In daily horse farm construction and horse management, horse paddock doors seem to be ordinary facilities, but they take into account the safety protection of horses and the management efficiency of horse farm owners. Therefore, a good quality stable fence door can not only meet our daily needs, but also improve the practicality and aesthetics of the horse farm. Regarding the confusion that horse farm owners encounter in daily life, such as how to choose a high-quality and practical barn fence door? From which aspects can we judge which barn paddock door to choose, etc., we hope that this article can solve your questions.
Of course, safety must be the first priority. This is not only related to the safety of horses, but also to the safety of breeders. Horses are sensitive by nature. If a door has rough and sharp edges, loose accessories or insufficient structure, it is easy to cause horses to be scratched, hit or even escape from the stable. In order to avoid these situations, first of all, the appearance of the stable fence door needs a smooth surface, preferably with rounded corners or edging design to prevent scratches on horses and people.
Secondly, a strong locking system is required to prevent horses from accidentally opening the door and escaping.
In addition, the wooden boards and frames used should be stable and strong, able to withstand the impact of horses, ensuring long-term safe and reliable use.
Since horse fence doors are generally installed outdoors, they will be exposed to sunlight, rain, wind and snow and other climatic conditions for a long time. Both stables and stable fence doors should be weather-resistant and durable. Weather resistance and durability affect the operating costs of managing the horse farm. If the weather resistance and durability are poor, it also means that irregular maintenance or replacement is required, which will greatly increase costs and reduce efficiency. Therefore, the choice of materials is very important.
Hot-dip galvanized steel: strong anti-rust ability, suitable for humid or rainy areas
Aluminum alloy material: light, not easy to rust, easy to operate and transport
PVC wrapped metal pipe: soft touch, beautiful appearance
Anti-corrosion wood: natural and beautiful, but requires regular maintenance.
