What barn products does Armour Horse Stalls make?
Armour Horse Stalls manufactures a variety of aluminum barn components, including horse stall doors, stall fronts, end barn doors, stable shutters, and Barn Art. They also make stalls, dividing stall partitions, Dutch doors, and stall gates. The components help builders and individuals with both newly built barns and renovation projects.
Are Armour barn products sold as kits I have to assemble?
No. Armour products are NOT kits. End barn doors, shutters, horse stall doors, and similar items arrive fully assembled with the necessary hardware and fasteners for lumber installation. Once a product is received, installation is achieved with just 8-16 fasteners.
Why choose aluminum barn products over iron?
Armour builds its stalls and sliding barn doors from aluminum, which outlasts its iron counterpart and has less impact on the environment. The high-quality, non-rusting aluminum is eco-friendly and economical, and it helps illuminate and ventilate a barn structure. Armour believes American products should be quality, eco-friendly, and economical.
How do Armour end barn doors work?
Armour manufactures sliding end barn door frames, two per opening, which can also be connected to make one sliding door panel. The frames are made so you can install your own 2" x 6" tongue and groove lumber once the track is leveled and the frames are hung. A key advantage is that you can replace the lumber if a board starts to look unappealing, plus low shipping cost and easy labor since multi-man crews are unnecessary.
What options come with Armour barn shutters?
Armour's barn shutters and windows arrive completely assembled with hardware and lumber, and all outer lumber edges are surrounded with high-quality non-rusting aluminum channel. When ordering, you can choose the T&G pattern, the Traditional Cross buck "x," or one of the new Barn Art Designs. Logos, horse names, and farm names are also available upon request, and shutters arrive with hinges and latches or a sliding hardware package if desired.
Can Armour barn products be ordered with or without lumber?
Yes. Some Armour barn products are made with or without lumber for those with discriminating taste. This lets you match the look you want and, on items like end barn doors, install or replace the wood yourself. Armour's knowledgeable staff is trained to meet each customer's needs.
Are Armour stall products easy to maintain?
Armour's stall products are made of the highest quality materials to ensure longevity and are easy to maintain. The aluminum construction resists rust and is built to outlast iron. Armour is happy to work with you to get the stall product that works best for your needs.

Where are Armour Horse Stalls made?
Armour manufactures its aluminum horse stall components in DeLand, Florida. The company markets its products under the slogan "Aluminum, NO-RUST Horse Stalls! Made in AMERICA!" and emphasizes domestic production. Fabrication, CNC routing, and assembly all take place at the Florida factory before the finished pieces ship to the customer.
What material are Armour stalls made from, and will they rust?
Every component is built from heavy-duty, rust-resistant aluminum roughly 1/8 inch thick. Because aluminum does not corrode the way steel does, Armour positions its products as a no-rust, low-maintenance option that holds up to barn moisture and ammonia. The aluminum is also recyclable, making it an environmentally friendly choice over its long service life.
What is the Concealed Welding Technique?
Concealed welding is a fabrication method Armour pioneered that tucks the welds inside the joints rather than leaving them exposed on the surface. The result is a clean, smooth face on doors and grills with no protruding weld beads to snag a horse or detract from the look. Bars are fully welded into their frames so they will not rattle or work loose over time.
How precisely can Armour size a stall door or front?
Armour custom-sizes components to the nearest 1/8 inch, so a door or stall front is built to the exact opening rather than forcing the barn to conform to a standard size. This precision lets the products drop cleanly into both new construction and renovation projects. Standard sliding doors run about 51 1/2 inches wide by 96 inches tall, but those dimensions are customizable.
What sliding stall door styles does Armour offer?
Armour's sliding stall door lineup includes Superstructure, Crossbuck, Tongue & Groove, Mini, Coolbreeze, Coolbreeze Scuff Panel, Endura, Logo, Monarch, and Taube models. Starting prices range from $974.10 for Mini doors and $1,074.10 for Superstructure doors up to $1,802.94 for the Endura line. Each style can be configured with different tops and bottoms to match the barn's look and the horse's needs.
What top options are available on the doors?
