Multi-purpose Horse Barn Project
Project Phase 1 – Custom Multi-purpose Horse Barn in Littleton, Colorado
This custom multi-purpose horse barn project showcases exactly what happens when you combine premium materials with decades of construction expertise. As the official dealer for FCP Barns and the proud recipient of the Dealer of the Year award for four consecutive years, Coffman Barns understands how to bring your vision to life. Let us take you on a detailed walkthrough of Phase One of this stunning multi-purpose horse barn.
A Custom Multi-purpose Horse Barn Designed for Colorado
Crafting the perfect multi-purpose barn means balancing functionality, animal safety, and structural integrity. Whether housing horses, storing trailers, or holding heavy equipment, a thoughtful layout is crucial. In Littleton, Colorado, smart engineering is vital for durability against heavy snowfall and high-speed winds. We’ve shared photos and the floor plan of this new build, showcasing how thoughtful design can meet both practical and environmental demands.
Phase One: Exceptional Exterior and Structural Features
The foundation of any great equestrian facility lies in its footprint and roofline. For this project, we moved away from the standard inline barn design to create something highly customized for the property owner’s specific needs.
- Unique T-Shaped Floor Plan: A multi-purpose facility needs to accommodate more than just horses, so we incorporated a massive 60′ x 16′ storage garage into the design. This space provides fully enclosed protection for large horse trailers, tractors, and farm equipment. The design also features a 48′ x 12′ porch extension for shade. Opposite the gable entry, a 12′ entrance flows seamlessly into the main 28’ x 36’ gable barn.
- Optimized Interior Layout: Inside the barn, a 12′ breezeway serves as the central artery, providing plenty of room to lead horses safely and maneuver equipment. Along the exterior, we designed porch shelters on both sides. These overhangs act as run-in shelters for horses and provide shaded areas for people working outside. The integrated windows on the breezeway doors allow controlled ventilation without opening the doors.
- Spacious Stalls with Custom Fronts: The stall layout accommodates horses of all sizes, featuring a standard 12′ x 12′ stall and a larger 16′ x 12′ stall for stallions or foaling mares. Both include rear sliding Dutch doors with plexiglass to maximize natural light and ventilation. For safety and style, the stall doors feature FCP Coventry stall fronts with custom TimberTech tongue-and-groove designs, a premium finish also used on the tack room front for a cohesive look.
- Tack Room and Wash Bay: Across from the stalls is a large 16′ x 12′ tack room to keep supplies organized and secure. We applied a custom concrete finish to the floor for a durable, easy-to-clean surface. Next to it, a 12′ x 12′ open wash bay offers a dedicated space for bathing horses. Additionally, an exterior steel man door opens directly into the wash bay, allowing entry without opening the main breezeway doors in colder weather. For easy access, two 6′ sliding doors are installed at the end of the breezeway. We integrated custom windows into these doors to draw natural light into the center aisle and allow controlled ventilation without opening the doors.
Coming Soon: Phase Two Interior Finishes
While the structural skeleton, exterior paneling, and primary layout of this multi-purpose horse barn are now firmly in place, the project is far from over. Phase One successfully established the rugged durability and functional footprint required for the property.
We will share another detailed update when the final interior finishes are completed. The next phase will highlight the final touches that transform this robust FCP-manufactured structure into a fully operational, premium equestrian multi-purpose barn. Stay tuned for photos and details of the completed interior work.
