Too flat and urine pools; too steep and it strains legs and wheeled traffic.<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n \n How do I stop urine pooling under rubber mats?<\/h3>\nGive urine an exit before you lay mats: row-level fall first, then a flooring system designed to move liquid out. Fit heavy-duty anti-slip mats with tight seams so urine stays on the surface where daily removal happens.<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n \n Can drainage be added to an existing stable block?<\/h3>\nYes, but at retrofit prices. Cutting channels into cured concrete means closed stalls, dust, and rework around finished steelwork. Planning the same drainage before construction costs a set of engineer hours at design stage.<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n \n What does DB HorseStable configure for wet-climate projects?<\/h3>\nUK and New Zealand projects are specified for high drainage with BHS-aligned design, on hot-dip galvanized steel frames with 20-year anti-rust performance. The minimum order is 10 stables, with tiered discounts of 5\u201315% and a dedicated account manager above 20 units.<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n |
