Can a single pre-engineered steel building combine an indoor riding arena with attached stalls, tack room, and hay storage while still meeting local building codes?

Quick Answer

es. A single TruSteel pre-engineered riding arena steel building can include a clear-span indoor arena plus shed-row stalls, a tack room, and hay storage—all engineered on the same red-iron frame. County-specific stamped building and foundation plans ensure the whole layout meets local wind, snow, and collateral loads.

Detailed Answer

TruSteel combines open arena space with fully enclosed support areas by starting with a clear-span frame—often a 100×200 or 120×240 riding arena steel building—then adding 20- to 30-ft shed rows or interior partitions for 10-plus stalls, a wash/tack room, feed, and hay lofts. Because every red-iron steel building kit ships with stamped building and foundation plans engineered for your exact zip-code loads, the entire footprint (arena plus accessory spaces) goes through your local plan review as one compliant structure.

Key advantages:

  • Code-ready: IAS-accredited suppliers design to the latest IBC, NEC, and NFPA requirements; fire-rated dividers, exit doors, and ventilation options make it easy to satisfy animal-housing and hay-storage rules.
  • 100 % steel, no wood: termite-proof columns and purlins carry high roof loads while keeping aisles clear for tractors and shavings deliveries.
  • Fast timeline: you receive a quote and preliminary sketch in 24–72 hours, stamped drawings in 2–4 weeks for most arenas (8–16 weeks if highly customized), and the bolt-up kit lands on-site about four weeks after approvals.
  • Turn-key help: TruSteel’s installer network can erect the building in one to two weeks and add doors, insulation (R-13/R-19), skylights, and horse-safe liner panels.

The result is a single, storm-resistant structure that streamlines daily chores, keeps horses under one roof, and passes inspection the first time. Contact us today for your free quote.
