Investing in the right materials to protect your animals and livelihood is of vital importance. It’s a necessary cost, not only financially but for the welfare of your animals. Farmers need tough and useful solutions.

Stokbord is manufactured from 100% recycled plastic including agricultural silage wrap – it is the most sustainable and environmentally friendly choice for all farmers

Stokbord is that smart choice, able to handle tough working conditions of a farm, making it great for building cattle races that last.

The non-porous surface of Stokbord keeps out moisture, bacteria, and chemicals. This helps create a more hygienic environment than traditional materials like wood.

This is important to keep livestock healthy and safe while lowering the chance of contamination. As well as that, Stokbord is splinter-free and chew resistant. This means animals won’t get splinters or cuts during handling and transport, making the process safer for everyone involved.

It’s already used across many farming sites across Ireland and the UK, as well as safari parks and zoos, to maintain the highest animal welfare.

Creating clean and comfortable stables is very important for the health of horses and other farm animals.

Durability, safety, and easy cleaning are top of any stable owner/cleaner’s mind, so smooth surfaces that don’t soak up moisture are perfect and easy to disinfect.

This helps keep your animals in a healthy living space. Also, it reduces the chance of injuries from splinters or sharp edges that can come from using traditional materials.

The first step is to understand what you need based on how you plan to use it. Centriforce, the manufacturer of Stokbord, has different options designed for different uses. Think about how thick the board should be - this depends on how much impact or weight it must handle.

For places with heavy traffic or that might face impact, a thicker board is better. You should also think about the finish you need. An embossed surface gives a better grip, which helps in wet areas, while a smooth finish is easier to clean and handle.

The strong and flexible board is great for many uses in horse facilities. Its special features make it perfect for:

Horse walkers: It gives a safe and tough surface for horses. This helps reduce stress on their joints and lowers the chances of slipping or falling;
Wash bays: It offers a water-resistant and easy-to-clean area. It can handle being wet and is good with cleaning products;
Storage areas: It provides a strong and long-lasting covering for walls. This protects against damage from moisture, knocks, and everyday wear.

When equestrian facility owners pick Stokbord, they choose a product that cares for their animals. It also offers strength, safety, and a long life.

Transporting livestock or farming material requires a tough trailer lining. It should handle heavy use, resist damage, and keep things clean. Stokbord serves as a great option for lining livestock trailers. It meets all these needs.
