Clover Leaf | EF002
A horse barn works when each space has a clear job. Clover Leaf EF002 is a 36×40 horse barn in New Jersey with three European-style stalls, a tack room, a wash room, and a 12×40 loft. A 10×40 lean-to extends off one eave to cover part of the riding area.
Read how this horse barn with lean-to fits those rooms into one frame before you plan your own.
Photos of a 36×40 Horse Barn
Look at the front first, where white siding sits under a slate-gray roof with a small cupola on the ridge. A covered section along the front is held up by white posts, with three dark brown doors behind it. A black gate and a wood rail fence cross the lawn in front, and bare trees stand behind the barn.

Why Choose Pioneer?
A horse barn has to work for horses and handler. Here is how Pioneer Buildings, a New Jersey horse barn builder, set this one up:
- European-style stalls: Two 12×14 stalls and one 12×12 stall use tongue-and-groove walls, with bars on the common walls and 12-foot-high back walls.
- A lean-to over the ring: A 10×40 lean-to off the second eave puts a roof over part of the riding area.
- Work rooms: A 12×14 tack room and a three-sided 12×12 wash room sit inside the same 36×40 frame.
- An open loft: Scissor trusses leave a 12-foot open center above a 12×40 loft with railings.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a European-style horse stall?
A stall with tongue-and-groove walls and bars toward the aisle. Here, two 12×14 stalls and one 12×12 stall use bars on the common walls and tongue-and-groove on the 12-foot back walls.
Why add a lean-to to a horse barn?
It gives shade and shelter outside the main walls. On this barn, a 10×40 lean-to on the second eave roof is part of the riding area, with painted slate snow guards.
Does a horse barn need a wash room and a tack room?
Both save steps. This barn has a 12×14 tack room and a three-sided 12×12 wash room with no ceiling, so washing and tack storage stay under the same roof.
Pricing & Financing Options
On a horse barn with a lean-to, the quote follows the rooms more than the footprint. The three European-style stalls, the tack room, the wash room, the 12×40 loft with stairs, the scissor trusses, the cupola, and the lean-to each move the number. The customer supplies the sliders, Dutch doors, and stone veneer, and Pioneer frames the openings and prepares the walls. Pioneer does not publish a price because none of these are catalog items. Tell us how you will use the space, and we will price your version.
Financing is available through Hearth. Learn more about our Financing Options, call (888) 448-2505, or Request Your Free Quote to get started.

Final Thoughts
Write down who supplies each door and finish before the barn is priced. On this build, Pioneer frames the slider and Dutch door openings and installs the doors the customer supplies. The walls are prepped with OSB for stone veneer, and the customer supplies the stone and the lean-to post wraps. That split keeps the scope clear. The trade-off is timing, because the customer-supplied pieces have to be sized to the openings. List each item and its owner before framing starts.
