Wood is a classic choice for horse loafing sheds, combining durability, aesthetics, and a natural insulation property that makes it ideal for all weather conditions. At J&N Structures, we offer a variety of wood loafing shed styles, each designed with meticulous attention to detail and a commitment to quality. We’re proud to present these three exceptional designs from our project gallery:

Loafing Sheds with Tack Rooms
Some of our designs take horse loafing sheds a step further by incorporating tack rooms. A horse loafing shed with tack room adds an extra layer of functionality and convenience. The tack room ensures your horse equipment is stored securely and in an organized manner, while the wash stall is a convenient space for grooming your horses. Let’s take a look at some of these unique designs:
