Arena construction
We are proud to offer unique approaches that fit every preference, and design with the comfort and safety of you and your horses in mind. We use only the highest quality, locally sourced materials, and construction techniques to ensure a long-lasting, durable, and low-maintenance arena that will stand up to the test of time.

Standard Inclusions – Drainage
For new builds and any areas of land where earthworks are required, we use our laser guided box grader.
Laser grading technology enables us to precisely cut and create multiple ‘falls’ over the site (base and surface) to ensure there is the optimal amount of fall over the build site to millimetre perfection.
This is vital to ensure the water can disperse in the desired direction, and prevents water logged arenas.

Paint and Sealer
All exposed timber in and around your completed arena is painted and sealed with a Crib-X* product. The benefits of using Crib-X:
- Extends the life of fencing.
- Reduces water absorption, allowing the timber to breathe.
- Is UV stable and will stay on your fence, looking great.
- Contains a non-toxic inoculant (anti-cribbing agent) to discourage cribbing and chewing**
- Crib-X is environmentally friendly – free from creosote, bitumen and solvents.

Finished Surface
There are a wide variety of surface options, including, sand, mixed sand/rubber, and fibre.
Many different people claim one surface is better than another, one surface is safe and the other is not, one surface is good for a horse’s legs and the other is not. There is so much misinformation circulating, it’s no wonder this very topic causes so much confusion
We believe the surface product is dependent on the activities and sports you are planning to undertake within your new arena. The finished surface and depth is something we will discuss with you to ensure that the end solution is going to suit your needs.
