Covered Riding Arena Construction

Ride in any weather: clear-span covered arenas with great light, proper footing and a roof built to carry the span.

A covered arena gives you shade in July, shelter in February and a place to ride whenever you want. A common size for general riding is about 60 by 120 feet, while dressage riders may want about 66 by 131 feet. Larger spans need engineered trusses, strong posts and careful foundations.

We design arenas with natural light in mind: translucent panels, high sidewall openings and good electric lighting for evening rides. Footing, drainage and kick boards are planned together so the surface stays safe and consistent.

Questions

Riding Arenas FAQ

What size arena do I need?

A common general-use size is 60 by 120 feet. Dressage, jumping and cutting may call for different dimensions, so we plan to your discipline.

Open-sided or enclosed?

Open sides cost less and ventilate well; enclosed arenas offer more weather protection. Many owners start open and enclose later.

Who does the footing?

We coordinate with footing specialists and plan the base and drainage together.

Can I add stalls later?

Yes. We can design the arena to connect to a barn.
