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.

Real Experiences with American Stalls

Dixon, MO


“The sales and shipping process was very easy! I actually reached out to the American Stalls team via Facebook to inquire about shipping times and they were very fast in their response and made sure my gates were sent out the next day. The product is high quality from the very start and has held up over time as well. When I first installed full size gates in my modest two stall barn, it instantly elevated the look of the stalls from a homemade project to professional job. The gates LOOK expensive. I was looking for a gate that was safe, well ventilated, and had a yoke for my horses’ heads to hang over. The full size gate ticked all the boxes. I love the construction, feel, and shine of the powdered coated steel, and they clean up so easily too! I couldn’t be happier with my gate choice.

The customer support also delivered high-quality service. They were very responsive both before and after the delivery. I had questions regarding shipping times before purchase and I received responses within 24 hours that put my mind at ease. They even worked with me to expedite my shipping in order to meet my desired timeframe. After delivery I received a lovely note in the mail thanking me for my patronage – a sweet touch that made me feel very valued!

I would recommenced American Stalls without a doubt! My AS stall fronts are beautifully constructed and always received compliments. I’m always sure to tell them where they came from and how much I love them! Every barn should have such high quality materials!

“We’ve been buying the Show Series portable stalls from American Stalls each year from the past four years. We’ve expanded our polo operations here in The Plains, VA and have needed more and more high-quality portable horse stalls. Our oldest stalls from American Stalls still hold up great even after years of usage. The newest portable stalls are (bought in May 2020) are especially well done and reveal a very high end product — including their welds, powder coat finish, and other key details. The newest stalls show American Stalls’ heavy investment in their commitment to their product quality. Thank you for a great product and a great customer experience!” – David McClung

Another happy horse (Phil) with his new American Stall half-sized stall gate here at Templar Farm LLC… Phil loves his stall guard. It is beautiful… These gates are very easy to install and only takes about 5-10 mins.”

Dear American Stalls staff, thank you so much for a quick and uncomplicated handling of our two orders of stalls! Shipping was fast and the product arrived at our property in promised high-quality condition. The entire Passion for Polo team and the horses are enjoying the stalls! Keep up the awesome work, American Stalls.

As the owner of a large miniature horse sanctuary, we are often finding our needs to be met, somewhat challenged. Most equine operations gear towards full-sized horses. We then have to either adapt products or have them customized to fit our needs. However, when we found ourselves in need of a quarantine stall with relatively little advance notice, American Stalls not only fit the bill, but came through with flying colors.
The turnaround time to receive our order was super quick.

During the sales process, American Stalls made the decision-making process very easy and guided us with great information every step of the way. We love the look of the stalls and the high-quality materials. For portable stalls, they surprised us by how sturdy they are and we expect to use them for years to come. Overall, the team at American Stalls delivered superior customer support. We loved meeting Yash in-person even as he traveled through the Midwest and we were proud to show him our new facility. Lastly, I absolutely recommend American Stalls to any equestrian facility who cares about quality and professionalism. We couldn’t be happier with our decision to purchase our stalls from them.

Holland, MI

Our new Elite Series miniature horse portable stall is everything we had hoped it would be and more! Safe, secure, and stylish it is extremely easy to move and assemble- genius, really! No tools required, no small parts to get lost in the shuffle… We chose to have two yoked gates so that the children and seniors we visit off-site can access the minis from both sides of the stall. We have high standards to follow…and your American Stalls’ portable miniature unit earns blue ribbons all around.

We just set up our new stalls for our 4-H Horse Camp and the kids and parents all loved them. They were very excited about the bars allowing for plenty of airflow as our old portable stalls were solid all the way to the top. The new stalls went together easier too! The presenters at the horse camp were so impressed they asked where we got the stalls from and are thinking about purchasing some of their own.

Working with American Stalls was a pleasure. The representatives were extremely cordial and responsive and attentive to our needs. They assisted us with all aspects of the transaction both professionally and thoroughly. Any inquiries made were met with a more than timely response.
The portable stalls assemble quickly, go together easily and have withstood a full year of shows with no visible wear and tear, a true testament to their durability. The stalls are both attractive and durable as has been proven by the number of horses that have been in and out of the stalls. Their website contains loads of pictures, and the information is very representative of the product; a good quality product with good customer service.

Thank you for your help finding the right gates for our older barns. You sent great sample photos and reassured us the gates are sturdy and well built. The gates arrived well packaged with no damage. The design is excellent and they installed more easily than any other stall gates we’ve had. The quality is excellent and promises years of safe, happy horses. Thank you!
