Whether you need a couple of stables for horses at home or a large range of stabling for a professional stable yard, we can design your perfect timber stable block.
Making best use of the space you have, we will custom build your timber stables in any configuration, including features such hay barns, tack rooms and feed stores. Adding corner stables creates either an L-shape or U-shape stable block, or even an enclosed stable yard with a covered walkway.
Our stables can be built as conventional static stables on a concrete base and brick course or we can build up to three stables on skids to create a mobile stable block.
All of our stables are constructed from the same sustainably sourced, pressure treated timber that we use in our range of timber buildings.
We are horse owners ourselves and our team has decades of experience designing and building stables.
Our wooden stables and timber stable blocks are built to last and to stand up to the daily rigours of equestrian life. In fact, we are so confident that we guarantee all of our timber stables for 5 years.
One size does not fit all; we work with you to design your ideal stable block incorporating all the features you need to create the perfect space for you and your equine friends . We build to order, so your stable design is entirely bespoke, whilst our large stock of pre-cut timbers and materials mean that our construction lead time is quick. Horses come in many shapes and sizes, from Shetland Ponies to Shire Horses, so we also offer larger stables for large horses as well as features such as three-part pony doors.
We have lots of useful planning advice for building stables and can help to guide you through a planning application.
Take a closer look at one of our timber stable blocks with a guided tour, highlighting many of the features and options in our range of stable buildings. This particular range of stables included a wash bay, tack room and was arranged in a courtyard style, U-shape configuration.
From one single stable to a range of 50 stables, arranged in any combination or layout. Whether you want a back door to turnout, talk grilles and rubber matting, we can build to your design.
Our Olson Stables are available in several specifications that are designed to suit every budget and requirement. From OTB 2, which is an ideal starter package for a small horse yard or handful of stables, to OTB 3 with a variety of additional features such as; increased headroom for your horse, a boarded roof for added insulation, plus many other features. See the other tabs for full details.
Our timber buildings are available with a range of roofing options. Below are the different types of roofing material that you can choose between. Most of our standard building specifications include Onduline or are finished ready for tiling by a roofing specialist.
Available in several colours, these corrugated sheets are made from recycled fibres that are then saturated with bitumen under controlled pressure and heat conditions. The result is a uniform, hardwearing roof backed by a 15-year manufacturers guarantee. The colours are impregnated into the material so do not require maintenance. The only thing you need to do is keep the leaves off and clear the gutters. This is our standard roof for stables as it has the ability to deaden the sound of rain.
The sister product to Onduline, Onduvilla is similar in being made from recycled fibres but is in an overlapping tile format (installed as sheets). The roof is coloured with variations to replicate the look of a clay tiled roof. With a 15-year manufacturer guarantee, this lightweight roofing material is laid over a boarded roof and can installed on any of our building ranges.
Tapco offers a slate look without the cost. These composite tiles can be installed by our own team and are durable and long-lasting. Tapco tiles can be installed on relatively shallow pitched roofs are available in various colours and shades as well as styles of tile.
Offering a traditional look, clay or slate tiles are ideal for complimenting surrounding buildings. All our OTB3 buildings (subject to pitch) are ready to receive a heavier roofing tile. As we install timber buildings all over the UK we prefer to do what we do best, timber buildings, and then you will need to instruct your own local roofer for this option.
Adding a clear sheet to the roof of a timber building allows natural daylight to flood into the space and makes it brighter for both animals and humans. This option can only be combined with Onduline roofing. Many of our buildings include one or more clear roofing sheets (depending upon the size of the building) but you can specify additional clear sheets.
Many of our timber buildings are available with a choice of cladding as well as a number of internal lining options for walls and ceilings. Depending upon the specification you choose, some will be standard and some will be available for an additional cost.
An optional upgrade to provide full height boarding to eaves for equestrian buildings including stables, field shelters and American barns. Made from 15mm OSB boarding the boards extend to the eaves of the building.
Standard lining on all field shelters, stables, mobile stables and American barns -we line the walls with 15mm OSB boards to 4ft high (1.2m). This protects the building and provides additional strength.
The use of OSB roof boarding both gives a nicer finish to the inside of your building and adds strength to the design.
Shiplap cladding has an overlap and rebate that gives a naturally tight fit and a low profile. Sourced from a FSC certified supplier and pressure treated, shiplap is low maintenance. Treated shiplap can be painted or stained but this is not required.
Our most popular finish for carriage houses and oak framed garages, weatherboard has a tapered profile with each board overlapping the next in a traditional style seen on timber buildings for several centuries. Well suited to a country setting or period building, the boards are treated prior to installation and are sourced only from FSC certified timber suppliers. Weatherboard can be painted or stained but this is not required thanks to the preservation process.
Our timber buildings are built to order, so we can incorporate lots of different features and fittings to create your perfect design. Depending upon the specification you choose, some will be standard and some will be available for an additional cost.
It is all too easy to skip past the need to deal with run-off water from the roof of a timber building. Depending upon the roof configuration, many of our buildings include half-round plastic guttering to the front, however we also offer the option to fit guttering and downpipes to the rear pitch as well.
Galvanised talk grilles are standard fit on our American barns and optional extras for stables. Solidly built, the vertical bars allow horses to see their neighbours.
Fresh air and air movement help to keep horses and livestock healthy. We install timber vent grilles in the gable ends of stables and American barns. Depending on the size and layout of your stables, you may like to specify additional vents as required.
An upgrade from standard L-shaped chew strips, the U-shaped chew strips wrap around the entire entrance support preventing nibbling from both inside and outside of the stable. Use on Stables door surrounds and field shelter openings.
Standard on our mobile field shelters and stables, these L-shaped chew strips prevent animal damage to the door surrounds and openings. You can upgrade to U-shaped chew strips which offer even greater protection.
We are able to fit an additional stable door to the rear of your stables - these are a popular option for American Barns but are also great for stable blocks, as not only does the opening top door offer additional light and air flow into the stable, but the door can open into individual turnout pens built to the rear of your stabling.
Taken from our American Barn range and available also on our standard stable range this opening window really promotes cross-flow ventilation as well as letting in extra light when it's open. NB The window is an opening that features a hinged 'door' to close - there is no glass.
All of our stables include a canopy, however, as an option, we are able to board the underside with ply or shiplap which creates a cleaner and smarter finish.
This door is divided into three sections, allowing the top, middle, and bottom parts to be opened separately. The design allows for easy use for smaller horses or ponies. When your ponies grow taller or become larger, the two bottom doors can be bolted together to produce a standard height bottom stable door.
