Equestrian Steel Frame Building

overview
Earlier this year Joshua King from Somerford Park Farm in Cheshire contacted us for a quote on a new steel frame building. He required a new equestrian building on site replacing an old stable block. Somerford Park Farm boast word class equestrian facilities on its site in Cheshire, running a wide range of Competition, Camps and Clinics as well as livery and stabling on the 1,000 acre site. The King family established the business in 1976 and have gone from strength to strength.
the outcome
The new building was going to utilise the space of the old building as it was to be repositioned onsite allowing more room for passing horses and traffic around the facilities.
We designed, manufactured, and supplied Josh King with a stable block with a tapered gable end 42m x 12m x 5.5m with a 18m x 6m lean – to – extension. The Equestrian building was designed to allow good airflow throughout the stables and a wide walkway to allow the horses to pass through safely, with two separate stabling areas for Andrew Heffernan’s horses and Dutch team mate Nina.
