We’re having a conversation about stall doors today. If you’re a barn geek like us, every design element in a barn is meaningful, but perhaps none so much as doors, which can be used dozens of times a day. Doors need to be safe, efficient, functionally compatible with your barn’s workflow, and of course, handsome.

Join Helena and guest, Nick Thornton of Lucas Equine, as they chat about what goes into choosing the right stall doors for a barn. Whether you’re building new or ready to replace what you have, it’s an interesting conversation about what kind of thoughts go into this important barn component. Listen in!
