Stuck between going custom or doing it yourself?
We get it, building a stable feels like a big decision. But you don’t need to pour six months into design meetings or chase tradies to get a strong, safe space for your horses
But not all kits are created equal, and not all custom builds are worth the time or the budget blowout.
Modular DIY vs Custom Builds: What You Really Get
We designed our modular stable kits with one clear goal: make it simple to build a stable that’s tough enough for Aussie horses, practical for real rural properties, and easy enough to install on a weekend.
| Feature | Traditional Custom Stable | Guerilla Steel DIY Modular Kit |
|---|---|---|
| Build Timeline | Months of planning and build time | 2, 4 weeks delivery, 1-day install |
| Installation | Requires multiple trades and custom builders | DIY with a mate + drill, or local installer |
| Cost Clarity | Add-ons and variations drive up costs fast | Transparent pricing, gates & roof included |
| Scalability | Each addition requires new custom work | Modular by design, add more bays later |
| Structure | Depends on builder, may use lighter frames | Fully welded RHS steel, 2.4m tall |
| Ventilation | Depends on design specs and roof pitch | Mesh tops, extra height = better airflow |
| Owner Input | High involvement, complex decisions | Full control, simple guidance |
Why Our Stable Kits Just Make Sense
You don’t have to trade toughness for price. Our flatpack stable kits are built like a custom job, minus the stress, delays, and mystery costs. Just rock-solid Aussie-made gear, ready to bolt together. Every base kit comes with pre-welded steel panels, solid ply kickboards, and a 2.4m roof height. It’s the perfect middle ground for horse owners who want peace of mind and total control.

Built for Easy Delivery & Pick-Up
One of the biggest wins with our new 2.4m high stable kits? They fit. That means no oversize loads, no special transport permits, and no blown-out freight bills.
Whether you’re getting your kit delivered across the state or hiring a flatbed trailer and picking it up yourself from our QLD workshop, it’s all doable, simple, and surprisingly fast. The modular sections are designed for safe loading, transport, and handling on site without needing a crane or full crew.
Less hassle. More control. And your stables, where you want them, sooner.
Shelters Made to Fit Your Life (and Your Land)
We’ve seen clients from Beaudesert to the Scenic Rim build their own shelters in a weekend with just a mate and a cordless drill. These stables are ideal for anyone with:
- A growing herd and no time to wait for a custom build
- An old shed they want to convert into a safe stall setup
- A single horse or two, but future plans to expand
- A tight budget, but high standards for safety and durability
If that sounds like you, you’re exactly who we had in mind when we designed our modular stable kits. They’re made to flex with your plans, fit your land, and take the hard work out of getting your horses under cover fast.
From One Horse to a Herd – A win for Modular Kits
You skip the paperwork, the people managing, and the guesswork. No chasing quotes from tradies, no trying to figure out if your slab’s strong enough, and definitely no sacrificing comfort or safety. You get a stable that’s already thought through, from airflow to fixings, without the usual build headaches.
- No dealing with engineers or architects
- No project managing a custom crew
- No second-guessing dimensions or materials
- No compromise on airflow, safety, or finish
Even if you’re after a no-fuss starter bay or maybe dreaming of a larger setup down the track, our base model modular kits are ready to go. Check out our 3 kit model sizes below.
