A wall-mounted boot rack takes about 30 minutes to fit and saves you tripping over piles of muddy boots every single day. Simple solution, instant improvement to stable tidiness.
💡 Pro tip: Mount boot racks near your washing area if you've got one - rinse boots off, stick them straight on the rack to dry.
Why Bother Mounting It Properly?
Because screwing a rack to a wall sounds simple until it falls off loaded with wet boots.

🔧 DIY Tips
Want to fit your own boot rack? Dead simple:
🔧 Tools you'll need
- Drill and appropriate bit for your wall
- Spirit level
- Pencil
- Screwdriver or drill driver
- Wall plugs and screws (match to wall type)
📐 Positioning
- Choose spot near door or washing area
- Height: about 12-18 inches off floor works well
- Mark level line with spirit level
- Check nothing's in the way (pipes, wiring behind wall)
✂️ Fitting process
- Hold rack against wall, mark screw positions through mounting holes
- Drill pilot holes (right size for your wall plugs)
- Insert wall plugs if needed (masonry/block walls)
- Screw rack to wall, check level as you go
- Test with weight before loading boots
⚠️ Common DIY mistakes
- Wrong wall plugs for wall type (doesn't hold)
- Not using a level (rack ends up wonky)
- Screws too long (crack through plaster on other side)
- Positioned where door hits it (think about door swing)
💡 Pro trick: If your stable walls are a bit crumbly or old block, use longer wall plugs and screws so you're getting grip deeper in better material - surface stuff is often dusty and weak.
Rather leave it to a pro? No problem - that's what I'm here for. Give me a call.
Good to Know
🥾 Multiple racks? If you're getting organized, I can fit coat hooks, saddle racks, bridle holders - anything that needs mounting. Save the callout, get it all done in one visit.
Wall type matters: Block walls need wall plugs, timber cladding needs different screws, brick is different again. I'll use the right fixings for whatever you've got.
Height preference: Some people like racks low (easier to reach), others want them higher (stops dogs grabbing boots). Your call - I'll fit where you want it.
Boot rack types: Wall-mounted ones are simplest. Freestanding racks work too but they take floor space and get kicked over. Wall-mounted makes more sense in tight stable spaces.
Frequently Asked Questions
What type of boot rack works best in stables?
Simple wall-mounted racks with individual slots or pegs work brilliantly - keeps boots paired and lets them dry. I can fit what you've bought or advise on what suits your setup. Metal ones last longer in damp stable environments than wood.
Where should I mount a boot rack in the tack room?
Near the door usually makes sense - grab your boots on the way in or out. Low enough to reach easily but high enough that boots aren't dragging on the floor. I'll suggest the best spot when I see your layout.
Can you fit racks to stable block walls?
Yes - block walls, timber cladding, brick, whatever you've got. I'll use the right fixings for your wall type so it's secure. Boot racks don't take much weight but they need to be solid.
How many boots does a typical rack hold?
Depends what you buy - most hold 3-4 pairs. If you've got multiple people riding or lots of different boots (winter, summer, yard boots), you might want two racks or a bigger one. Better to have too much space than boots piled in a corner.
Do I need to buy the rack first?
Either way - if you've already got one, I'll fit it. If not, I can advise what type and size would work for your space, then fit it once you've got it. Simple job either way.
