up at night and in the winter. Every spring we have a bunch of sparrows and starlings try to move in. They seem to figure out it's not a good spot to nest as they often...

Anyone use it yet?

Or heard how it performs compared to CCA, especially for ground contact? It seems the retention ratings are the same for CCA and similar use (.4 pcf for ground contact).

I wonder if putting down a few inches of stone dust on top of the concrete and under the mats would be a solution.

It might just make a big mess though without any ground moisture or sufficient...

Wow, that's some unusual construction on you roof, at least from what I've seen up here in New England. What kind of load rating do you guys build to in OK. We have a 40# rating up here.

I brought my pin down to HD and looked in there little rack of 3' long steel tubes. I found a square tube that the pin fit into real snug. Brought it home and cut it in half to use as my wrench. ...

Hi Bird,

Sorry to hear you're missing Buster so much. I tried to find some info on Rat Terriers on AKC but I couldn't find any. I thought I met one once. Are they like Jack Russels but a bit...
