The purpose of this report is to describe how to install and maintain a sand bedding system, describe the problems that have been seen, and address some of the design modifications in tie stall and stanchion barns. The use of sand in stall barns has been approved in Wisconsin. However, there are some considerations to keep in mind. Wood can not be used in the back of stall platforms as bedding keepers, even if it is painted. The stall platforms must be left intact, and as required of all bedding, the sand must be kept clean and dry.
