Breezewood Stall Door & Stall Front Panels

An inexpensive way to provide additional ventilation to your horse stalls while obtaining a fresh new interior look!

Armour’s newest innovation, Breezewood ventilated lumber panels in sliding doors, half gates, OR a whole designer stall front, are now available! The 1-1/2” thick Panels can be ordered in a variety of uniquely made patterns: The Circular, XL, The Gem, or The Baton. Breezewood panels can be custom made in accordance with your own design or size requirements. The panels can be painted or stained to match your decor, and can also be ordered with a solid back panel if ventilation is not necessary.

The Circular’s bold round design is a departure from the traditional straight line approach found on most barns or stables providing ample ventilation for the stall door or stall front designated.

The XL is a modern replicate of our Traditional Crossbuck design taken a step higher. This design is in keeping with the tried and true pattern of old but additionally provides greater ventilation to the stall area as is always appreciated by the occupants.

A Gem or diamond theme is created by the unique placements of our finished openings for this attractive door front and is carried out equally on all four sides. Airflow is maximized as is evidenced by the length of openings as well as their twenty eight separate locations.

Our Baton Panel is produced conservatism in mind since it blends nicely with the vertical picket placements of our sliding doors and stall grilles and does not overpower the frontage. A touch of class with major increased airflow benefits .

Armour’s Breezewood Sliding Stall Doors have 1” round tubes and 1/8” non-rusting aluminum framing which is welded to form a strong and unmarred appearance. Doors are reinforced with an extra length of square tubing down each side for added rigidity and strength. All doors arrive assembled with no rattling pieces, with the best 8’0” round track, heavy duty ball-bearing trolleys, aluminum stops, sliding-bolt latch, and heavy-duty adjustable stay-roller, and fasteners for lumber installations. Any of the new Breezewood designs include the hardware necessary for installation, click here for pricing and ordering.

The new Breezewood Half Gates are the same unique lumber panels, your choice of The Gem, Circular, XL or Baton, wrapped on all four exterior sides with non rusting aluminum trim. The interior stall gate, assembled with hinges, latch and fasteners for lumber installation is available now at Armour Companies.
