Horse Barns and Rodeo Roping Arenas for Colorado Cowboys
In Colorado the most dedicated cowboys stake out their own roping arenas. Do you or someone in your family aspire to ride the rodeo circuit? We build beautiful backyard horse barns and roping arenas to suit. How about options for indoor arenas versus outdoor arenas? Or both. Post frame construction allows for all spaces to fit under one roof, and it’s our specialty.
Before long, you’ll have your arms around a perfect plan and our team at Sapphire Construction, Inc. will be making it happen for you and any little barrel busters around the house. Our team custom designs each building using high-quality, engineer-tested materials from Lester Buildings.
Getting Design Juices Flowing
So, meet with us to come up with a suitable floor plan and arena dimensions. We’ll let you in on the wide variety of building options, design elements like roof pitch, building style, exterior sheathing materials, and color palate. We will show you electronic sketches and a library of similar projects.
Some Aspects of a Roping Arena
Ask yourself some important questions. Jot down some notes to jumpstart your project.
- Decide on the type and size arena.
2. Will it be enclosed or an outdoor arena?
3. How many steers will you keep?
4. Will you have rough stock?
5. How many horses?
6. Do you want the boxes inside or outside?
7. What gauge metal would you like for rodeo panels?
8. What size panels?
9. How will you place the steer lead up to the chute?
10. Is this horse barn and roping arena for the family or a group?
11. How many people will use the horse complex?
12. Do you want to host events?
Horse Barn Design Ideas
The roof line can complement your other buildings. It can also add a bit of personality if you opt for the gambrel roof or wraparound mansards. We offer the Uni-Rib steel roof, roof shingles, and standing seam roof. You can choose to add an outdoor porch, extra windows, an oversized door for equipment—or keep it simple. Exterior finishes are up to you, too, as we offer top of the line Uni-Rib steel siding as well as stucco, log, fiber board, wainscoting, cedar siding, cedar shakes, and more.
Lighting and ventilation will make the difference in how you enjoy the indoor facilities. Windows, shutters, ridge and eave lights, ridge vents, upper wall vents, insulation, and proper site placement are important. And on you go. Ask about our Signature Dutch doors and horse stalls, tack rooms, wash stalls, pens, and other great ideas.
