All frame ledged & braced, unlined inside, fully galvanised fittings including heavy duty hinges, padbolts and cabin hooks.

Stable doors as above.

Sarking

Due to the large expanses of roof, sarking is standard.

This benefits reduction in condensation inside the stable as well as strengthening the complete structure.

Alternative

Also available is Alloy profile clad roofing or ONDUSTEEL, metal tiled effect sheeting.

We can also offer BARDOLINE which is a weatherproof shingle tile.
All are available in a wide range of colours laid over a sarking deck as standard.

Daylight

We can provide translucent sheets in the roof by cutting holes in the sarking deck.
To enhance the benefits of sarking we either offer a 2.4 x 300mm polycarbonate panel to each upper external stall wall or paired clear adjustable louvres.

Treatment

All exterior and ground contact timbers are fully pressure treated to BS4072/ 5268 and guaranteed against rot and insect damage for 15 years.  External panels are finished in an environmentally sympathetic natural light green colour.  This requires no further treatment (e.g. creosoting) but the use of a water repellent like Thomson's Waterseal is recommended.  The panels are also stainable to a wide range of colours.

Kickboarding

Standard to all internal & external walls on stable areas.

Other areas such as tack and feed areas can be lined on request.
