Tack rooms

Dry, secure tack. Every season.

Saddles and bridles are worth thousands, and timber tack rooms are easy to break into and hard to keep dry. Our container tack rooms are steel-secure, insulated against condensation and fitted out for the yard. They're built in Thirsk and delivered across the UK. Prices start from £12,000.

  • Insulated for year-round use as standard
  • Designed & built in Thirsk, North Yorkshire
  • Delivered across the UK

What's included as standard

  • Insulation and interior cladding to stop condensation and keep leather in good condition
  • LVT flooring that's easy to sweep out
  • A security door
  • Shelving, wall hooks and 5 sockets

Optional extras: spray foam insulation, AC and heating to dry rugs and keep tack mould-free, a sink, and composite decking. See our Tack Room model.

Built for yards of every size

  • Private yards: a 10ft or 20ft tack room for one to four horses.
  • Livery yards: lockable sections so each livery has their own space.
  • Riding schools and equestrian centres: combined tack, feed and rug rooms, with an office or staff room at one end.

Why condensation matters, and how we stop it

An unlined steel container sweats when warm, damp air meets cold walls, and that leads to mould on saddles and rugs. We insulate and line every tack room so the inside surface stays warm. You can also add heating to keep the air dry. Keeping wet rugs out, or drying them with heating, makes a big difference too.

Security

A container has no timber walls to cut through and no roof tiles to lift. Add a security door, a lock box and an alarm point, and you have one of the hardest outbuildings on the yard to break into. Check what your insurer asks for, as some specify a minimum lock standard.

Planning and placement

On agricultural or equestrian land, the rules depend on how the land is used. We'll advise on siting, and help with an application if one is needed. See our planning guide and our farm storage containers.

Questions

Good to know

Will my tack go mouldy in a container?

Not in an insulated, lined AdaptABox tack room with good ventilation. Adding heating gives the best protection.

Can you fit saddle and bridle racks?

Yes, we fit them to suit your kit before delivery.

Can it be delivered into a field?

Usually, yes. The crane lorry needs firm access, so we'll check your site at the survey.
