Stable Designing Tips from the Experts in Action Sheds Australia

Respected stable and shed provider discusses how ventilation plays a major role on how efficient a structure will turn out be.
Perth, WA, 16 June 2014 – Action Sheds Australia, a renowned provider of stables, sheds, barns, garages and Durastall stables, has come out with a list of reasons as to why ventilation is quite important when it comes to designing horse stables.

According to the company, horses, as a rule, are encouraged to roam in the outdoors, as this will allow them to enjoy their natural environment and be free.

However, there are certain instances, such as when a horse gets injured or when the weather is less than friendly, that horses are required to stay indoors. Accordingly, this is where having a well-ventilated and properly designed stable comes to good use.

Max Italiano, owner of Action Sheds Australia, discussed that ventilation is a key factor that people must consider for their stables.

Mr Italiano said: “Ventilation and stables should always come hand in hand. Building stables without the needed ventilation exposes horses to dust, ammonia, spores and various airborne contaminants, which may eventually cause them to suffer from respiratory problems and other serious illnesses.”

“Improper ventilation can also cause severe damage to the stable. This may be due to moisture, which can negatively affect the components of the structure. In effect, ventilation is not only important for the health of horses, but it can also have a significant impact on one’s finances as well,” he said.

Here are some tips on how to combine effective ventilation and shed designs, as provided by Mr Italiano:

Utilise Methods to Optimise and Encourage Natural Airflow


People can install windows and doors with the appropriate sizes, in order to let natural air flow in and out.

Roof vents, ventilation chimneys and ducts can be quite useful during the cold and rainy season. Warmer air rises during cold weather, and using vents located at the top of the structure can help air escape, subsequently optimising temperature levels and improving the air quality and airflow in the structure.

Ventilation Systems for Increased Efficiency

Using ventilation systems can also be a good idea. This includes the use of specialised duct-work throughout the structure, as well as blower fans, motorised vents and other special ventilation equipment.

Through the proper ventilation systems, a structure will be able to optimise natural airflow. This can bring greater comfort and convenience for horses, and may also help improve their health and fitness.

Ventilation, Safety and Comfort Should Go Together

Remember that the main purpose of stables is to provide horses with an area where they can be safe and comfortable at the same time.

In order to build stables with the needed features, people should take certain details into account.

They should have an idea as to the type of weather that their future stable will be constantly exposed to, the specific location where they’ll build the structure on, the uses for their stable and many other details. Accordingly, this will not only lead to a better-ventilated stable, but a structure that can actually provide for one’s needs as well.
