Horses want to be outdoors with their herd, but when the weather turns stormy and wet, you need a weather tight, spacious structure as well. Conowingo Builders, located in Quarryville, southern Lancaster County, PA, builds custom barns with lofty ceilings and excellent airflow. Uniquely, they design a lean-to style porch along the eave, where they install hoof grid and stone dust. This setup allows them to hang a few gates, creating an outdoor space for the horses that’s out of the rain yet open. It keeps them out of the meadow, preventing issues with mud while still giving them the chance to enjoy fresh air.
A one stop shop, Conowingo Builders is a full service custom builder, providing help with initial design and planning, permits, site prep, construction, electrical, and plumbing as well as the details, like hanging hay racks, water buckets, cabinets, etc. Their barns are custom designed and meant to last for the long haul, with a proper foundation and higher quality materials, all built onsite where the homeowner can watch the process.
Their exterior doors use a fairly new product, a powder coated aluminum that looks like stained wood, manufactured by J&E Grill Manufacturing. They offer board and batten metal siding, which is easy to install, nicer than the regular G100 ag panel, and has a 40 year paint warranty. Another unique feature is timber frame accents, to add detail and character to the exterior of the barn.
Conowingo Builders is a small scale, full service, custom construction company, specializing in horse barns, hobby barns, custom garages and timber frames. Lifelong horse owners, they understand the importance of having a functional, well-thought through barn to stable your horses and store your farm implements.
