Stable blocks

Steel frame stable blocks
When designing your new stable blocks, animal health and wellbeing is always our top priority. We build stable blocks that are not only comfortable for the horses; they’re easy for riders to access, use and maintain.
Specialist features could include…
- Suitable roofing that provides good ventilation and natural daylight to maintain good physical and mental health.
- If you’re looking for internal stables, we can collaborate with the stable manufacturer to ensure our designs coordinate.
- Depending on the needs of your horses, we can design fully-enclosed stables with individual bays and can include stable windows.

Riding arenas

Steel frame riding arenas and riding school facilities
When designing your new riding arena, we’ll work with you to outline your requirements and create a design that suits your exact needs.
Specialist features could include…
- If you’d like a viewing gallery, we can incorporate spacious and comfortable seating for dozens or hundreds of spectators.
- We can also include features like a judge’s box on a mezzanine floor, jump storage, and equipment storage.
- Fibre cement sheets to keep the space warm during colder months and to provide better acoustics.
- Kick boarding to keep horses safer during rides
Remember, you can always extend your equestrian building in length, but it won’t be possible to make the facility wider. This is worth considering if you would like to build in phases or change your mind in the future.
Steel frame equestrian buildings that prioritise accessibility
Here are some of the ways we can help you ensure your building is safe and accessible.
- If you’re ever planning on using machinery to maintain the surface of the area, we would suggest installing large doors.
- We advise you on how to maximise daylight with the use of sliding side windows, avoiding an unpleasant greenhouse effect on a hot day.
- From including two or more entrances to advising on visitor and horse-box parking, we offer specialist advice based on experience.
