What the foundation needs to do
Tack rooms are lighter than stable boxes but are more sensitive to damp. Saddles, bridles and stored textiles benefit from a floor construction that remains dry and can be secured properly at wall and door lines.
We install standalone or stable-linked foundations, coordinating concrete, damp protection, wall plinths and service routes with the room supplier.
Options, assessed properly
Suitable foundation methods
The methods below are possibilities to assess—not interchangeable specifications. We match the foundation to the product, loads, support points, ground and access.
Ground screws
Ground screws and support frame
Ground screws and an insulated support frame can suit a standalone timber room where the supplier accepts a suspended floor.
Often worth considering for: Standalone rooms on uneven sites or away from washdown yards
Installed screws from £1,180 for 8' × 6' (48 ft² / 4.46 m²); frame quoted separately
Timber frame
Raised timber frame
A treated raised frame can create a ventilated floor for a lightweight tack store when security and moisture details are resolved.
Often worth considering for: Small private tack rooms with a framed floor
From £840 for 8' × 6' (48 ft² / 4.46 m²)

Before installation
Dimensions, approvals and responsibilities
If the tack room is part of a stable block, use the stable supplier's combined base plan so floor and wall levels match.
Heating and electrical services should be specified for the equestrian environment by competent installers.
JustBases quotes the agreed foundation and groundwork. Product installation, specialist connections, commissioning and third-party design remain outside our scope unless the written quotation expressly includes them.

"Good standard of workmanship. Friendly and efficient. Prompt response for estimate and fitted into our timescale. Will be using the firm in future and thoroughly recommend them."
"Craig and his team were very professional throughout the job. They worked tirelessly and extremely hard. The job involved digging up a thick reinforced concrete base. Then creating a whole new base with precision engineering in preparation to accept a new building on top. The result was an excellent job all round."

A DPM is commonly considered beneath a concrete floor, but the complete floor and wall design should be agreed with the room supplier.
