LOL Starlite, mine is just your basic metal pole barn that I've got pipe corral stalls in with a dirt floor right now. I have tax return money ear marked for putting in the flooring and stall skins, I have the kits for the stalls already, just need to install them. I wanted to wait until I got the floor in and level though.

The barn that I have was built by my father inlaw and a friend. It started out as just an east wall. Then they finally built the rest of it. NONE of the stalls are square lol. The fronts have cattle panels for the bars. I am replacing those with actual bars. I have put slidding doors on all my stalls now. I am actually in the process of putting in a new tack room and wash / ready room. It's amazing how fast time flys when your doing all this work lol. I am putting in a round pen outside too! and new fencing. But all this is being done with recycled materials! so little to no cost to me.

I'm looking at stall skins too, I'm tired of the mats slipping and curling. I wish I could invest in the stall matresses and stall skins over that but....yeah, when I can afford a $200,000 MD Barn.....sure......LOL!
If you have mats already, try stall mat klips http://stallmatklips.com/ a woman I show know from one of the arab circuits designed these.

VERY clever. Who is the person who developed them? I really hope she patented the idea (I didn't look to see if she had on the website). REALLY REALLY clever!
