EquiTERR Stall Flooring System Stalls with the EquiTERR System have
been in use for nearly thirty years working as well as they did when just
installed. Laid on a bed of coarse gravel and filled with fine limestone
chips, the interlocking honeycomb EquiTERR structure creates a multi layered
drainage system that allows urine to drain from the surface, keeping your
horse dry and clean in his stall. With this rapid drainage system, you will
have less wet bedding to remove and less waste to dispose of. Even if you
don't factor in the time you'll save cleaning stalls, the money you will
save on bedding will pay for the EquiTERR. Unlike stall mats, EquiTERR
becomes a permanent part of your structure, requires no maintenance and will
never need to be replaced.
There is no need to worry about horses damaging the EquiTERR. When
installed on the gravel bed, EquiTERR is capable of withstanding loads up to
100,000 lbs per sq. ft. Your horse can paw or pace in his stall with no
effect on the EquiTERR. Unlike rubber mats, EquiTERR does not distort or
pull up. Since EquiTERR is the component that supports the horse's weight,
the gravel drainage layers are never compacted and, as a result, drain as
well after thirty years of use as they do the first day.
A level stall floor for your horse to stand and lie down on is vital to
your horse's health. EquiTERR is used both in veterinarian clinics and in
stalls for their own horses. Providing good footing for your horse is
important!
Your horse never walks through dirt or lime dust in an EquiTERR stall so
your barn remains relatively dust free. Unlike stall mats, which eventually
separate, curl and harbor bacteria on the underside, EquiTERR remains
permanently level and dry. Once the manure is picked the stall will be odor
free, making spraying for flies generally unnecessary.
The versatility of EquiTERR makes it unique. While it has been primarily
used in interior horse stalls, it is equally well suited for outside stalls.
The EquiTERR structure holds the gravel in place so that rainwater and soil
erosion are never a concern. The permanently level stall floor's efficient
draining system prevents pooling of water and mud.
Although EquiTERR is used primarily in horse stalls, it works equally
well for cattle, llamas, sheep, goats and in dog kennels. |
