Horse Stables Sheds & Shelters - Customized to your requirements

Q: What size stable do I need for horses?

The size of a stable depends on how many horses you have and their size. Each horse needs enough room to move safely and comfortably, along with a practical layout that allows for access and additional space for storage.

Q: What features should a horse stable include?

Horse stables can include features such as individual stalls, tack rooms, feed storage, wash bays, hose gantries and good ventilation. The right setup depends on how the stable will be used and the level of functionality required.

Horse Stables Designed for NZ Conditions

We have designed and built a wide range of horse stables across New Zealand. One example is a 12m x 16m American barn in Karaka, featuring three separate stalls, an office, a tack room, and a feed storage area.

A well-designed horse stable makes a big difference to daily use. Most customers already have a layout in mind, so we work closely with you to refine the design, improve functionality, and ensure your stables suit your site and long-term needs.

Your horse stables can be customized with practical features to suit how you operate:

Wash down bay
Hose gantry
Tack room
Feed room
Hot water setup
Nib walls
Stalls and partitions
Saddle racks
Space for horse float storage

What Affects the Cost of Horse Stables?

Horse stables vary a lot in price depending on how they are set up. The biggest cost factors usually come down to the size of the building itself and the quantity, size and the type of stalls or pens that are installed. A simple run-in style shelter or basic stable block is far more cost-effective than a fully enclosed American barn with multiple rooms lined walls to hang your equine tools and equipment and saddles.

Extras like tack rooms, feed storage, wash bays, and internal partitions all add to the overall build. concrete or compacted metal floors require fall sometimes drainage and rubber mats are install the options are endless.

Most projects we work on are tailored to how the stables will actually work, so pricing is influenced a lot on your layout rather than a standard package.

Photos and Details of our system

The average shed company designs buildings based on standard measurements simply rounded to the meter, then builders trim the excess cladding to suit. We do it way better – we base each dimension on the total cover of the cladding sheets

Why?

A wall 12.3 m wide instead of 12.0 m really makes a difference. Everything lines up, flashings fit properly, reducing waste and saving time.

Their sponsorship of our production of The Places You’ll Go made a huge difference and helped bring this show to life for our community.

It’s fantastic to see a local business not only supporting the arts financially but also getting involved in community events and backing creative opportunities for young performers. Their generosity, encouragement, and belief in what we do has been amazing.

Thank you, Kitset Sheds Limited, for investing in the arts and helping make performing opportunities possible for our community. Your support truly means a lot!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Paul Wiiliams always had a smiling face with great work ethic.  Our 10 year old shed has doubled in value.  We now live in the legal cottage attached to the garaging. But previously it was rented out. Best thing we ever did.

Everything arrived as expected and was well organized, the kit arrived clearly labeled, and easy to work with, making the building process efficient and hassle free.

The finished shed is solid, practical and exactly what the client was after. Meraki Builders completed the installation and construction of the shed and the quality of the shed made it straightforward to achieve a great final result.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I built a kitset shed in 2025 (4 bays, 16.25m x 8.9m) and it was a total blast! The kit instructions were excellent, and anything I didn't fully understand I was able to phone Paul and get the answer quickly. The shed is now complete and being set up as an engineering workshop. I can't wait to get some projects going. I highly recommend Kitset Sheds Ltd and owner Paul Williams (no relation to me) for their helpfulness, excellent communication, speedy delivery, excellent product and overall ease to deal with.
