Tools You Need (Spoiler: You Probably Already Have Them)
Don’t worry, you won’t need a trailer full of tradie gear to build your stable. Most of what you need is already in your shed or garage. Here’s the basic kit:
- Cordless drill with socket bits – for fastening panels and roof sections.
- Level and tape measure – to make sure everything lines up square and straight.
- Socket wrench – for tightening up fixings and securing joins.
- Gloves, boots, and a ladder – safety first, especially when working at height for roof install.
That’s it. If you’ve got a mate and half a day free, you’re well on your way to a finished stable. No special tools, no welding, no hassle.
Site Prep Checklist
Site prep might not be glamorous, but it’s the foundation of a long-lasting stable. A properly prepared base keeps your structure level, improves drainage, speeds up install, and prevents costly issues like shifting, sagging, or pooling water.
Whether you’re building on grass, gravel, or concrete, investing in compact, well-drained ground upfront ensures your stable stays strong, safe, and functional for years. It’s 30% of the job, but solves 90% of future problems. If you want, check out the full site preparation and planning guide get the downloadable Site Prep Checklist belwo. Otherwise, Here are the need to know basics,
- Firm, level ground (road base, grass, or concrete slab)
- Good drainage (avoid pooling)
- Optional but highly recommended anchors for extra wind protection

DIY Install Project success stories
“We built our 5m x 4m kit in a single day. Everything lined up, no time wasted chasing bolts. Two of us, a drill, and a couple of mats. The horses were in by sundown.”,
One of our QLD clients ordered a Large 5m x 4m flat pack kit for their paddock. Two mates with a drill, some rubber mats, and a slab knocked it up in a day. They said the best part was the way everything lined up. No mucking about with bolts. No chasing parts. Just solid welds, aligned panels, and a horse stall ready for use before sundown.

Frequently Asked Questions – Stable Installation Guide
What tools and skills do I need for a DIY stable install?
Most of what you need is already in your shed. A cordless drill, socket set, level, ladder, gloves, and a mate are enough. No welding or advanced carpentry needed …just follow the guide and bolt it together. For extra help, we offer phone support on build day.
How long does a typical DIY install take?
A 1 or 2 bay setup can be installed in a day by two people. Larger multi-bay stables may take a weekend. Our flat-pack kits come pre-welded and labelled for a no-fuss build, and every part is designed to align correctly the first time.
Do I need a concrete slab for my stable base?
Not necessarily. Many stables go up perfectly on compacted road base or crusher dust. A slab is great for high-traffic zones, but what matters most is drainage and a level site. We’ll help you choose the best option for your property and climate.
Arent DIY Flatpack kits flimsy and unreliable?
Some are, but not ours. Unlike lightweight, bolt-together kits, our stables are fully welded from 50×50 mm RHS galvanised steel. They come with proper 2.5m height for airflow and comfort, mesh tops for ventilation, and all gates and fixings included. You won’t be chasing extras or patching repairs six months later.
Can I expand later or retrofit into an existing shed?
Absolutely. The modular design means you can start with one or two bays, then add tack rooms, feed bays, or more stalls over time. Have a shed? We can retrofit our welded panels directly inside for a quick, cost-effective stable conversion.
Build Smart. Build Strong. Build it Yourself.
If you got this far you are prepared to go for a do-it-yourself horse stable. Whether it’s one bay or four, our DIY kits give you everything you need to build your horse stable right, the first time.
