HOW WE BUILD A STABLE
Click here to design your own stable
| 1: Foundations are laid by clients contractors Our basic requirements are 200mm (8") compacted hardcore with 100mm (4") to 150mm (6") concrete on top. Generally we recommend that the footprint of the building should be laid level, with the walkway of yard area to the front the stables sloping away from the doors. | |
| 2. A Single level course of engineering bricks is laid to the footprint of the building, a drawing is supplied with your order confirmation for the exact layout. This course of bricks lifts the bottom timbers away from the worst of the dampness. | |
| 3. The panels which are manufactured at our Bedfordshire factory are then erected using zinc coated bolts and nails and secured to your basework. | |
| 4. After the panels, the roof is fitted, the trusses are mounted on the dividing walls, fascia ridges furnish additional rafters as required are fixed prior to the tile battens which the lightweight tiling is secured to. | |
| 5. The roof tiling complete, the building is then dry to the elements ready for the doors, windows, internal linings to be fitted. | |
| 6. Doors are fitted using high quality ironmongery which is all galvanised. | |
|
7. Windows are six blade louvres, which open in 2 sections for better control of ventilation, louvres are perspex for safety |
