Horse rug racks fitted in tack rooms and stables. Securely wall-mounted, properly spaced, taking the weight. Rugs stored off the floor where they can air.
### Stop Rugs Living in a Heap
Rugs **piled on the floor** go mouldy, get stood on, and you can never find the one you need. A proper rug rack sorts all of that - organized storage that actually works.
> 💡 **Pro tip:** Mount rug racks where there's good air circulation. Wet rugs need to breathe or they'll go mouldy and stink. Near a door or window is ideal.

Good to Know
> 🐴 **Wet rugs are heavy** - A soaking turnout rug can weigh 15kg+. Make sure your fixings are up to the job or you'll have the rack on the floor and holes in your wall. **Organize by horse** - If you've got multiple horses, fit separate racks for each. Label them and you'll never grab the wrong rug when you're in a rush. **Consider a drying area** - Some people fit a rack near the door where wet rugs go first, then move them to storage once dry. Stops your storage rugs getting damp. **Full tack room setup** - While I'm there, consider getting bridle hooks, saddle racks, and other storage sorted in one visit. More efficient than multiple trips.
Frequently Asked Questions about Rug rack fitting in Sidmouth
How many rugs can a rug rack hold?
A standard wall-mounted rug rack holds 4-6 heavy winter rugs or more lighter ones. If you've got multiple horses, I can fit several racks or a larger setup. Just depends on your wall space and how many rugs you're storing.
Can you fit a rug rack to my tack room wall?
Yes - as long as it's a solid wall. Block, brick, or timber frame all work. I use proper fixings rated for the weight - wet horse rugs are heavy, so it needs to be mounted securely.
Where's the best place to mount a rug rack?
Somewhere with good airflow so rugs can dry, but not where they'll get dripped on from wet tack above. Usually on a side wall at shoulder height. I'll advise when I see your space.
Do I need to provide the rug rack?
Either way works. If you've already bought one, I'll fit it. If not, I can advise on what size you need and pick one up. Simple wall-mounted racks are cost-effective and work well.
Can you fit multiple racks in one visit?
Absolutely - once I'm set up with tools and fixings, doing several racks is quick. More efficient than separate visits if you're organizing the whole tack room.
