HORSE WASH BAYS

Get a Quote

Either as a stand-alone structure or part of a multi-purpose build, we know what you need to properly care for your horses.

Our horse wash bays are both durable and functional, with the ability to be designed as part of a multi-use facility if needed so that you can create a complete space according to need and budget.

One thing that helps our horse wash bays stand out from the rest if the use of ZAM® – a highly corrosion resistant metal that is designed for spaces where standard metal products just won’t do. Able to stand up to the highly corrosive nature of horses and wet areas, our structural products in ZAM® are the best choice if you’re looking for a durable solution that’s up to the task.

Couple this with our full stables range – shower heads gantry hoses, stable doors and more – and we have the horse wash bay for you.

Let’s find something to suit your needs.
