Sliding partitions allow the entire partition to roll into the aisle. They are very convenient for large operations, making stall cleaning a breeze by allowing all stalls to be cleaned at once. This is especially useful for barns that use straw bedding.
Swinging partitions allow you to swing the partition out of the way into either stall. Like sliding partitions, they are especially useful for farms that like to muck out all stalls at once. Swinging partitions offer a few more benefits than sliding partitions, for example a foaling stall or a stall for a larger horse can be created immediately by swinging a partition out of the way, and can be made back into two stalls just as quickly. Those who have them adore the versatility that they offer when configuring stalls.
