Did you see the northern lights last night?
They were stunning here in Minnesota, but Laura Stone was able to see them all the way down in Texas! (pictured)

All she wants for Christmas is a functional indoor space that not only allows us to continue our horsemanship goals all year but also eases the day to day grind… is she getting it? (Christmas, Valentines, and Birthdays are taken care of for the foreseeable future)

A 60’ round working space, stalls for feeding, grooming, and inclement weather, storage space, and a hangout area. All with high ceilings, plenty of access doors and gates, and movable panels. It’s pretty to look at in the morning while drinking our morning coffee too.
⁣
If this would interest you or yours, we can offer the same design as a building kit. On your end, you will need to have the excavation and pad made. We’ll send you the post and beam building kit as well as the interior components that all pin together for quick and simple set up. If you don't have the skills and equipment to put up the barn, a contractor will do it for around $25k~

Solid Bottom Round Pen built of White Oak are not your average round pen.
⁣
The White Oak Round Pen is portable, without being flimsy. You can bump it, push it, back into it and it’s going to stay right where you placed it - without having to put holes in the ground.
⁣
The Solid Bottom design is also the best of both worlds. It’s got enough heft to limit outside distractions but also offers some airflow and light.
⁣
The basic galvanized tube panels cannot say the same.

They tell us board and batten siding is trendy, but we’ve always known it as practical.
⁣
Board and batten siding is a go-to as it is easy to put up, durable, and efficient.
Materials matter though, so only use white oak lumber and coated outdoor screws. Horses won't eat it or kick through it. You can paint or oil it, but you don't need to. A lay person can put up board and batten siding without much of a learning curve.
⁣
Whether you’re putting up a new building, or are upgrading one you already have, board and batten siding is a great option. We can offer white oak board and batten for $4.95/sq foot and we also build dutch doors and barn doors out of white oak.
⁣
Examples:
Board and batten siding for a three sided 12x24 shed with 12’ side walls is $2,851
Board and batten siding for a 36’x48’ barn with 12’ side walls is $9,979

6 Reasons to (Seriously) Consider White Oak Post & Rail Fencing
⁣
White Oak is a naturally bitter, chew free fence that is super strong and doesn't shatter.
⁣
Rough sawn 1x6 fence rails are 8’ in length for ease of handling, transporting, and storing.
⁣
White Oak fence rails are squared on one end and holes pre-drilled.
⁣
4x4x8 White Oak fence posts offer more surface area for attaching rails.
⁣
Square posts stack and store easier than round.
⁣
Posts are topped for water shedding to extend the life of the post, which is already 25 years.
⁣
If you’re interested, but maybe overwhelmed by the how, we’ve put together explanatory videos. You can DIY a fence like a pro and we're happy to share tips and tricks.

What have Blake and Parker been up to?
Working their tails off topping posts, squaring and pre-drilling rails, making pre-drilled face plates, and cutting blocking for 4,000 feet of 4 Rail White Oak fencing. 🥵
It's a lot of work but saves our customer so much time in the field.
