Horse Barns & Riding Arenas
Horse Barns & Riding Arenas built by Greg
A good horse barn keeps animals dry, healthy and easy to care for, and a covered arena means you can ride through the winter instead of waiting for a dry week. Around here that takes more than four walls and a roof. A barn needs airflow so ammonia and damp air don't build up, stall floors that drain, and a site that doesn't turn to mud at every door. An arena needs a wide clear span, a roof that sheds heavy rain and room for footing that stays usable all season.
Greg Myers builds barns and post-frame buildings across Western Washington. His photos include timber pole barns with lean-to bays finished in stained board siding, and a wide-open barn interior where the trusses stay exposed above a poured slab floor. For a horse property, Greg plans the barn around your routine: how many stalls, aisle width, tack and feed rooms, hay storage and where the trailer pulls in. He takes care of the permit, grading, posts and trusses, roofing, siding, doors and the stall framing, so the whole build stays with one contractor.

Questions
Horse Barns & Riding Arenas FAQs
How do you keep a horse barn dry in a Western Washington winter?
It starts with the site. We build the pad up above the surrounding ground and slope it so runoff heads away, add wide overhangs at the doors, and plan gutters and drainage so roof water doesn't end up in the paddock. Inside, steady airflow through the ridge and eaves pulls damp air out, which matters for the horses' breathing as much as for the wood.
What goes into the price of a horse barn or arena?
It depends on the number of stalls, the footprint, wall height, doors, interior rooms and how much work the ground needs. For a covered arena, the span and sidewall height drive a large share of the price. Greg gives a free estimate once he has seen the site and your wish list, so you know the real number before you commit.
Can you build a covered riding arena?
Yes. A covered arena is a large post-frame building with a clear span, so there are no posts in the riding area. You can leave the sides open, close them in, or use partial walls that block wind and rain while letting light in.
Can you add stalls to a barn I already have?
Often, yes. If the building is sound and has the height and floor space, Greg can frame stalls, tack rooms and a loft inside it. If the existing barn has rotted posts or roof problems, he will point them out during the estimate and fix those first.
Do you build hay barns and run-in sheds too?
Yes. A hay barn or a pasture run-in shed uses the same post-frame method at a smaller scale. A lot of horse properties pair a run-in shed in the field with a main barn near the house, and Greg can build both.
