Loafing Sheds
These enclosures have one or more stalls
side by side, most often with wall sheeting
on three sides, and can be used as a stand-
alone loafing shed in a pasture area, or
can be an enclosure with corrals attached
to it for runs. There are many options such
as partial or full wall sheeting, feeders,
feed doors, tack and hay rooms, and color
sheeting. The roof is single slope, and
usually 12' deep, though depths from 8' to
24' can be custom made.
They are available in a variety of colors. Installation
is available in our regular service area, but many of
our customers install the buildings themselves. If
you may be interested in a porch in front of the
stalls, see our page on shedrow barns as well.
We can provide engineering for the California
Building Code with little or no changes to standard
steel designs, and can accommodate most custom
requests with engineering as well. Grading, concrete,
site, etc are important parts of the permit process, so
please feel free to contact us for more information,
and we also recommend contacting your local
building department. We are a licensed City of Los
Angeles fabricator, which satisfies many building
departments' welding requirements. We build
regularly in 20 and 30 lb/psf roof snow load areas, but
can also engineer for 40 lb/psf if your location
requires a heavier load.
These structures use a zee purlin roof system, and
sleeved purlin and concrete anchor connections that
provide the strength needed to resist wind loads. It
also allows for relocation.
The gables (triangular openings on the sides) can be
open or closed, and the sheeting can be galvanized or
your choice of standard colors. You can choose a
different color for the walls, roof, and trim. The
underside of color sheeting is always white and the
framing is galvanized (or galvalume). We use quality
steel sheeting and the wall frames are 1 7/8"
diameter pipe.
Site preparation (grading) is very important to the
safety and function of the end-product, so please feel
free to give us a call to discuss your job site.
