Not all horses like being in a stable; however, it is necessary for a horse stall to be designed as comfortable for the horse as possible. At minimum, a stall should be 4-5 feet wide and 8 feet long; the horse needs room to lay down and sleep comfortably. There are 10×10 and 12×12 stalls that give more room for bigger horses.

Factors to consider while building a stable:

Cleanliness and Hygiene:

One aspect of the stable is maintaining the cleanliness of all the stalls. Installing a wash stall with the correct drainage can help clean horses before bringing them back into their stalls to sleep.

“On average, a horse produces 0.5 ounces of feces and 0.3 fluid ounces of urine per pound of body weight daily. So, a 1,000-pound horse produces about 31 pounds of feces and 2.4 gallons of urine daily.”

Comfort and Safety:

Another essential factor to consider is the comfort and safety of your horses. By considering Vinyl Panels, you can be assured of complete safety from bacterial infestation and mold growth. These panels are FDA-compliant and safe for the animals as they do not pose any health risks. Moreover, they have an anti-bacterial coating that eliminates the risk of mold formation and fungal growth. 

Besides, the smooth and seamless surface of the panels offers a comfortable space for the horses. Their crevice-free surface eliminates the scope of germs and dirt accumulation, so they are easy to clean and maintain. 

Impact Resistant:

Stable interiors are exposed to frequent kicks and high impacts from the horses that could damage the interiors and form cracks and crevices. However, Vinyl Panels are exceptionally durable and sturdy and can resist impacts for a long time. They do not crack, break, or form crevices and keep performing for decades without losing functionality. Their durability also eliminates the need for frequent repairs and replacements. 

Why choose Vinyl Panels?

The stable must be constantly cleaned to maintain a safe and hygienic space. The wall and ceiling material should be smooth surface, water-resistant, and easy to clean. Vinyl panels are perfect for this because they were innovated for high moisture and high sanitary standards. For a free quote or sample, visit the website today!

Duramax Vinyl Panels for your horse stables!

Duramax vinyl panels are unique as they are completely water-resistant and seamless. This means there is no chance for water, dirt, or bacteria to penetrate crevices and build up. Other wall materials have porous surfaces or gaps that can lead to nasty stains or even rot.

Another benefit of vinyl panels is that they are easy to clean. A seamless surface means that washing can be done with a high-powered hose. Other materials without smooth surfaces are harder to clean and will take longer. This can be time-consuming when dealing with large animals, and any material that makes it easier will benefit.

In the image shown, Duramax is being used as the ceiling panels. Vinyl panels are white and highly light-reflective. Installing some barn stall windows to let in natural light would be efficient. Not only do windows provide additional sunlight, but they can also be used as good ventilation. Horses need proper ventilation to cool down. Typically, overhead fans are installed above them, but windows can provide additional airflow for energy efficiency.

A good tip is to store hay in a separate building. Fires are common in barns and stables, and hay can cause the fire to spread a lot faster. Duramax vinyl panels also have a class A fire rating with a 1-hour fire grade, but it is still safer to keep the storage of hay away from horses.  Duramax vinyl panels meet FDA requirements for food, agriculture, and animals.

Final Word

It is always best to think long-term for your horse stable. If you have 3 horses currently, you should build out extra stalls for when you get additional horses. Vinyl panels are great because of their long lifespan. Without rot, termites, peeling, rust, or mold, vinyl panels usually outlast most materials. And the best part is that Duramax offers a lifetime warranty based on the quality of their panels.
