VersaTube Building 36'W x 48'L x 13/8'H Highlander Horse Barn / Metal Shelter Kit (VTHHB3648) - Select the color of your choice!

Classic Center-Aisle Layout / All-Steel Frame / Built for Horses, Built to Last

Give your animals, gear, and operation the secure protection they deserve with the VersaTube 36x48 Highlander Metal Horse Barn Kit. This extra-large DIY structure merges the timeless charm of a center-aisle barn with the strength and reliability of modern American steel-offering 1,728 square feet of flexible space for housing horses, storing equipment, or setting up stalls, tack rooms, or feed storage.

Whether you're outfitting a full stable or expanding your farm infrastructure, this kit is built to deliver long-term performance and professional-grade peace of mind.

Spacious Three-Part Design with Versatility in Mind

The Highlander Series stands out with its distinct 3-section design- a wide 12-foot center aisle bordered by two 12-foot wings. This configuration creates a functional, open layout perfect for a variety of uses: horse stalls, grooming bays, hay storage, or multi-purpose equipment protection.

At 36' wide by 48' long, this barn delivers serious square footage with high ceilings and plenty of ventilation. The 13'6" peak height promotes better air circulation and lighting, while the 8' wing walls keep your animals comfortable and protected.

DIY-Friendly with Pre-Engineered Steel Framing

Every Highlander kit is designed with the DIYer in mind. Using VersaTube's patented Slip-Fit frame system, the steel components come pre-cut and ready to assemble using standard tools-no welding, special equipment, or professional crew needed. It's a smart, streamlined build experience that saves time and labor.

Your kit arrives in two shipments: one for the galvanized frame and hardware, and one directly from VersaTube's sheet metal supplier with panels and trim. Clear step-by-step instructions ensure a smooth installation from start to finish.

All-Steel Construction - Made in the USA

Engineered for reliability, the barn frame is constructed from 2" x 3" 14 & 15-gauge galvanized American steel tubing with Triple Coat Protection for superior rust and corrosion resistance. Roof purlins and side girts are included to fully support vertical sheet metal installation, increasing runoff efficiency and structure integrity.

The kit includes 156 precision-cut 29-gauge steel panels, each featuring a clean 5-rib profile and tailored sizing for a custom fit. This means better performance, cleaner finishes, and a structure that's built to last for decades.

Flexible Anchoring - Install Almost Anywhere

The Highlander barn kit is compatible with a wide range of level foundations including gravel, concrete slabs, piers, dirt, and more. With the right anchors, it can even be elevated on retaining walls or stem walls to match your property's layout. Downloadable foundation drawings are available to assist with permitting if required.

All-Season Performance - Wind Rated to 110 MPH

From blustery winters to summer storms, the Highlander Horse Barn is engineered to handle it all. With a 3:12 roof pitch and a wind load rating of up to 110 MPH (when properly anchored), you can rest easy knowing your horses and equipment are protected through changing seasons.

Disclaimer: Wind and snow ratings provided are for reference only and have been calculated by assuming an entirely and securely assembled anchored frame. These calculations are subjected to change by locations. Conformance to local codes is the responsibility of the purchaser.

VersaTube kits are proudly made in the USA using only high-quality, American-sourced materials. Backed by a 20-year limited frame warranty and a 20-year paint finish warranty, this structure is built to last-and built to protect what matters most.
