At a glance
The build, by the numbers.
This 26′x12′x8′ metal loafing shed offers a customizable horse shelter with a single slope roof, open section, enclosed building, and overhang for weather protection.
Nothing is framed for drive-in access as listed, so an opening or overhead door is sized at quote. Buyers most often order a 26′x12′x8′ building for agricultural co-op shop and feed storage. It also gets ordered for a shop classroom.

What's it for
Same shell, very different jobs.
A 26′x12′ gets specified differently depending on what goes in it — door placement, openings, leg height, whether it closes in. Tell us the job and we'll spec it to that instead of handing you a blank form.

Questions
Good to know.
A specialist can walk you through this exact build over the phone in a few minutes.
No concrete required. A 26′ x 12′ x 8′ cover anchors to concrete, asphalt or compacted ground, and the right anchors for whichever you have are included. What matters is that the 26′ x 12′ area is level and clear when the crew arrives.
It is the leg height, not the tallest point. 8′ runs from the base rail to the eave, where the roof meets the 12′ sidewall; the ridge is higher again because of the roof pitch. For anything driving into a 26′ x 12′ x 8′, the door opening is the real limit anyway.
$5,820 covers the building, the delivery and the install crew. It does not cover site work — leveling the 26′ x 12′ area, or pouring a slab if this one is going on concrete. Those happen before install day. Options and local wind and snow certification are the two things that move the number.
Rust-through on the frame runs 20 years. Workmanship on the install runs 30 days. They are deliberately different lengths because they cover different risks — the steel of this 26′ x 12′ x 8′ degrading, versus how it went together on your site.
The 26′ x 12′ x 8′ shown here is one point on a range, not a fixed product. Width adjusts in 2-foot increments, length in 5-foot increments, leg height by the foot — so if you need a few more feet of 12′, that is a re-price rather than a different building.
Frame gauge is structure, panel gauge is skin. On this 26′ x 12′ the frame is 14-gauge galvanized steel and the panels are 29-gauge steel. Because the scale runs backwards, the smaller number is the thicker steel — which is why the frame figure is the one worth checking when two quotes look the same.
Reviews
Owners say it best.
Real, verified Google reviews from owners who bought their building from us, straight from our business profile.
View all reviewsWe are building a barndominium and they delivered the shell on schedule. Our contractor said the framing was straighter than most stick-built shells he sees.

Loafing shed for the horses showed up exactly when they said it would. The crew leveled and anchored on uneven ground and didn't try to charge extra.

Hurricane-rated anchors and engineer-stamped drawings were ready when our county asked. Permit went through the first time.
