A Dorset-based company who make fine huts and cabins have launched their latest offering, a handcrafted tack room on wheels.

The tack room, which has a corrugated tin exterior and measures 2m x 2m, has been cleverly designed by Plankbridge for riders and yard owners.

Inside the Plankridge Tack Room are four metal saddle racks, a high shelf, pegs to hang bridles and other equipment, and bench storage seating for boots and rugs.

The tack room features a window, tongue-and-groove interior panelling which can be painted in a colour of your choice, and a quarry-tiled floor. If you don’t have mains electricity, solar lighting can be added.

A cast-iron electric radiator helps to keep the space warm while the 70mm Thermafleece sheep’s wool insulation helps maintain a consistent temperature and protect tack from damp.

Safe and secure

The solid oak stable door features a traditional mortice lock to ensure your tack and equipment stays secure.

Plankbridge was founded in 2000 by Richard Lee and his partner Jane Dennison and is the only manufacturer of fine huts to be endorsed by the Royal Horticultural Society. 

The company employs a team of master hutmakers, CAD designers, joiners, furniture makers and paint finishers to create huts with a variety of uses at its base in Piddlehinton in Dorset.

‘High quality, simple solution’

“Our 2m x 2m utility hut design has the potential to solve lots of different needs for extra space,” said Richard.

“Delivered on its iron wheels, and hooked up to a basic electric supply, it offers a warm, well-lit secure space to utilise as a tack room.

“Jane grew up with horses, and my relatives used to run a well-known tack room in Dorset, fondly remembered with its evocative smell of leather and saddle soap.

“Delivered on iron wheels, the tack room hut offers a high quality, simple solution to roll into place and use the same day.”

The Plankbridge Tack Room costs £25,200 (incl. VAT). For more information click here.
