Sizing notes from the field
- 12x12 stalls + 12 ft aisle + 12x12 stalls = 36 ft. Four stalls per side at 48 ft long.
- Use sliding doors at both aisle ends for airflow and tractor access.
- A 10–12 ft eave keeps the aisle airy; add ridge venting and overhangs for ventilation.
- Swap two stalls for a tack room and feed room without changing the building size.
