Wooden Horse Stables for Sale - Built to Order
Looking for high-quality wooden horse stables for sale? We manufacture single and double timber horse stables built to order, designed for private owners, small yards and paddock use. Each stable can be custom-sized and delivered nationwide.
A high quality, low cost wood, than means great value
We build our stables from first-grade Bulgarian spruce - of course, other wood options are available, but we find that nothing else matches it for value; other woods in the same price range (e.g. the Scandinavian spruce the many of our competitors use) are a lot weaker, while stronger timbers (e.g. oak) are a lot more expensive.
Available Sizes for Wooden Horse Stables
Generally wooden horse stables are commonly built in 12x12 and multiples of that, although of course with us, all dimensions can be customised to suit your horses and available space.
Sturdy construction from a reliable style
We clad our horse stables in an overlapping 'Country Cut' style, with a 20mm overlap between boards - this is a lot more sturdy than the 5mm overlap found in Tongue-and-Groove (T&G) clad horse stables, especially considering that many improperly treated T&G can shrink over time, resulting in much less than 5mm connection between boards.
A word about tanalising
Tanalising is a process intended to extend the lifespan of low quality wood, by trying to give it properties that high quality wood would naturally have. This is not as effective as using high quality wood, and can even have disadvantages such as promoting shrinkage and knot loss. This is why we choose to use high quality wood (our first-grade Bulgarian spruce), rather than tanalising inferior wood.
Why timber is a great material for the private owner horse stables
While we do also offer metal and composite buildings (it's your building, so why shouldn't you be able to choose the material you want), we will almost always recommend going with wood.
Optional Skid Bases for Wooden Horse Stables
We offer several standard options for adding mobility to your horse stable:
:: No skid - The cheapest option, but you will not be able to move your building, and as it will count as a permanent structure, you may need planning permission.
:: Timber skid - This will give your building a very basic amount of movement, and will usually not require planning permission.
:: Metal skid - This will allow you to more easily move your building, and we recommend it if you intend to move your building short distances occasionally.
:: Metal skid on wheels - This option allows full and easier mobility of your building, and we would recommend it if you intend to move your building over a long distance or on a regular basis.
Frequently Asked Questions About Our Stables and Equine Buildings
1. Does wood help regulate stable temperature?
Heat insulation: Wood has natural insulating properties, helping to keep horse stables warmer in winter and cooler in summer. In comparison, an uninsulated metal building can lose heat in winter and become excessively hot in summer.
2. Are your timber stables quieter than metal buildings?
Sound insulation: Yes. Wood absorbs sound better than metal, helping reduce noise from rain or hail on the roof, which can disturb horses.
3. What are the other benefits of wooden horse stables?
Wooden stables are often more cost-effective, environmentally friendly, easier to customise, and visually more attractive than many alternatives. They also allow for easier future extensions or modifications.
