Timber Horse Stables; A rustic Elegance
Introduction:
These timeless structures have stood the test of time providing shelter and comfort to equine companions for centuries. Whether you’re a seasoned equestrian or just appreciate the simple charm of a timber building, wooden horse stables offer a unique blend of functionality and aesthetic appeal. This blog will explore the appeal of wooden horse stables and why horse lovers continue to be fond of them.
A little bit of History:
Timber horse stables have a rich history dating back centuries. Timber as a building material for stables can be traced back to ancient civilizations. The craftsmanship of timber stables dates back for centuries and the craftmanship has been passed down through the generations.
Natural Aesthetics:
Wooden stables provide natural aesthetics due to the timber’s earthy tones and grain patterns. In all of our buildings, we use a treated shiplap cladding, which is a 5th Grade Scandinavian redwood. This has been tried and tested by us due to its durability for many years. Provides aesthetically pleasing warm honey tones when first installed.
Customisation and Design:
They offer versatility when it comes to design and customisation. At Hunter Stables we work with you to achieve a building suited to your needs and requirements. We can cut the timber to different lengths to achieve your dream stable or shelter. We then develop this idea into a floor plan, which ensures that we are on the same page about your block.
Durability and Sustainability:
Wooden horse stables are durable when constructed and maintained properly. Treated wood can withstand the elements and provide a haven for horses all year round. The timber we use for our cladding and framework is treated green, this provides protection against anti-rot and fungal decay.
All the timber we use is FSC certified, this is an international certification to promote responsible management of the world’s forests and therefore our timber is responsibly sourced.
Comfort for Horses:
Wooden stables offer great insulation, keeping horses comfortable in weather conditions. The wooden structure regulates the temperature and humidity levels.
Maintenance:
While wooden stables do require treating for water repelling properties and longevity. They are pretty low maintenance and can last for years!
At Hunter Stables we possess a wealth of expertise in timber products due to the fact that our sister company, Hunter Building Supplies, specializes in selling timber. Therefore we know what will be suitable for your shelter, stable or timber workshop.
