Equine Construction
For property owners with horses across Melbourne's outer west and beyond, having the right shelter is not a luxury. It is a responsibility. A well-built horse shelter protects your animals from the worst of Melbourne's weather, whether that is the scorching summer heat, driving rain, or cold winter winds.
We build horse shelters, stables, and paddock fencing using a combination of timber and steel construction. Every structure is designed for durability and practical use. That means kick pads where horses can damage timber, proper ventilation, easy access for mucking out, and materials that handle the wear and tear of daily use on a rural property.
Lucas grew up around horses and understands the specific requirements of equine structures. The design considerations are different from a standard shed or carport. Clearance heights, door widths, bay sizing, and fencing specifications all need to account for the behaviour and size of the animals using them.
Whether you need a simple two-bay field shelter, a full stable block, or post-and-rail paddock fencing, we build it to last. Our structures are designed to be low maintenance, easy to clean, and tough enough to handle whatever your horses throw at them.
