Tack room storage ideas

[poiuytrewq]

As you can see, I always always keep the bags I bought my rugs in, so I know what's what.

This confuses me! It looks so immaculate that I assumed it’s in your house? Yet you have a bale of haylage(?) in there as well!
How do you manage to keep it so incredibly neat with forage in there?!

I have separate rug, feed and tack rooms.

In my tack room apart from the obvious saddle racks and bridle hooks I have a fair amount of shelving both fixed and free standing.

I use https://www.homebase.co.uk/mobile-t...lcanic-ash-with-frosted-drawers/12840744.html for boots, bandages and other odds and ends but thinking of replacing them with old metal filing cabinets as the plastic is starting to crack and break.

The best things though are the kettle and dehumidifier

Yep. The roof is corrugated asbestos, slightly leaky and very inclined to drip condensation everywhere. This is spray insulation, as it turned out to be the cheapest way to remedy the situation. The fact that it brightened the entire room was an unexpected bonus but it has also evened out the temperature a lot. Unfortunately I am still trying to deal with the damp, 200-year-old granite walls might as well be sponges... (couldn't board it off for various reasons). But it's no different to the house...

Thank you, sorry, more questions! Did you do this yourself. and do rodents chew it?! Your property sounds lovely...(condensation is a problem in my much more modern house and stables too!)

No, it was a company with a spray van and long hose! I think there is a DIY version though.
So far no wildlife issues but it's been less than 2 years and we have a very active pest control team who think the shelving is a gym...

I'm after building stables for myself and this is how I've my 12x8ft tack room laid out.

I had old Ikea wardrobes that were going to the skip but decided to upcycle. I had to put a stronger backing on them but I found the perfect pieces about to go in the skip! The wardrobes can fit 5/6 saddles which is more than I need! The drawers at the bottom are a great addition too as they fit so much. Then I bought hardwood ply in the local DIY shop and covered it with DC Fix to hopefully keep it somewhat waterproof and attached it to be my countertop and it hasn't collapsed yet I love having the saddle pads hanging as its nice to be able to see them all in front of me.

Then I have one wall of just hanging for all the bits and bobs. It works well and I originally was going to go for a 12x12 stable but I'm surprised as how much space there still is to add more.

I managed to get 2 of these filing cabinets which have shelves in them from a local office for nothing. Worth asking as it actually holds so much stuff!

@QueenBella, I love your setup! What a great idea!

I was about to ask the same! @vhf do you know what type of spray insulation you used, if you'd recommend? I've been looking for something to insulate my corrugated roof, to cut down the condensation for ages! All my solutions were more like air gaps and I was worried I'd end up with water stuck between the layers, but this looks ace!

At a guess it's PU foam.

I spent AGES trying to resolve the situation without removing the concrete asbestos as it was basically sound and would be very expensive to dispose of. This looks and feels like the stuff you get in tubes at building suppliers, but at an industrial level. I used https://protecinsulation.com/spray-foam-insulation/ I think they are a local franchise of a national group but quite likely to be wrong! I do have water ingress in one place when the rain is in the right direction, but I think that's more to do with the rest of the build than the foam. The dripping condensation is completely gone. I'd do it again happily, other than the cost! (But it was still half the cost of removing and replacing with something that didn't drip.)
