  • What do you have in a two-stall?
    We offer all of our barn designs in a two-stall configuration. A product consultant would happily go through the design process with you.
  • What do I need to provide for unloading the kit?
    Be sure you have adequate space to set the bundles flat without twisting. You will also need a 5,000-lb forklift suitable for the terrain where you are unloading.
  • Do you have two stalls with a feed room?
    Yes, any of our barns can be designed to meet a two-stall with a feed room.
  • How do your barns compare to other metal barns in the marketplace? What are some differences?
    Our barns are superior in design and strength. They have a 3″ x 2″ 12 Gauge wall base channel instead of the industry standard 2″ x 2″ 14 Gauge. Our anchors are spaced at 4′ instead of the industry standard of 8′ and 12′. Unlike the light gauge C channel frames, which have the wall panels floating in them, our bolt-together design uses stronger wall connectors, with all panels securely bolted in place. Each 4′ panel is interchangeable, making repairs and modifications easy.
  • Where are you located?
    Our manufacturing is in Cleburne, TX, but we serve customers nationwide.
  • Do you have smaller ones for two horses?
    We start with the Run-in shed style and Malibu, which are the two most economical. Because neither has a porch, these would have the smallest footprint.
  • Do you do discounts for a business?
    We sell all of our products at our best factory direct pricing.
  • Do they have to be on concrete?
    Yes, there are two choices: concrete piers at 4’ spacing or the standard concrete ribbon footing under all walls.
  • What's the wind rating #3, and must they be anchored down?
    Yes, our barns are designed for high wind loads and must be anchored to meet these requirements.
  • Which state do you serve?
    All 50 of the United States of America.
  • Is installation included?
    No, installation is not included. We provide a complete kit shipped to your site, detailed documentation, and an installation manual with pictures for your installer or subcontractor. Our panelized steel horse barns require no on-site welding, making the installation straightforward.
  • What is your wind rating?
    Our standard barns are engineered for 90 MPH winds, with options to upgrade to a 150 MPH rating.
  • Is there a cost for me to go through the barn design process?
    No, one of our product consultants would be happy to take you through the process and design a barn that meets your needs, wants, and dreams!
  • What does the 20% deposit get me?
    When the initial design process is complete, a 20% deposit secures your spot in the queue to have the architectural plan set completed, a position in the manufacturing schedule, and a delivery date.
  • What is your lead time?
    It takes about 9 weeks from the time you place your $1,000 deposit until your kit is shipped. Additional time for engineering, permitting, and other requirements can extend the lead time by 4+ weeks.
  • Can I pick up my order?
    Yes, you can pick up your order if you have the proper DOT-approved equipment. However, most customers prefer us to handle shipping to avoid liability.
  • Do you sell parts for my existing barn repairs or modifications?
    Yes, we sell parts for Ulrich Horse Barns and Ring-O-Steel Barn brands. Contact us for a parts quote. Unfortunately, our parts are not compatible with other brands.
  • How long have you been designing and manufacturing horse barns?
    For 52+ years. Founded in 1972, we are the original innovator in the panelized steel horse barns. The original brand name was Ring-O-Steel Barns, and in 2020, we rebranded to Ulrich Horse Barns LLC when we began serving customers nationwide.
  • What is the best number to call?
    You are welcome to contact a product consultant at 817-506-4489 or at 877-854-BARN (2276).
  • What tools do I need for installation?
    You will need a cordless drill, a concrete hammer drill, and hand tools. In addition, the center aisle barn will require a lift for the center-end gables.
  • How can I reserve my spot for an order?
    Place a $1,000 deposit and sign the order contract.
  • What is your snow load? Can I install a solar panel on the roof?
    Our standard snow load is rated for 30+ lbs per square foot. We can engineer designs for additional loads of 100+ lbs per square foot, including solar panels.
  • Can I place an Ulrich cabin on any type of land?
    Our cabins can be installed on various foundations, but we recommend checking soil conditions, access roads, and local regulations before purchasing.
  • Can I finance my Ulrich cabin purchase as an investment rental?
    Yes! We offer financing options, and many customers use rental income to offset their cabin payments.
  • What maintenance is required for an Ulrich vacation rental cabin?
    Regular upkeep includes checking the roof, HVAC, plumbing, and exterior staining or painting. Our cabins are built to last with minimal maintenance.
  • How much can I earn from my cabin as an Airbnb or VRBO rental?
    Earnings depend on factors like location, seasonality, and amenities. Many of our customers report great returns, and we can connect you with owners who have experience renting their Ulrich cabins.
  • How long does it take to build and install an Ulrich cabin?
    Our streamlined process ensures most cabins are ready for installation in less than four months.
  • What sizes and styles of cabins are best for vacation rentals?
    Our cabins range from cozy one-bedroom retreats to spacious multi-room layouts. The best option depends on your target guests, location, and budget. Our design team can help you find the perfect fit.
  • Are Ulrich cabins customizable for short-term rentals?

  • Can I use an Ulrich cabin as a vacation rental?
    Yes! Many of our customers have successfully used Ulrich cabins as Airbnb and VRBO rentals. Our cabins are built to provide comfort, durability, and an inviting aesthetic that appeals to vacationers.
  • How do I furnish my cabin to attract more guests?
    We recommend comfortable furniture, stylish décor, and amenities like fire pits, hot tubs, and outdoor seating areas to create a memorable guest experience.
  • Are Ulrich cabins energy-efficient and comfortable for guests?
    Yes! We use high-quality insulation, efficient HVAC systems, and durable materials to ensure year-round comfort.
  • What features help maximize my cabin’s rental income?
    Popular rental features include open floor plans, large porches, high-end kitchens, modern bathrooms, and scenic views. Adding WiFi, air conditioning, and unique design elements can attract more guests.
  • Do you deliver and install cabins nationwide?
    We primarily serve Texas and its surrounding states, but for additional fees, we can certainly deliver to areas outside that radius.
