Barn Reccommendations

I built a 30'x40' Mueller metal building for a shop last year. Not a horse barn. However,in looking around, I looked at several manufacturers. In particular, I looked at Morton Buildings and actually went to see a completed building they had put up. Construction looked very good. Again, it was a shop type building, but their brochures also showed pictures of horse barns. Morton does all their own construction. I think they have multiple locations, but for sure, they have one just north of McKinney on 75.

Barn Reccommendations

Like Steve, I also erected mine from a pre-fab kit. In the case of the Mueller, the frame is all steel I beams which simply bolt together. The only cutting and fitting I had to do was the end wall panels (to cut the slope) and some of the trim pieces. I figure I saved about 50% off a builder's price. I don't know if they offer a barn plan or not. It does take quite a few days of effort plus some good friends to put up the heavy and awkward pieces. It wasn't particularly hard, but it took longer than I expected. But then I did most of the work by myself. Also, mine is fully insulated and I plumbed in and built a bathroom with shower. I am very happy with mine plus there is a sense of satisfaction in having done it myself.

Barn Reccommendations

I too got the impression that Morton does a premium job but at a premium price. I am not familiar with AmeriStall, but if they are a reputable builder with nothing to hide, they should give you a firm price quote and references that you can check out.
