FIND A DEALER (717) 656-4891 Bird-in-Hand, PA The outermost layer of a horse barn serves a dual purpose—shielding the structure from the elements and giving it its visual appeal. Choosing the right sid- ing material is a decision that impacts both the barn’s durability and its charm. Consider board and batten. Many barns aim for a warm, rustic, and traditional look, and nothing delivers that authenticity quite like wood. It’s the traditional building material for good reason. While some metal and vinyl siding products try to imitate wood, the result often falls short—much like wearing knockoff designer shoes. At a glance, they may seem similar, but closer inspection reveals the difference. True board and batten offers the real thing, with texture, depth, and a timeless aesthetic that imitation simply can’t match. While board and batten does require more main- tenance than metal siding, and certainly looks pricier, it’s typically less expensive to install on a horse barn and safer for horses grazing nearby. Damaged metal can leave sharp edges that pose a risk to curious or playful horses, while wood won’t create those haz- ards. Advances in paints and stains have also greatly reduced upkeep, making wood siding more practical than ever. Eby Road Structures has been manufac- turing high-quality board and batten horse barns for years.
