Great value things from DIY stores have been:
- Buckets
- Mounting Blocks
- Storage tubs
- Screwdrivers for cleaning studs
- An amazing grooming box
- Spanners for studs
- Magnetic dish for studs
- Sponges for washing off
- Leather hole punch
- Containers for Studs
- WD40
- Electrical tape
- Hosepipe stuff
I am sure there is lots I have missed out on but you get the gist! The one thing I keep meaning to try is using expandable foam in stud holes but I need to do a bit more research before going there!

General stable improvements – Dad built me a lovely hay box, Pipe insulation a plenty and numerous hooks for rugs/coats!
Funny thing is when you go in the DIY stores there seem to be people happily buying stuff for their homes, with not a thought about horses …. don’t get that. 🙂
