“Here at Horizon Structures, we try to always have a good selection of barns and sheds on our lot that folks in a rush can choose from and benefit from a discount price too. During this pandemic I admit our shedrow barns and run-in sheds were selling off our lot faster than we could replace them, but generally we have a variety of styles folks can pick from.
If you call our offices don’t forget to ask if there are any specials available. For example right now we are offering Amazon gift cards for either $150 or $250 depending on the purchase price on orders for run-in sheds, equine hay feeders, outdoor living structures, chicken coops, kennels and playsets,” explained Siragusa.
Wherever you choose to buy your ‘instant’ horse shelter here are a few factors you should consider carefully before putting down your deposit.
- Ensure the price quoted is ‘to the penny’ and includes all expenses including set up and delivery as well as unit price and mentions anticipated timeline for delivery, all of which should be provided in writing.
- Ask about extra discounts if making multiple purchases at one time.
- Financing may be available from larger companies. Don’t be shy to apply.
- Check references out on the company to validate their timeliness on delivery and product quality.
- Make sure there is a written warranty on the structure that clearly defines what coverage is offered.
- Obtain any necessary building permits from your local town/village to add the structure to your property.
- Review the access requirements to bring the structure on site and make sure you can comply with them.
- If making price comparisons between companies don’t forget to consider the type of materials used and the quality of construction.
“We have worked with numerous folks over the years that have required a new horse barn or shelter yesterday,” said Siragusa, “ From Olympians like eventer Boyd Martin whose farm suffered a fire, to horse rescues like Flare Oaks that were hit by hurricane damage, to horse owners locked out of seeing their horses during the pandemic that wanted to bring their horses home."
"Whatever the reason we are happy to help get the need for shelter covered as quickly as possible.”
