Horse, handler and cattle feel welcome in this 34’ x 53’ Morton building. The owner needed to replace an 80 year old barn on his property and chose Morton to construct this six stall barn which also houses three tack rooms, with one being used as a control room for cattle scales, and a hay loft.  Dutch doors were used as the interior entry doors to the tack room so the owner could set her saddle down upon entering the barn. The exterior’s distinct look comes from cold water timber (grizzly wood) siding, Diamond “M” doors and batten board cedar siding on the gables. This gambrel style building features a 12’ porch which covers the owner’s scales and protects them from snowfall.  The building also utilizes Thermax® insulation and Hi-Rib™ steel roofing.

This 40’x48’ horse barn is a prime example of how Morton Buildings can tailor a building to fit into the natural landscape. The barn is nestled into the Bighorn Mountains on a historic ranch. The owner wanted a rustic appearance on the outside while creating an interior fit for a modern horseman. Two porches and cedar shake siding give the building the look the owner wanted while (4) Dutch doors and (2) Diamond “M” double sliding doors provide practical beauty. Stone excavated during site preparation was used as wainscot on the building, giving it a truly customized appearance. Four horse stalls, a spacious tackroom with kitchenette, full bathroom and a wash stall with a commercial stainless steel sink give the owner the functional space he desired.

 When planning for this horse barn, the owners also wanted a building that could function as a workshop, office and storage building. Morton Buildings was able to construct a facility that not only provides powder coated stalls, a tack area and wash stalls, but also features a full loft and areas for the owners to work and play. Thermax® insulation keeps the interior comfortable while tongue and groove walls offer an attractive interior appearance. Outside, Hi-Rib™ steel roofing and siding provide a virtually maintenance-free exterior while 2’6” cupolas, brick wainscot, a 12’ porch and stone accents complete the look of the building. Morton’s first Diamond “M” swinging door is also featured on this building. The owners are enjoying their new building and would recommend the experience to others, “From helping me design my barn through the construction and finally to the end with completion, Morton Buildings was phenomenal.”
