About Horizon Structures LLC
Horizon Structures, LLC is a Pennsylvania-based manufacturer of prefabricated horse barns, chicken coops, dog kennels, greenhouses, and outdoor living structures (gazebos, pergolas, pavilions), headquartered at 5075 Lower Valley Road in Atglen, PA. Dave Zook founded the company in 2001 after growing up working in his family's shed business, Stoltzfus Structures — a separate, still-operating company founded around 1975 by Dave's father, Gideon Zook. In 2017, Dave's three brothers (Jonathan, Mark, and Peter) joined Horizon's team, and Dave's son Justin later bought into the business as well.
Horizon Structures shares its roughly 65,000-square-foot Atglen facility with Stoltzfus Structures and uses Amish carpenters to build most of its structures, which are typically delivered fully assembled. The company's current product line centers on animal structures (barns, coops, kennels), greenhouses, and outdoor living products; its own site's pages are not fully consistent about where the shed/garage line is handled, but it generally refers those inquiries to Stoltzfus Structures. In January 2024 it acquired Eberly Barns, a Lancaster County, PA modular barn builder, saying it would keep the Eberly brand and website running.
The company is federally registered in the U.S. government's System for Award Management under the legal name Horizon Structures LLC, per aggregator HigherGov's SAM.gov-sourced data, listing Pennsylvania as its state of incorporation and a formation date of March 14, 2001. The Better Business Bureau's own profile records a business-incorporated date of March 14, 2001 (matching HigherGov's figure exactly) and a separate "Business Started" date of April 1, 2000. BBB also names David Zook's title as President/Owner.
Is Horizon Structures LLC Legitimate?
Horizon Structures carries an A+ rating from the Better Business Bureau, though it is not BBB-accredited; as of August 2026 the BBB lists zero complaints and zero customer reviews against it in its reporting window, note BBB's own profiles generally cover a rolling three-year reporting period, so this does not mean 26 years without any dissatisfied customer. Its claimed Yelp profile shows a 3.0-star average from 6 reviews as of the same date: some describe fast, high-quality delivery, while four documented reviews across two platforms since 2015 describe unresolved problems — a 2022 reviewer alleged undisclosed additional credit-card charges and a damaged, partly unfinished custom greenhouse order that went unrepaired for weeks; a 2018 reviewer said the company's advertised shipping-included pricing was not honored when they called to order; a 2016 reviewer described slow, inconsistent communication on a custom kennel quote; and a 2015 listing on the complaint site Revdex describes an unresolved chicken-coop repair, though a company representative's own email reply in that listing shows Horizon Structures had arranged a replacement delivery for that customer. This is a small, specific sample (four accounts over eleven years, on a company with a much larger volume of positive reviews elsewhere) and should be read as individual, unverified allegations rather than a confirmed pattern.
No lawsuits or state/federal consumer-protection actions against Horizon Structures LLC itself were found in a search of CourtListener/RECAP court records or Pennsylvania Attorney General enforcement releases.
Separately, founder Dave Zook is also CEO of a real-estate investment business, The Real Asset Investor LLC, and a principal of several "Prestige Fund" investment vehicles tied to an ATM-machine investment network. He and The Real Asset Investor LLC are named defendants in a pending federal civil lawsuit, Kwansoo Lee DDS PLLC, et al. v. The Real Asset Investor LLC and David Zook (E.D. Pa., No. 2:25-cv-04842, filed August 2025), which alleges Securities Exchange Act violations; as of the case's most recent public docket activity, the defendants' motions to dismiss the amended complaints remained pending with no ruling issued. The operator of the underlying ATM network, Daryl Heller, separately pleaded guilty in 2026 to federal securities fraud in a related case; press coverage describes Zook as one of several investment managers who recruited investors into the funds, while Zook has publicly stated that he and his family were themselves victims who lost money and later sued to try to recover it. Horizon Structures LLC is not a party to this litigation, and no source found in this research ties Horizon Structures' own finances or operations to the ATM-investment matter — the documented connection found in this research is a promotional biography, filed as a court exhibit in that unrelated case, that lists Horizon Structures among several companies Dave Zook owns — we could not independently re-locate and re-verify that specific exhibit in this pass.
