Instructions
Find a flat, high area of pasture for the single horse stall. Make sure the area doesn't flood, so water doesn't sit inside the stall, creating a mud-hole.
Measure for the stall using a measuring tape. A single horse stall should be at least 12 feet x 12 feet in size.
Dig four holes in each corner for the corner posts. Set the corner posts in the ground and fill the area around them with cement and water. Allow the cement to dry overnight before continuing with building the stall.
Build a frame around the top of the four corner posts by nailing a board from each corner post to the other, making a square.
Nail four boards, three feet apart and parallel with the front of the stall, between the two boards on each side of the top frame. Nail tin across these boards to make the roof of the stall.
Put up the frame for a wide doorway for the gate of the stall. Put up additional brace boards around the other sides of the stall.
Place the wood siding or plywood around the sides of the stall and nail them to the brace boards. This will close in the stall except for the gate, which can be left off or added later.