Sliding door tops can be ordered as a Standard Bar Top, Fold Down Panel, Herringbone, Herringbone Fold Down, Lift Out Panel, or Gossip Top. The Gossip Top opens to let stabled horses see and socialize with their neighbors, while fold-down and lift-out panels let you close off the top opening when needed. The variety means owners can balance ventilation, visibility, and security for each horse.
What is included in a stall front package?
A stall front package bundles the sliding door, the track, adjustable trolleys, aluminum stops, a latch, a heavy-duty adjustable stay roller, the front grill, and all fasteners needed for installation. Because the hardware is included, there are no separate kits to buy. The four package lines are Bailey (from $1,491.61), Economy (from $1,506.62), Klepper (from $2,211.87), and Aron (from $2,236.12).
What sizes do the stall fronts come in?
Stall front packages are offered in 7-foot and 8-foot heights with common widths of 10, 12, 14, and 16 feet, and custom sizing is available beyond those standards. Bar spacing can be specified at 3, 2, or 1 inch depending on the horses being housed. The panels are designed to bolt directly between existing posts in the barn.
Can I get a custom logo or artwork on the stall?
Yes. Armour uses CNC routing to cut custom logos and designs directly into aluminum panels, and offers Barn Art story panels where customers submit their own image to be routed into the metal. Custom horse stalls are advertised with 200-plus graphics options. These touches let owners brand their barn or add a decorative, one-of-a-kind look.
What is Barn Art?
Barn Art is Armour's newest product line, consisting of decorative CNC-routed aluminum panels and story panels that turn a stall front or partition into a custom graphic feature. Customers can supply their own image or logo to be cut into the aluminum. It is a way to personalize a barn while keeping the same durable, rust-free material as the rest of the stall system.
Do the products come assembled or do I have to build them?
Armour components arrive completely assembled and pre-labeled, delivered ready to install with all necessary hardware and fasteners included, so there is no product assembly on arrival. A sliding door typically requires about 18 fasteners to mount, while a grille takes roughly 6 to 12. The company's tagline sums it up: "At Armour, we do the majority of the work for you!"
What bottom materials can I choose for a stall door?
Door bottoms can be specified in aluminum, lumber, or Endura, a dense PVC plastic. Aluminum keeps the door all-metal and rust-free, lumber lets owners coordinate with a wood barn interior, and Endura offers a tough, chew-resistant synthetic surface. The Coolbreeze Scuff Panel and Endura lines are built around these durable lower-panel options.
Does Armour make products for miniature horses and other animals?
Yes. Armour offers Mini stall doors starting at $974.10 and miniature gates sized for small equines, and the product range serves full-sized and miniature horses alike. The company also makes dog gates, whelping boxes, and a stall bedding blocker, extending its aluminum components beyond traditional horse stalls. This breadth suits residential barns, breeding operations, and mixed-animal facilities.
What kinds of facilities use Armour stalls?
Armour stalls are installed in residential barns, commercial boarding and training facilities, therapeutic riding centers, and veterinary hospitals. The company documents over 100 completed projects in its gallery, including large installations such as one job supplying 120 stall fronts. The combination of durability, custom sizing, and a finished appearance suits both private owners and professional operations.
What hardware comes with a sliding door?
Each sliding stall door includes a round track, adjustable trolleys, aluminum stops, a latch, a heavy-duty adjustable stay roller, and the fasteners required to hang it. Because all of this ships in the package, the customer does not need to source hardware separately. The adjustable trolleys and stay roller allow the door to be fine-tuned for smooth, quiet operation.
How do I get a quote or place an order?
To request pricing or place an order, contact Armour at its DeLand, Florida factory. You can call toll-free at 800-876-7706, reach the local line at 386-740-7459, send a fax to 386-740-9077, or email
[email protected]. The company also offers a 24-hour technical support hotline to help builders and owners with sizing and installation questions.
Is technical support available during installation?
Yes. Armour provides a 24-hour technical support hotline so installers and DIY owners can get help with measurements, configuration, and mounting at any time. Because components arrive pre-labeled and fully assembled, most installs are straightforward, but the support line is there for questions that come up on site. This is part of Armour's promise to do the majority of the work for the customer.
