Hello,
I have plans to build two or three stalls in a part of a barn. I'm considering wood, casting, or concrete blocks. The challenge is that the ceiling is high, making it impossible to anchor anything upwards, and the concrete floor is uneven, making it difficult to cast and build. Currently, I have two rickety stalls that the horses are about to push out as they are only attached with angle irons to the floor.
Does anyone have any suggestions? Unfortunately, I am not particularly handy, but I have to try anyway. My partner, who built the aforementioned rickety stalls, is of no help.

Maybe a bit more info is needed. What exactly is a box? Any pictures?
There are ready-made box walls that just need to be assembled, but they do cost a bit. I have built two stables on the property, one in wood and one constructed from concrete blocks. Wood feels warmer and more pleasant, but requires maintenance since a horse seems to be part beaver and nine parts horse, I've realized. Concrete is harder to build with but is maintenance-free, requiring only washing and paint.
