Tiny Tack Room Help/Ideas.

[Mix26]

Hello guys,

My partner and I have finally been lucky enough to be able to buy a house with land so we now have our horses at home!

We have about 4 acres in total with a block of 2 stables with tack/feed room, combined.

I am struggling for storage ideas, and the best way to make use of my room. It is long and thin, about 5ft wide and 14ft long with two saddle racks and one rug rack at present. With ametal feed beein jammed in at one end.

We have a hay loft area above currently storing all my 'not used every day junk' and hay I keep outside under a tarp........ Thinking of buying a garden shed or possibly a shipping container to give me an extra area.....

Any ideas gratefully appreciated!!!

I have a tack room similar in size to yours.

The best thing I ever did was move the feed to a different location (the hay store) when everything was all in one room the dust was unbelievable and everything seemed grimey plus it attracted vermin

I've arranged the room so there is a cupboard (as yet without doors) right across the end of the room, it's about 28 inches deep and has shelves and hooks with storage boxes and a trunk on the floor. It's about 5.5ft high so the top is effectively a wide shelf for storage boxes

Down one side of the room are hooks for rugs to be hung and down the other long side are a couple of shallow shelving units.

Pushing everything to the cupboard at one end gives me a lot more room to move around and clean tack

Previously I had hooks down one side, shelving units and feed bins down the other and it made the room really narrow
