In preparation for summer, it’s worth remembering what makes American Barns such a great choice: everything can be under one roof and most of us would agree that this is the best thing about American Barns. Tackle rooms, wash area, feeding, and saddling up can all be done in your American barn. What does this mean in the summer months? You get to stay out of the sun for the most part and don’t have to waste energy running about with everything in one central location.
Another great thing about American Barns in the summertime is that you can design them to provide great airflow, allowing you to enjoy a nice summer breeze on hot days. At Jon William Stables, we always recommend installing a top rear door and louvre combination on internal American barn stabling. This allows you the option of fully open windows where your horse can stick their head out while still allowing airflow when the door is closed.
Even though you are inside a barn, there are features that can be included that will make you feel as if you are out in the open. Build your American barns with double doors on each end of the barn. When they are both open in the summertime, you get the added bonus of feeling like you are still outside, yet happy and cool in the shade with a nice breeze pulling through the barn!
You can also design your American barn with a polycarbonate roof to let all the natural sunlight in, without taking the full force of the summer sun.
There are many reasons why American barns are great for summertime. Not to mention they are great for your horse’s health – being under one roof helps with their herd mentality, rather than being separated when stabled, making them a great addition to your property!
