Why the Royal Wire Equine 5 & Swinging Blanket Bar Is the Permanent Upgrade Every Barn Needs

Kristine Peshina

When it comes to keeping a barn running smoothly, the difference between a good day and a chaotic one is often simple: organization that works. Trainers, grooms, and everyday horse owners all know the struggle of blankets piling up, sheets falling to the ground, or coolers getting tossed over stall doors.

That’s exactly why the Royal Wire 5 & Swinging Blanket Bar BLANKET BAR FIVE & SWINGING – Royal Wire Equine has become a customer favorite and a fixture in barns, trailers, and show setups across the country.

Built tough, designed smart, and made to last, this blanket bar does more than hold blankets. It transforms how a barn functions.

A Blanket Bar That’s Built Permanent — Just Like Your Barn Routine

While many storage solutions are designed to hang temporarily or slip over a board, the 5 & Swinging Blanket Bar was engineered for one purpose: permanent, dependable installation.

It mounts directly into your barn or trailer wall, giving you a solid, unmoving system that:

  • keeps blankets off the ground

  • improves airflow

  • offers easy access

  • reduces clutter in high-traffic spaces

  • holds blankets, sheets, coolers, and pads

Made from heavy-duty 3/8” carbon steel and finished with a zinc plating or durable powder coat, this blanket bar easily handles the daily grind of barn life like mud, moisture, constant movement, and heavy use.

And when it’s not in use?
The horse-head bars fold flat against the wall, staying out of the way without sacrificing strength.

How It Differs From Our Saddle Pad Holder (And Why That Matters)

Royal Wire makes multiple storage solutions, but each has its own purpose.

The 5 & Swinging Blanket Bar is designed for permanent mounting only.
It stays put. It stays strong. It’s built for blankets, not pads.

Our Saddle Pad Holder, on the other hand:

  • fits over a 2×4

  • works with the Royal Wire Main Frame system

  • is ideal for pads, not blankets

  • is portable and repositionable

A mounted blanket bar may seem like a simple thing…
but anyone who’s spent time in a barn knows that “simple” is what keeps everything moving.

The 5 & Swinging Blanket Bar helps you:

  • maximize stall fronts

  • improve blanket drying and ventilation

  • create a cleaner, safer aisle

  • reduce lost or dirty blankets
