What Horizon Structures does

Horizon Structures LLC is a Pennsylvania-based for-profit manufacturer of prefabricated outdoor structures, founded in 2001 and privately held by owner Dave Zook. The company designs, builds, and delivers fully assembled buildings using Amish craftsmanship methods across five primary product lines: horse barns (run-in sheds, shed row, center aisle, monitor, timber frame, and barndominium designs), dog kennels (residential and commercial), chicken coops (including signature collaborations with Lisa Steele and Tilly's Nest), prebuilt greenhouses, and prebuilt cedar saunas (Cedar Glow, Aurora, Solace) with HUUM electric heaters and Rock Wool insulation. The underlying technology is modular/prefabricated construction delivered ready-to-use via specialized F550 trucks and a proprietary 'Mule' placement device for tight sites, supported by a 5-year top-to-bottom and lifetime hardware warranty.
