Page 12 August 2022 EAST COAST EQUESTRIAN Mid-Atlantic Building Solutions sells and installs engi- neered white poly (Triply) ceiling systems, high performance board insulation and blown-in insula- tion, offering quality products and installation at fair prices. Their ceiling and insulation systems have been installed in countless agricultural, residential, and com- mercial/industrial buildings over the last 25+ years. “If you are familiar with the large hoop buildings with the see-thru white fabric roof systems – the triply product is very similar except it has an extra coating on the one side to prevent the see-thru and provide a soft-white reflective solution for interior applications. Extra reinforcements are incorporated to support insulation, since we often blow insulation on top of this ceiling system. With a small amount of insulation, this system noticeably enhances the noise Give Your Barn a Cost-Effective, Energy-Efficient Ceiling factor – giving your space a warmer, much brighter and qui- eter feel that animals love,” said owner Gerald Sensenig. “This is probably the most cost-effective ceiling and insulation value on the market. And we do very little maintenance work, as these ceil- ings have been proven to be very reliable and will be as durable as the building itself.” Mid-Atlantic Building Solutions has been in business since 2002, serving customers throughout Pennsylvania and sur- rounding states. “We are profes- sionals in ceiling and insulation sales and installations. We love to transform buildings with our soft- white ceiling systems, and make them energy-efficient,” Sensenig said. The company is a member of the Better Business Bureau.

B&D Builders knows a solid, well- built structure and a little planning go a long way in achieving both, especially in winter. 1. Wintry runoff can make grounds muddy and unsafe. B&D Builders strategically maps out where to place your barn and paddock areas and footpaths. Smart placement of your barn and good use of footing protects your grounds against erosion. Order plenty of footing for these high-traffic areas in the fall. Pric- es tend to rise as winter nears. 2. Rust isn’t good for anyone. We all know horses eat dirt sometimes, so the last thing you want is rust falling from your hardware. Check hinges, latches, and other metal connections, and replace them if needed. B&D brands Vintage Millwork & Res- toration and Mid-Atlantic Steel Fabrication craft everything from custom stall hardware to spiral staircases, all built to last. 3. Unfortunately, winter means fewer hours of sunlight. Stumbling around in the dark can be dangerous for both you and your horses, so be sure to build with artificial light in mind. In ad- dition to overhead lighting, B&D Builders often includes charging areas for flashlights so you never get caught in the dark. 4. Warm, dry soft goods are a must in wintertime. Keep them handy by building a custom storage area! Pick a dry, accessi- ble place in the barn to store an extra pair of gloves and a jacket, proper footwear, your horse’s blankets, and any other items to keep you both comfortable when the temperature drops. Your barn should be a solid four-season structure that pro- vides comfort and functionality for years. B&D Builders builds your custom barn with the rider and horse, practicing disciplines, and climate in mind to ensure it’s perfectly suited for your needs, no matter the time of year.
