An experienced riding arena and equine facility construction company serving the greater Mid-Atlantic from our Lancaster, PA home base.
Pennsylvania is where we’ve built our name as horse barn builders and arena contractors who understand how these properties function day to day.
We’re based in New Providence, PA, and much of our work happens throughout PA — 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 that are 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 year-round. Arena footing and base prep that hold up well. Layout decisions that make daily chores easier instead of harder.
This is the kind of work we focus on. Pennsylvania’s mix of weather, terrain, and soil conditions makes these decisions even more important, and we’ve been building with that in mind for years.
If you’re looking for a Pennsylvania horse barn builder or arena builder who knows how to get these details right—and build something that lasts—this is where we work.

Their level of quality well exceeded our expectations!Posted on Jen TrimbleSeptember 25, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Double S did an incredible job renovating our horse barn, transforming a decrepit old loft into a stunning living and entertaining space. Sam and Steve and their crew were all talented, hard-working, honest, and fair. The project was a fun collaboration from start to finish. We recommend Double S without reservation.

My growing family and I could not be happier with the work we received from Double S Construction. We had an addition built on to our house. A Master bedroom, bath and walk-in closet. The work they have done is nothing short from beautiful. They listened to us and helped provide professional suggestions where we needed it. They were efficient during this process and paid attention to the fine details! My husband and I still can’t believe this is real. We would recommend Double S to anyone! Overall, top notch company to work with!Posted on Joe BaciottiDecember 16, 2024Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This is the second building we've built with Double S Construction and we couldn't be happier. Sam & Steve were far more responsive than any other company we spoke with, and offered much better options and flexibility to make sure we had the exact finishes and details we wanted. Their crew is as professional as it gets and the craftsmanship is top notch.Posted on Dave MJune 6, 2024Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Our experience with Double S way exceeded expectations. Steve was really helpful in the design phase, being patient with all my questions. Sam and his crew were great. Always showed up on time, kept the job site very tidy and were meticuloous in every detail. The quality of the materials and the workmanship was phenomenal. We would whole heartedly recommend Double S for your horse barn or other project.Posted on Karen StellAugust 28, 2023Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Had an excellent experience working with both Sam and Steve. Reasonable price, professional, very responsive, and high quality construction. I had a hiccup in the permitting process at the very end on my side, but even then they were very patient and willing to work through it with me. I am very happy with the end result and the horses are too!Posted on Chris FortuneJune 16, 2022Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Double S Construction did a good job on my recent pole building construction. They were in touch with me and kept me informed throughout the construction of what had been done and any concerns or any changes that I wanted. They did quality work and would highly reocmmend them to anyone that askPosted on Garry JohnsonSeptember 2, 2021Verified by TrustindexTrustindex verified badge is the Universal Symbol of Trust.

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 Pennsylvania to know where problems come up and how to solve them before they become expensive issues.
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, like clean framing, tight finishes, proper materials, and doing the job well so it still looks and performs years down the road.
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, a training facility, or a combination building, we design around how you use the space—not the other way around.
Construction projects can go sideways when communication breaks down. 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 working with us.
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 across custom barns, equine facilities, riding arenas, timber frame construction, barndominiums, and custom homes throughout Pennsylvania.
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.
peace of mind – we make building a new horse barn comfortable from the first call.
Give us a call to discuss your ideas and needs. Whether it’s a new build or an upgrade to your existing facility, we’ll work with you to define the perfect plan.
After visiting your site and reviewing your goals, we’ll provide a proposal that outlines costs, timelines, and the process ahead. This way, you’ll know exactly what to expect before we begin. If you’re ready to go, we begin refining the plans together.
Once construction is complete, you’ll have a stunning new space that elevates your equestrian experience. From training to hosting events, your arena will be ready to inspire.
We work across much of Pennsylvania, with a strong presence in some of the state’s most active equine and agricultural regions.
That includes Lancaster County, Chester County, and York County, along with the surrounding areas of Harrisburg, Berks County, and parts of the Lehigh Valley.
We also take on projects in more rural parts of the state where land use, layout, and long-term functionality matter just as much as the structure itself. We frequently build barns in NJ, MD, and DE, too
These areas are known for serious horse properties—private barns, training facilities, and working farms—and that’s the kind of work we’re built for.
If you’re in one of these regions (or nearby), there’s a good chance we’ve worked on a property like yours before and understand what it takes to build it right. Give us a call to chat!
If you’re planning a horse barn, riding arena, or custom build anywhere in Pennsylvania, the next step is a conversation. We’ll help you think through layout, site considerations, and what makes the most sense for how you’ll use the space.
Reach out to Double S Construction to get started. If it’s a good fit, we’ll build something that works the way it should, and holds up for years.
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. That puts us right in the middle of some of the state’s most active equine regions, and it’s where most of our projects start from. We work throughout the mid-Atlantic. We build riding arenas in Maryland, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and sometimes beyond.
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—so everything functions together instead of feeling separate.
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: discipline, traffic, and indoor vs. outdoor conditions are important. Getting the base right is what keeps footing consistent and prevents ongoing issues.
