Horse Barn Doors

Having the right barn doors is essential for keeping your animals safe. But having the best barn doors for you will make your life easier and your barn cleaner and safer. 

So, don't settle for just any barn doors. Here are some things you should know when you're looking for your next barn door. 

Material

When we think of entryways for horses, we often think of the classic wood look. But wood is far less durable than other materials.

For your entryway, we recommend metal or steel. This will keep your space protected no matter what weather comes or who is trying to get in or out. 

While metal may not be the classic look, the material can be made to imitate traditional wood designs, so you don't need to sacrifice looks for quality. 

Windows

Many prefer to have windows on their coverings. Windows brings in more sunlight, which warms the space, kills bacteria, and improves air quality. It may also discourage flies and generally make it a happier place for your horses to enjoy. 

If you decide to install windows on your barn doors, we recommend tempered glass. This will allow in all the sunlight while keeping everything else outside. Ensure that windows are placed above kicking distance. Six feet or higher is a good rule of thumb. 

Easy Rolling Mechanism

Make your life easy by installing barn doors that have an easy-to-use rolling mechanism. The gates are typically very heavy, especially if you have good quality. But don't let all that weight and quality make your life more difficult. 

Having a smooth, rolling mechanism on strong brackets will make entering and exiting with horses faster and easier. This will also allow for safer handling as rolling them aside completely will make your horse feel safer while providing plenty of space.
