Durable, Steel Frame Stables From Integrity
Think of stables and you’ll probably see, in your mind’s eye, the bricks and mortar variety. These were ranged about a cobbled courtyard, and each stall had a wooden Dutch door. This traditional stabling architecture is vanishing fast – or rather, much of it has been converted into homes, or niche shops. Far more common now are steel frame stables which provide an affordable and durable alternative to traditional materials.
Even the most ardent traditionalists will agree that, despite looking like a natural home for horses, old-fashioned stables were hard to keep clean. Easy enough to hose down the brickwork, certainly, but a thorough scrubbing was required as well. And those wooden doors tended to get gnawed requiring constant maintenance. Steel portal frame buildings require less maintenance, and offer a 50 year design life-span.
3 Benefits of Choosing Steel Frame Stables
Steel stable buildings may be the economic choice, but they also need to meet the high standards of equine welfare. Clients choosing streel frame stables tell us they’re convinced that their horses are well-housed, happy, and properly protected.
- Animal Well-Being. Older buildings were prey to leaks, pests and mould. Steel is a more hygienic material that’s easy to keep clean. Steel structures are built to withstand wind and extreme weather. They are also insulated to prevent rot or mould developing.
- Grow at Your Pace. If you find that your stables need to expand to include more stable bays, or additional buildings for offices, tack rooms, or even a riding arena, it’s easy enough to achieve this – without having to spend a fortune.
- Horses are Protected. Horses are prone to kicking, chewing or pulling at wooden stalls. This not only leads to high maintenance bills, it can also damage the horse with splinters from the wood. Steel is light, but strong and will withstand the kicks without needing repairs.
