Is a fabric hoop barn a practical, affordable alternative to a traditional horse barn?
A fabric barn, often called a hoop barn, is a steel-framed building covered with a tensioned fabric membrane. Because the frame spans the whole width, the inside is clear-span, with no rows of roof-support posts, so stalls, aisles, hay storage and equipment space can be laid out around the way you keep your horses.
Horse owners use fabric barns as run-in sheds, loafing barns, hay barns and full horse barns with stalls. When you compare buildings, look beyond price: ask about the steel and trusses, rafter spacing, anchoring, the cover fabric and its warranty, ventilation options, and the wind and snow loads the building is engineered for in your area.
