EASY INSTALLATION
Installation is faster, simpler
and less expensive because of the
unique features built into each
Martin Free .Stall. Pre-drilled,
rear angle brackets allow easy
fastening to wooden headboards,
walls—or for placement that is
independent of any support.
Only the Martin Free Stall has
that "extra bend" that provides
a straight downward leg into a
narrower concrete curb. Concrete
curbs that hold and retain the
bedding—as well as anchor each
free-standing stall —need not be
constructed wider than six inches
