Description
Built for strength, space, and livestock comfort, this 42x25x14/9 agricultural barn is a durable and functional structure designed for a farm operation in Pottsboro, TX (75076), serving an owner with donkeys and horses who needed a reliable, open, and practical shelter solution.
This barn is engineered and certified for 150 MPH wind resistance and a 20 PSF snow load, giving it the structural integrity needed to handle harsh Texas weather while protecting animals, feed, and equipment year-round. The design features a raised center section, giving added interior clearance and improved airflow—ideal for livestock comfort and equipment or hay storage.
A key feature of the design is the upgraded 26-gauge vertical metal siding and roof system. Both the roof and wall panels are installed in a vertical orientation, improving water runoff, reducing maintenance, and increasing overall durability compared to traditional panel layouts. The heavier 26-gauge steel upgrade adds extra rigidity and longevity, making the structure more resistant to denting, wind uplift, and daily farm wear.
Access and usability are centered around a 10×8 double sliding barn door, providing wide, convenient entry for animals, trailers, or farm equipment. The structure is also finished with 8 faux windows, adding a traditional barn aesthetic while maintaining low maintenance durability.
Structurally, the barn is reinforced with a leg every 5 feet running down four support lines—one along the left side, one along the right side, and two interior center runs—ensuring even load distribution and exceptional stability. To enhance open usable space, select sections on the front right and front left (a 10×8 framed area on each side) are engineered with framed-out interior supports, eliminating obstructing legs and removing the baserail in those zones for improved movement and flexibility.
With its raised center design, heavy-gauge vertical metal system, and livestock-focused layout, this barn provides a strong, open, and practical solution for horses, donkeys, and general farm use—built to perform, built to last, and built for real agricultural demands.
