New Jersey Horse Barn Builders & Custom Equine Contractors
An experienced riding arena and equine facility construction company bringing Lancaster County craftsmanship to New Jersey’s horse country.
Built for How You Ride, Work, and Live in NJ's Horse Country
New Jersey is home to some of the most storied horse country on the East Coast. We’re based in New Providence, PA, and our crews regularly travel throughout New Jersey to build on equine properties, private farms, and rural land where a barn or riding arena isn’t only a structure—it’s part of your routine.
We design and build custom horse barns, indoor riding arenas, outdoor arenas, and timber frame buildings tailored to the way you ride, train, and care for your animals. No two properties are the same, and the buildings shouldn’t be either. A well-built horse barn or arena comes down to details that don’t appear in a basic set of plans: proper ventilation that keeps horses comfortable through New Jersey’s humid summers, arena footing that holds up well, and layout decisions that make daily chores easier instead of harder.
Working Across State Lines
While we build from our Pennsylvania shop, we are fully equipped to work alongside your local New Jersey engineers and township officials to ensure your barn or arena meets all local zoning, environmental, and building codes. We bring our proven processes and quality materials directly to your site, managing the logistics seamlessly.
If you’re looking for an equine builder who knows how to get these details right—and build something that lasts—this is the kind of work we focus on.
What Our Customers Are Saying
Why Discerning NJ Horse Owners Choose Double S Construction
We Understand Equine Buildings Beyond the Surface
A barn or arena isn't just lumber and steel. It's airflow, drainage, footing performance, and daily usability. We've built enough horse barns and riding arenas across the Mid-Atlantic to know where problems come up and how to solve them before they become expensive issues.
Craftsmanship That Shows
A lot of our work comes from referrals and repeat clients. That doesn't happen by accident. It comes from paying attention to the small things—clean framing, tight finishes, proper materials—and doing the job well so it still looks and performs years down the road.
Custom Means Custom
We don't force your project into a template. Every property, every riding style, and every operation is different. Whether it's a private barn in Hunterdon County or a training facility in the Somerset Hills, we design around how you use the space—not the other way around.
Clear Communication From Start to Finish
Construction projects can go sideways when communication breaks down, especially on a job outside our home county. We keep things straightforward with clear expectations, timelines, and no guessing about what's happening next. Clients consistently tell us this is one of the biggest differences when working with us.
What Kinds Of New Builds and Renovations Do We Take On?
Most of what we build is tied directly to how a property is used every day, whether that’s caring for horses, running equipment, or creating a home that fits the land. Our services span custom barns, equine facilities, riding arenas, timber frame construction, barndominiums, and custom homes.
- Custom Horse Barns & Equine Facilities – We build barns that are designed around daily use.
- Indoor Riding Arena Construction – Clear spans, proper footing, and airflow make for indoor arenas built to ride well and hold up over time.
- Outdoor Arena Construction – We focus on grading and drainage first. Heavy clay soils in places like Hunterdon County mean drainage is the number one reason arenas fail. We understand how to grade and build a base over clay so your arena stays consistent, usable, and low-maintenance.
- Timber Frame Construction – Precision-built timber frame barns and homes that bring both structure and craftsmanship together.
- Barndominiums & Custom Homes – Homes designed to fit your property and lifestyle, often integrated with barns or agricultural use.
- Additions & Combination Buildings – Expansions and hybrid buildings that connect spaces in a way that works day-to-day.
If your project falls somewhere in this range, there’s a good chance we’ve done something similar and can help you think it through before anything gets started.

Serving New Jersey With Custom Horse Barns Of All Sizes
We regularly travel to the parts of New Jersey with the deepest roots in horse ownership, bringing our Lancaster County craftsmanship to Hunterdon and Somerset counties.
That includes the Somerset Hills—Bedminster, Far Hills, Peapack-Gladstone, and Bernardsville—along with the horse farms of Tewksbury, Clinton, and Flemington in Hunterdon County. We also take on projects in Warren County and western Morris County, where working farms and larger rural properties are common.
These areas are known for serious horse properties—private barns, training facilities, and working farms—and that’s exactly the kind of work we’re built for. If you’re in one of these regions (or nearby), we understand what it takes to build it right. Give us a call to chat!
Frequently Asked Questions
Most projects are completed in 3-5 months, depending on the size and complexity of the design. We’ll give you a clear timeline during the consultation phase.
We’re based in New Providence, Pennsylvania, about two hours from central New Jersey. Most of our New Jersey work centers around Hunterdon, Somerset, Warren, and western Morris counties. If you’re outside those areas, give us a call; we take on projects elsewhere in New Jersey when the project is the right fit.
We regularly travel two to two and a half hours from our shop for the right project. Distance alone doesn’t rule a project out—we’ll talk through the logistics on our initial call.
In addition to horse barns and riding arenas, we build timber frame structures, barndominiums, custom homes, and additions. Many of our projects combine multiple uses—like a barn with living space or a home connected to a working property.
Footing starts with the base. We focus on proper grading, compaction, and drainage first, then build the footing system to match how the arena will be used. Getting the base right—especially over New Jersey’s heavier soils—is what keeps footing consistent and prevents ongoing issues.
Yes. The Somerset Hills is one of the most established equestrian regions on the East Coast, and we understand the kind of barns and arenas that fit a serious hunter/jumper, eventing, or dressage operation, not just a general farm building.
