Learn how to assemble the eitech Small Horse Stable (teifoc 1026) with 50 brick parts. Step-by-step guidance for a sturdy, safe build.

Quick Answer

Start by sorting the 50 brick pieces, then build the stable walls from the base up, and finish with the roof. Check each layer for square corners to ensure the horses fit comfortably.

Why the teifoc 1026 is a Good First Brick Set

The teifoc 1026 Small Horse Stable is designed for beginners, making it an ideal introduction to brick building. With only 50 components, it is manageable for children aged 6 and up, and the natural materials ensure safety during play.

Because the set uses real clay bricks and mortar, the assembly process differs from standard plastic blocks. You will need to mix the mortar and apply it carefully, which is a rewarding skill for young builders.

Assembly Steps

Prepare Your Workspace and Materials: Lay out all 50 bricks and the two horses on a flat, clean surface. Have a small bowl of water and the mortar mix ready. Check that you have all pieces by comparing with the instruction sheet (item number 1026). Missing pieces? Contact support before mixing mortar.
Mix the Mortar: Follow the package instructions to mix the mortar to a toothpaste-like consistency. Add water gradually to avoid it being too runny. The mortar should hold its shape when applied with the small trowel. Too watery? Add more dry mix, not more water.
Build the Base Walls: Apply a thin layer of mortar to the base plate and lay the first course of bricks, following the diagram. Use the spirit level to ensure the base is even. Continue stacking courses, staggering the joints for stability. Check each course with the level before moving up.
Add the Door and Window Openings: When you reach the sections with door or window openings, position the special bricks (like lintels) exactly as shown. Do not cover these openings with mortar; wipe away any excess with a damp cloth. Excess mortar can block openings—clean immediately.
Install the Roof: Once the walls reach the required height, place the roof pieces on top. Align them evenly and press gently to seat them into the mortar. Allow the roof to overhang slightly for a realistic look. Ensure the roof is centered before the mortar sets.
Let It Dry and Add the Horses: Allow the stable to dry completely (usually 24 hours) before moving it. Then place the two small horses inside. Avoid touching the structure while the mortar is still soft. Wait for full drying to prevent cracks.