Staying Safe and Understanding the Contract Terms
Horizon Structures publishes its own warning about impersonation scams, stating that fraudulent social-media posts have used photos and giveaway claims copied from its real marketing to solicit money from consumers. The company says it will never pressure a buyer to send funds quickly and provides itemized, contract-based quotes that include freight and delivery costs.
Horizon's own published Terms and Conditions also lay out payment and cancellation terms that are worth reading before placing a deposit: a minimum $1,000 deposit is required at order, with a 3% fee on any card charge over $5,000; coops, kennels, and outdoor-living orders under $10,000 are paid in full at order; buildings $10,000–$30,000 require a 50% deposit; and modular buildings over $30,000 require 35% at order, 55% before delivery, and the remaining 10% after onsite completion. Cancellations must be submitted in writing within 3 business days of the order to qualify for a refund (minus a 3% card-processing fee), are subject to a 25% restocking fee, and the customer remains responsible for any permit or setup costs already incurred. Unpaid balances accrue 1.5% monthly interest (18% annually) plus collection fees up to 50%, and Horizon reserves the right to reclaim and resell the building — with no refund of principal — if a final invoice goes more than 30 days past due. Disputes go to binding arbitration under Pennsylvania law, with Lancaster County as the sole venue; Horizon's liability is capped at the amount the customer paid, excludes consequential damages, and the customer is contractually responsible for permits, site preparation, and any damage to underground utilities or the property during delivery. BBB's own profile separately documents a shorter refund/return summary: a 20% restocking fee applies to separately-purchased hardware or accessories (not full structures), defective returnable items are replaced free, and returns of pre-built structures or kits are handled case-by-case, with final compensation at the owner's discretion and capped at the structure's retail value. Horizon advertises a 5-year top-to-bottom written warranty and a lifetime hardware warranty, but its terms state that all warranty coverage is contingent on the account being paid in full.

- Get a written, itemized contract before sending any deposit, and read the payment/cancellation terms above — be cautious of any request to pay by wire transfer, gift card, or cryptocurrency outside of a signed agreement.
- If a delivered structure arrives damaged or doesn't match the order, document it in photos immediately and put the request for repair or replacement in writing.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Horizon Structures LLC a legitimate company?
Yes. It is a real, operating Pennsylvania LLC, federally registered in SAM.gov under the name Horizon Structures LLC with Pennsylvania listed as its state of incorporation and a formation date of March 14, 2001, matching the Better Business Bureau's own incorporation record exactly. It holds an A+ BBB rating and has a documented manufacturing history going back to 2001, alongside a small number of unresolved customer complaints described in the Legitimacy section above.
Is Horizon Structures the same company as Horizon Steel Structures, Horizon Services, or other 'Horizon' businesses?
No. Several unrelated businesses use "Horizon" in their name, including Horizon Steel Structures LLC (a metal-building company in Woodstock, Georgia) and Horizon Services (an HVAC/plumbing company in Delaware and New Jersey with its own separate complaint history). This profile covers only Horizon Structures, LLC of Atglen, Pennsylvania, the prefab barn and shed manufacturer at 5075 Lower Valley Road.
Is Horizon Structures or its founder involved in a lawsuit?
Horizon Structures LLC itself is not a party to any lawsuit found in this research. Its founder, Dave Zook, is separately a named defendant — along with his real-estate investment company, The Real Asset Investor LLC — in a pending federal civil lawsuit (E.D. Pa., No. 2:25-cv-04842) alleging securities-law violations connected to an ATM-investment fund network, unrelated to Horizon Structures' barn and shed business. The case remains unresolved, with defense motions to dismiss pending as of the latest available court record.
Does Horizon Structures deliver and install its structures, or work through local dealers?
Horizon Structures says it handles delivery itself, "from Pennsylvania to California," using its own crews and equipment, for barns, coops, kennels, and outdoor living structures. It has narrowed its shed and garage line and now refers those inquiries to its sister company, Stoltzfus Structures, based at the same Atglen, PA facility.
