Thinking about putting in another two or three stables. I currently have a wooden block of three and it's needed a fair bit of work to keep it functioning, including re-roofing with metal sheet recently. I'm wondering if I should just go full metal from the start for the new ones. They're only used for feeding/handling - the horses are out 24/7 all year, so I could use something like this and gates/ fencing to divide.
Any views or experiences? Are metal buildings very damp for instance?
TIA!
