Horse Stall Materials, Explained

What the spec sheet actually means.

14-gauge steel. The thickness of the frame tubing. 14-gauge is the minimum a reputable builder should use — heavy enough to take a kick and last decades. Thinner steel flexes and fails.

Powder-coat finish. A baked-on finish far tougher than paint. Resists rust, moisture, and daily wear, and keeps its looks. Black is standard; other colors on request.

Stainless hardware. Hinges and latches in stainless steel won't rust and won't seize. Latches should hold against a determined horse.

3-inch spindle spacing. The gap between vertical bars. At 3-inch spacing, even a small hoof can't slip through and get caught — a safety standard, not a style choice.

Puck board. The quarter-inch high-density plastic on our portable stalls — the same material that lines hockey arenas. Tough, weatherproof, wipes clean, won't splinter.

Tongue-and-groove ash hardwood. Hardwood boards that interlock with no gaps for the wood infill. Stain or leave natural; cut to length on site.

Recycled rubber mats. 4x6x¾-inch mats that cushion joints, give non-slip footing, and resist moisture — the right floor over a compacted base for comfort and drainage.

Where Feversham fits: 14-gauge steel, powder-coat, stainless hardware, 3-inch spacing — the durable, safe baseline — built in Canada and made to order.
