FAQs

What groundworks do I need for a Loddon Barn?

What groundworks do I need for a Loddon Barn?

We recommend a concrete pad for our Loddon Barn Groundworks. It must be sealed 1ft (305mm) in from the edge of the concrete base. This 1ft area must have a smooth, level finish to ensure a watertight seal when the Loddon Barn is erected. Minimum thickness for the concrete base is to be no less than 6″ (155mm)

When purchasing a Loddon Barn from ourselves we do also supply technical groundwork drawings, we can also quote for your groundworks or can recommend a company that would be able to help.

What are the roof options on your Loddon Barn?

What are the roof options on your Loddon Barn?

Our Loddon Barn, Back-to-back Barn and External Stables come with a choice of 3 roof options. The most affordable barn roof is the Polycarbonate Roof. It is made from a translucent material therefore it allows natural light into our Loddon Barn.

We also offer a Steel Profile Barn Roof and a Slate Effect Barn Roof. These options are a more expensive choice but also do look more aesthetically pleasing. We recommend putting Skylights in with these as they are opaque and let no natural light in.

For more information on Polycarbonate. Please click here.

What oil goes in your Horse Walkers?

What oil goes in your Horse Walkers?

 
1 answer
 

Control Box Oil


We recommend a VG-32 grade hydraulic oil with a VI additive, this can be purchased from most Agricultural merchants. This is to be filled using the cap on the top of the control box and can hold up to 25 litres. The gauge on the front of the control box will indicate how much oil is in the tank, for it to run correctly the gauge should show between half way and full.

Blue Bottle Oil


We recommend a heavy engine oil/gear box oil, the thicker the better. When filling the blue bottle you will need about a litre of oil and you will need to let the walker run on a slow speed, so that the oil can flow and lubricate the bearings in the centre. N.B The blue bottle is purely a reservoir and should never appear full. If too much oil is poured you may find an over spill in the centre of the walker.
