Whether you're building a new barn or improving an existing one, Horse Housing is the perfect guide. From finding the best building site to choosing stall latches, this book is brimming with how–to tips for every part of the process. It explains in detail which materials are good to use around horses, and how good lighting, flooring, and ventilation make a big difference to both horses and people. And it goes beyond theory—offering information, like how to estimate concrete and shingle a new roof or replace an old one. The book contains 17 plans, an extensive directory for locating services needed for barn construction, and a glossary of more than 300 terms to help demystify the building process.
