We’re about to start construction of ARC stall fronts. The instructions include this photo:
Those of you who have stalls built like this from components (rather than one-piece fronts that just get bolted or pinned in place) … does the post to the left of the door have to go all the way up to the rafters? It would still be cemented in place, just cut at 7’ or however tall the board that supports the hanging door rail is.
I am definitely setting the corner post and tying it into the rafters. That one also supports the divider wall between two stalls.
I am guilty of over-building absolutely everything, so if all three posts need to be full height, that’s fine. I just want to make sure there is a structural reason. And also because have you seen the price of a pressure treated 6x6 lately??
