The first step in building your Equus Stall is to decide on the finished size you desire, which determines the lumber lengths.

Any size stall can be built using the Equus System.

1. Corner post can be set 10' or 12' (or any other spacing as desired) on center to fit building design or special needs. Equus grill work channels will have to be cut to fit space
between post if this system is used.

2. Preferred option is to set the face to face dimension between 44 (nominal 3 1/2" x 3 1/2") post an even two foot spacing plus 1/2" to use the Equus grill system without cutting.

The following specifications cover the lumber required for each Equus wall model using the preferred size system above Lumber listed is for 12' side walls Should your needs be different, change the lumber lengths accordingly. Treated lumber and dimensional lumber measuring no more than 1 1/2" thick is recommended.
