Installation Tips

Stable System Components

Our stable system is the most economical system on the market. The stalls are primarily constructed of wood, and our metal components are incorporated. Remember, we provide the components; you can build the stalls however you wish! Keep reading below for more insight on how stalls with our components are commonly constructed.

Note: Boards are not included with frames.

Builder Installation Tips For Your New Horse Stall Kit

Installation Tip #1

44" between poles is the recommended opening to use with a 48"  sliding door.

Installation Tip #2

You always want the grills on the wall aligned with the grills on the door. To accomplish this, you need a minimum of 50 1/2" of wood on the front wall before setting the grill on top. Ten runs of 2x6 tongue and groove lumber work well.

Installation Tip #3

Another three boards are needed above the grill to create a header where you will attach the door track. Our grills are 36" high with 34" long pickets. There is a channel at the top and bottom to accommodate 2x lumber. The door frames are 88" tall (around 89" with a guide channel).

Installation Tip #4

Tongue and groove 2x6 Southern Yellow Pine with beveled edge is a popular choice for stall fronts. All of our hardware is made to accommodate 2x lumber (1 1/2" actual width).

Installation Tip #5

7" is a good distance to figure from the top of the door to the top of the track bracket.

Installation Tip #6

You need about an inch of space between the top of the door and the "S-turn" in the trolley bolt. You need this gap available when you lift the door up over the guide pin bracket.

Installation Tip #7

Holes must be drilled in the door frame to fasten the one latch piece. The boards behind the latch should be long enough so the screws that hold the latch can be screwed into wood.

Installation Tip #8

This partition consists of 12 runs of 2x6 boards and 6 metal pieces provided by us.

2 pieces 8' U-Channel (one at each end)
3 pieces 4' Grill
1 piece 4' Wall Brace
