Installation
Kits are built to assemble on your property. Installation is not included with the order. You can put it up yourself or hire a local contractor.
How the kits go together
Panels pin or clamp to each other. There is no welding on site and no need to hire a welder for a standard pen or stall kit. Most customers put a round pen or stall kit up themselves with a second person, a tape, and a rubber mallet.
Roofed kits add purlins and roof sheet. Those fasten with the hardware that ships with the kit, usually self-tapping screws. Walk the site and mark the layout before anything comes off the trailer. An uneven grade is what makes gates bind later.
If you want it set for you
Installation is not included with the kit today. Hire a local contractor if you do not want to put it up yourself. We can answer questions about the kit. We are not responsible for contractor work, permits, or local code.
If we add a crew later, it will be quoted with the order the same way freight is: a separate line, after we know the product and the site. Until then, send a layout if you want a second look before you order.
What needs concrete
Freestanding pens and stall kits stay up because they are pinned and heavy. Roofed structures and hitching posts take wind, snow, or a pulling load, so those posts set in concrete.

Your responsibility
Confirm dimensions, grade, drainage, and any permit your county wants before you order. We are not liable for a layout that does not fit the ground, a gate that binds on a slope, or a structure set without the footings above.
Questions before you order?
