Just solid, Australian-made results.

What You Get in a Guerilla Steel Flat Pack Kit

Our flat pack horse stable kits are portable, built tough, and designed for easy assembly. Here’s what comes standard:

• Pre-welded steel frames and roof sections
• 2.5m High ply and mesh wall panels
• Monoclad® roofing sheets with 900 mm overhang
• Hinged stall doors, fixings, and all hardware
• Step-by-step install guides
• Phone support during business hours

Everything lines up as it should. No cutting. No guessing. No wasted time.

Tools and Site Prep You’ll Need

Basic Tools Checklist:

• Cordless drill with socket bits
• Level and measuring tape
• Socket wrench
• Gloves and boots for safety
• Ladder (for roofing sections)

Ground Prep, Consider Before Building:

• Compact and level your site with road base, crusher dust, or well-prepped pasture
• A concrete slab is optional but adds strength for a stable building.
• Make sure the area drains well to prevent water pooling.
• Optional anchor kits available for extra protection on non-concrete sites

How to Build a DIY Horse Stable in a Day

You don’t need a builder’s crew. Just a mat, a drill, and some time.

Step-by-Step Stable Building:

1. Unpack and lay out all parts
2. Position and align the base frames
3. Attach the wall panels (ply and mesh).
4. Fix the corner posts and frame joints
5. Secure the roof trusses and sheets
6. Install stall doors and locking hardware
7. Double-check fixings for safety and durability

That’s it. Most flat pack horse stables can be built in 6 to 8 hours with 2 to 3 people. A 4×4 bay is a practical solution for a horse owner who wants strength without hassle.

Why DIY With Guerilla Steel Beats Big-Box Kits

• Built to fit, not cut-to-size on site
• Fully welded sections, no flimsy bolts
• Extra Tall for airflow and ventilation
• Mesh tops and ply kickboards included
• Hinged stall front and solid stall door hardware
• No imports, no plastic joiners, no compromises
• Real support from people who know equine layouts

It’s also cheaper than hiring a builder, and it feels good to say you built a horse shelter yourself.

Real Story: Flat Pack Horse Stall Done Right

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. Horses and their caretakers were comfortable and safe from day one.

Final Checklist Before You Order

1. Have a level area that drains well?
2. Got basic tools and a mate?
3. Picked your stall size: 4x4m, 5x4m, or 5x5m?
4. Ready to add a tack room or extra bay later?

If so, you are prepared to construct a do-it-yourself horse stable this month.  Check out our Stable Set up Guide with everything you need to consider before getting started.

Build a Horse Stable Without the Hassle

Expand with a breezeway, add a tack room, or upgrade your stall floor with rubber matting. Every kit is made with comfort, safety, and usefulness in mind.

Materials That Last

Our steel horse stables are built from galvanised steel frames and form ply panels, made to handle harsh Australian weather. They are built to withstand rust, corrosion, and decay. We sell compact single stalls and larger multi-bay horse barns with aisles and partitions; every stable is designed for long-term durability. The roof pitch and ventilation help with natural airflow, keeping your horses safe, cool, and comfortable year-round.

Custom Design Options

Every horse owner is different. Some just need one safe stall, while others dream of a full barn with room for training. Our stables let you choose what works now and add more later. You can start small, then add bays, a tack room, or connect to an old shed when you’re ready. We can also make the stalls larger if you have big horses or foaling mares.

What to Consider Before Building

• Drainage and the stall floor to prevent the buildup of urine
• Use a roof pitch for additional storm protection.
• Positioning stalls and sliding doors for easy access
• Placing a partition to improve ventilation and comfort
• The tack room’s location for regular use and The fundamental rule of thumb is to design for both horses and their carers. Comfort and safety should guide your choices.
