We are redoing our stalls at the barn and want to get some nice stall fronts. Currently we just have large cattle gates are our stall fronts. We've extended down the entire back of the barn so that we will have a total of 6-7 stalls. We basically only use these stalls for feeding and holding for short time periods (waiting to ride or load up for a show).
So anyways, I'm sure lots of people on here have done research on these, and I'd love to hear what ya'll have found. We're not very picky on anything except price. We want the cheapest ones. But none of the websites post prices, you have to call/e-mail for a quote. So what have ya'll paid? Who's the cheapest?
We only need the fronts, no sides, and must have sliding doors. I'm not a fan of the sliding doors but we have plastic sheeting that comes down to 5' above the ground to keep wind out (this is a shed row set up). All our horses are trained to walk under it, but when you open swinging doors (what we have now) it gets in the way and is hard to open and close with a horse in tow.

Any suggestions on what brands to look into?

I built my own for about $70 in wood. I know that craigslist sometimes has listing for barn demos. Try there for some good deals!! ;)

I have this one. I really like it and it has held up great. I have the front and one side.

oooo, thanks TLC the one on the left is exactly what we want. We like the feed door, but don't need any of the other extras. We don't have water in the stalls because they're never in there more than 30 minutes or so. For the same reason we don't need hay racks. We just wanted to mount a corner feeder and have an easy access to it. Any chance you remember what that front costs?

I think I paid about $300 for the front and side, I would have to check at home. I got them right at my local feed store. We had to mess with the mounting brackets to get them to work right. Then just bought the wood to slide in.
