Frequently Asked Questions
Here you will find answers to the questions we hear most often from barn buyers. If you need more details about your specific project, feel free to contact us anytime.
Is Noble Barn Co. a family-owned business?
Yes. Our company was built on family values, strong craftsmanship, and trust. From the beginning, our team has been committed to building barns the right way and taking care of our customers with honesty and respect.
Do you offer financing?
Do prefab or modular barns require a foundation?
It depends on the barn style.
- Shed row barns and run in sheds.
These barns are built on pressure-treated base rails and are designed to sit directly on a level surface. While a foundation is not required, a compacted gravel pad is strongly recommended for drainage and stability. - Modular barns
Modular center aisle barns and larger designs require concrete piers or a full concrete pad. This ensures the structure is properly supported and leveled for long-term performance.
If you are unsure what your barn needs, we can help you determine the best foundation for your property.
Why do many horse owners prefer wood barns over metal barns?
Wood barns are preferred for several reasons:
- Safer for horses
- More impact-resistant
- Less likely to dent or puncture from kicks
- Better insulation and temperature control
- Warmer, more traditional appearance
A wooden barn provides both safety and comfort, which is why many equine professionals consider it the best choice.
Do the stalls in your barns come with flooring?
Stalls do not include built-in floors. This is intentional because horses do best on a base that drains well and provides natural comfort.
The tack room comes standard with a plywood floor, and pressure-treated floor upgrades are available.
Most barn owners prepare stall floors using:
- A level gravel pad
- Stone dust, sand, or clay
- Rubber stall mats are placed on top
This combination offers excellent drainage and a comfortable surface for horses.
What is the recommended stall base material?
For best results, we recommend preparing a compacted gravel pad before delivery. After the barn is set in place, many owners install:
- A few inches of stone dust, screenings, or sand
- Heavy-duty rubber mats
This creates a dry, safe, and low-maintenance flooring system.
Can I take my barn with me if I move?
Yes. Portable barn styles such as:
- Shed row barns
- Run in sheds
can be moved at any time. Many customers relocate their barns when moving to a new property or when adjusting pasture layouts.
If you need help moving a barn later, professional barn moving services are available in most regions. Contact us for guidance.
How are barns anchored once delivered?
Anchors are not required unless local codes specify them. If you want your barn anchored or if your county requires it, we can secure the barn using mobile home anchors attached to the tow hooks.
Anchoring is an optional upgrade and can be added during delivery.
