Stables - Chester Range

Built to our highest specification; incorporating safety, strength and durability.

Our flagship Chester Range of stables offers all the refinements you would expect in a prestigious building, including: generous 2.4m (8’) eaves height, 2.23m (7’4”) door height and extensive anti-chew stripping to all door frames. In addition, all canopies are plywood lined enhancing the look and finish of these spectacular buildings.


These top of the range stables are packed with features and extra options such as 6-bladed louvered windows with security bars. These can be adjusted from the exterior of the building to encourage the free flow of fresh air throughout the building.
