Building a new equestrian facility is a thrilling milestone, but it also comes with big decisions. For Pacific Northwest horse owners, the first major crossroads is whether to choose a fully custom-built stable or a building kit. Both options have their merits, but the right choice ultimately depends on your budget, your timeframe, and how much hands-on involvement you want in the construction process.
Custom Horse Arena or Horse Barn Kits?
At PACWest Arenas, we believe in complete honesty and integrity, which means helping you find the exact path that fits your unique equestrian goals. Below, we break down both options so you can choose with confidence.
The Custom-Built Stable
If you want a seamless, stress-free experience that results in a premium, move-in-ready facility, a fully custom build is your best route. A horse arena or custom stable is a lifetime investment. When you partner with us for a custom build, we guide you through the entire complex process from start to finish.
Building an exceptional facility in the Pacific Northwest requires structural knowledge. Every step matters, from initial excavation and proper drainage to framing the structure, selecting the proper footing, and running complex electrical and plumbing lines. While we specialize in the building portion, we coordinate with trusted, expert specialists across every phase. A custom build ensures your facility is perfectly optimized for durability, local weather demands, and daily workflow without you having to lift a hammer.
The Custom Kit
Do you love the satisfaction of a hands-on project? Do you have the skill, tools, and desire to erect your own structure? If so, a barn kit might be the perfect fit for your needs.
However, standard pre-engineered kits on the market are notoriously rigid, often leaving you stuck with “cookie-cutter” dimensions and layouts that don’t quite fit your actual routine. That is where PACWest Arenas does things differently.
We are your premier choice for completely custom kits. We don’t just ship you a generic box of parts; we design a post-frame kit to your exact, unique specifications. You get the fun and cost savings of building it yourself, backed by elite, custom engineering.
Which Path Is Right For You?
Benefits of a Full Custom Build:
- You want a professional crew to handle excavation, drainage, plumbing, and structural framing.
- Your facility requires complex electrical, plumbing, or specialized arena footprints.
- You want a completely hands-off, premium turnkey experience.
Benefits of a Custom Kit:
- You have construction experience (or a trusted local crew) and want to manage the physical build.
- You want to reduce labor costs while still getting a high-quality structure.
- You want the satisfaction of building it yourself, but refuse to settle for a rigid, generic design.
