BESPOKE WOODEN STABLES

Timber stables built around your horses

Bespoke wooden stables and stable blocks, designed for your site, your horses and the way you run your yard. Based in Devon, we design and build timber stables across the West Country, the wider UK and the Channel Islands.

Wooden stables designed from a blank sheet

We don’t sell off-the-shelf stable kits. Every timber stable block starts with your site, your horses and how you work: how many loose boxes you need, how they’re laid out, where tack and feed live, and how you move horses, hay and muck in and out each day.

The result is a wooden stable building that’s safe, practical and easy to use every day, built to handle hard wear and finished to a standard you’ll be proud of.

Stable blocks, loose boxes and stable yards

Whether you need a single loose box, a row of stables facing a yard or a complete equestrian yard planned as a whole, we design the layout to work with your land, your access and your other buildings. Options include:

  • Single loose boxes and stable rows
  • L-shaped and U-shaped stable yards
  • Stables with built-in tack and feed rooms
  • Larger boxes for foaling or bigger horses
  • Internal stabling in an American barn
  • Stables combined with a field shelter or hay store

Why timber for your stables

Timber is our speciality, with four decades of experience behind it. Sustainable timber is warm, natural and breathable, and a well-designed wooden stable sits beautifully in the countryside.

Where steel suits part of the job better, we can also supply steel-framed buildings, and we’ll help you choose the right frame. Read more about our timber framed buildings.

Stable fit-out and extras

It’s the details that make a stable block work. We can supply and fit:

  • Full tack room fit-out
  • Automatic drinkers
  • Horse showers and solariums
  • Full wiring, including solar and CCTV cameras
  • Rainwater harvesting systems
  • Tie posts and finishing touches

Design, planning and build in one place

Use us for the whole project, or just the stages you need. We offer an independent, unbiased design consultation, design and drawings, planning applications and structural calculations, right through to building and fitting out. We can also design in solar panels and rainwater harvesting from the start, so your building is future-proofed rather than retro-fitted.
