As we are edging closer to spring, many horse owners are looking at adding new horse stalls to their barns. The question becomes what is the best type for my needs?
Horse stalls are available in 2 main styles in terms of construction: Modular and Support Post.
A Modular Horse Stall is a pre-fabricated stall front or wall that is bracketed together and needs no support posts set into the floor to be installed. Modular horse stalls can normally be installed in 1/4 of the time compared to a support post style of stall. Modulars have the advantage of being able to be moved easily and sections or walls can be added or removed for converting the stalls into a foaling stall easily. People who own open-span or pole barns favor the modular stalls because they do not need support posts to get their strength. Modular stalls CAN be attached to existing support posts if they are already in place.
Support post style of stall construction is much less expensive than modular, but this savings is off-set by the amount of wood and labor needed to build the stalls. Support Post style of stalls DO require posts to be set into the floor. The stall grills and wood are attached to these posts to provide the strength for the stall front and walls.
