U-Channel for Horse Stalls

Our U-Channel is a crucial component to build your horse stall fronts and horse stall dividers. U-Channels are used to hold lumber for horse stalls. Each U-Channel is made with heavy-duty 14-GA United States Steel. All U-Channels use galvanized steel and are then finished in a black powder coat finish. Custom powder coat finishes are available including navy blue, hunter green, and slate grey.

FAQ'S

01
What type of lumber can I insert into the u-channel?

We recommend to use a kiln-dried 1-1/2” thick Southern Yellow Pine or Douglas fir with our u-channels. You can also reach out to our team for a quotation on our Southern Yellow Pine lumber that we carry in-stock. All Southern Yellow Pine at American Stalls is construction grade one.

02
I’m building my own horse stalls. Do I need u-channels?

Yes, u-channels are one of the crucial components needed in order to build your own horse stalls. Once you have placed wood posts into place, our u-channel is attached to posts to frame out the rest of your stall fronts and stall partitions. Once u-channel is fixed into place on both wood posts, you are then able to slide in tongue and groove lumber.

03
I’m also going to use your American Stalls grillwork. Do I still need u- channel?

Yes, u-channels are still required if you are using our stall front or stall partition grillwork. The bottom portion of your stall will still be framed and filled using u-channel and lumber.

You will first fasten our U-Channels into your wood or steel posts. You will then slide in boards of lumber into the u-channel. Once the lumber is fixed inside the u-channel, you can then place our grillwork on top of the topmost piece of lumber to finish installation.
