Why Standard Run-In's
Fail for Horses

A 1,200-pound horse kicking a weak wall isn't just property damage—it's a veterinary emergency. Standard garden sheds and utility structures weren't engineered for the impact forces, chewing behavior, and environmental demands livestock creates.

Our horse run-in sheds are purpose-built for equine use with oak kickboards, reinforced framing, and impact-resistant construction.

Wunderbar Structures engineers livestock-grade shelters using Amish construction methods proven over generations. Our horse barns and run-ins protect your investment while ensuring the safety and well-being of your horses, cattle, goats, and other pasture animals.

We don't build temporary fixes. We build infrastructure that lasts.

Choose the Right Size for Your Herd
Run-In Shed Sizing Guide

General rule: 60-80 square feet per horse for comfortable shelter

Single (1-2 horses)

Recommended: 10×12 or larger for one horse. 10×16 comfortable for two horses or one horse with foal. Provides adequate space for movement and lying down.

10×10

10×12

10×16

Medium (2-3 horses)

Recommended: 10×18 minimum for two horses. 10×20 or 12×20 for three horses. Allows all horses to shelter simultaneously without aggressive crowding.

10×18

10×20

12×20

10×24

Large (4-8 horses)

Recommended: 10×36 or 12×36 for larger herds. For 8+ horses, consider two separate run-in sheds to prevent dominant horses from blocking access to shelter.

12×24

10×30

12×30

12×36+

💡 Pro Sizing Tip

Herd dynamics matter. If you have a dominant horse that guards resources, size up or install two separate run-in sheds. All horses should be able to access shelter without fear of being kicked out by more dominant herd members.

Engineered for Equine Impact Forces

Your horses deserve shelter built to withstand the forces they naturally create.

Kick Force Protection

A horse's kick generates up to 2,000 PSI of impact force. Our solid oak kickboards protect structural walls from hoof strikes that would shatter standard siding.

Rubbing & Scratching

Horses lean, rub, and scratch against walls with 800+ lbs of lateral force. White pine framing with robust corner bracing prevents wall flex and structural damage.

Chewing Behavior

Horses chew when bored or mineral-deficient. White pine resists splintering better than soft woods, and optional metal chew guards protect vulnerable edges and corners.

Wind Load Resistance

Open-front design reduces wind pressure on the structure. Properly anchored skids and robust roof framing keep your shelter secure in 60+ mph winds.

Standard garden sheds use 1/2" or 5/8" siding that splinters under hoof impact.
Our run-in sheds use solid oak kickboards + reinforced white pine framing specifically engineered for livestock use.

Nobody understands the needs of a powerful horse better than our Amish craftsmen. We build our shelters with the grit and durability required for equine life, ensuring your 1,200-pound athlete is safe, secure, and protected.

How It Works

Payment Calculation

Your monthly payments are calculated by adding the total building cost, sales tax, and site prep (if applicable), then dividing by your chosen payment term. Simple, transparent, and predictable.

Example:
$36,000 barn + $2,160 tax = $38,160
÷ 24 months = $1,590/month

Term Options

Choose the repayment term that best suits your financial situation:

✓12 Months: Higher monthly payments, own your barn faster

✓24 Months: Lower monthly payments, extended flexibility

Down Payment

Your down payment equals your first monthly payment. Want to put more down initially?
Absolutely! A larger down payment will either:
→Lower your monthly payments, or
→Shorten your term length

Your choice, your control.

Monthly Payments

Remaining payments are due by the end of each month. A consistent, predictable schedule helps you manage your finances effectively. Set up automatic payments or pay manually, whatever works for you.
