Castle Rock horse barn construction is moving along quickly as this custom post-frame building transitions from framing into exterior and interior finishing stages. Over the past few weeks, we’ve made major progress on roofing, siding, and interior layout.
Castle Rock Horse Barn Construction: Framing Progress
The project began with setting columns and framing the core structure, including:
Setting 28 structural columns
Installing trusses and roof purlins
Framing endwalls, sidewalls, and porch areas
Building headers, stall openings, and transitions
Early framing stages of a horse barn in Douglas County, CO.
As framing progressed, the crew focused on ensuring the building was straight, properly braced, and ready for sheathing and roofing.
Roof Installation & Weather Protection
Once framing was complete, we moved into roofing and weatherproofing:
Installed roof sheeting, screws, and snow retention systems
Installed battens, ridge closures, and ridge trim
Completed soffit and fascia trim
Wrapped the building with house wrap and sealed all openings
This phase is critical to protect the structure from the elements and prepare for exterior finishes.
Doors, Openings & Exterior Prep
With the building dried in, we installed key structural and functional elements:
Man doors installed and flashed
Dutch doors installed with full hardware
Openings framed and trimmed for large access doors
Drip edge and transition details completed
At this stage, the building starts to become more functional and easier to visualize in its final use.
Castle Rock Barn: Exterior Siding Installation
One of the biggest visual milestones on this project was installing the exterior siding.
We completed vertical T1-11 siding on the main structure, including:
Full siding install on the north wall
Endwall layout and sheeting
Transition backing for trim and finish details
This stage transforms the structure from a framed building into something that closely resembles the finished product.
Interior Progress: Tack Room Framing
With weather moving in, we shifted focus to interior work to keep the project moving forward.
Interior work included:
Framing tack room walls and ceiling
Sapphire Crew framing up tack room
Preparing walls for metal and tongue-and-groove finishes
Installing structural hardware and completing detail framing
One advantage of post-frame construction is the ability to continue progress inside the building even when exterior work is temporarily limited. This Castle Rock horse barn construction project highlights how a well-planned post-frame build comes together efficiently, even with changing weather conditions.
