7 Things to Look for When Purchasing Horse Stall Equipment

April 16, 2019

Clients all over North America request American Stalls for specific reasons.

Many request our company because we maintain the highest standards in horse stall industry because of our commitment to safety, durability, and aesthetics.

Sure, you can find a cheaper product in your local neighborhood. However, you will only find one company that holds a true commitment to building premium horse stall equipment – whether it's custom European horse stalls or portable, expo horse stalls.

Our stall equipment blends fashionable aesthetics, true functionality, and safe product design all in one package at a fair price.

Fifteen years later, our team has amassed invaluable experience. Below are a few things to look for when working with a reputable horse stall equipment manufacturer.

1.HEAVY-GAUGE STEEL PARTS
At a minimum, a reputable horse stall manufacturer will use 14GA galvanized steel for the stall's frame. They will then use either 16GA galvanized steel for the portable stall's interior bars and 14GA galvanized steel for permanent horse stall interior bars.

2. NO EXPOSED SHARP EDGES
Our manufacturing process includes multiple stages in which all steel components are carefully welded, grounded, and polished to get rid of any potential sharp edges.

3. SMOOTHLY GROUNDED AND THOROUGHLY WELDED JOINTS
Similar to criteria #2, our craftsman ensure all joints are smoothly grounded to allow for seamless welds.

Beware of companies that engage in "pinch welding" instead of seamless MIG welding. Learn more in our American Stalls vs. Competition guide below.

4. SMOOTH, CONSISTENT FINISHES
All of our stall equipment – horse stalls, roofing, stall gates – utilizes pre-galvanized steel tubing from our trusted partners. At customer request, our team then finishes the treated pre-galvanized steel with a smooth, consistent finish.
