Stable Specifications - Ideal & Elite Range
Delivery & Construction
We are pleased to offer Free Delivery and Construction within a 50mile radius of our workshop in Netherstreet, Chippenham, Wiltshire. All Stable construction is carried out by our fully trained staff rather than subcontractors. All wooden stable sections bolted together for added strength.
Fixing to base
Two heavy duty anchor brackets are fitted to the uprights of each 3.6m wall. These are then bolted to the stable base using 10mm x 65mm mechanical fixings.

Treatment.
All internal and external timber is pressure treated with Tanalith E™ wood preservative for longevity against fungal decay & insect attack. Not including boards.
Framework
Ideal Range Stables 75mm x 50mm C16/C24 strength graded @ 610mm centres.
Elite Range Stables 100mm x 50mm C16/C24 strength graded @ 610mm centres.
Please note that many other stable manufacturers choose the smaller dimensioned 75mm x 50mm CLS (Canadian Lumber Standard), which is only 63mm x 38mm. As wood is a natural product, thicker means stronger, and therefore your building will last longer with a thicker frame.
