Getting Your Arena Right from the Ground Up

Installing a new arena is a significant investment—and getting it right from the start is essential

Step 1: Ground Preparation

A strong foundation is critical. This includes:

• Excavation
• Levelling
• Installing a suitable sub-base

Step 2: Drainage

Without proper drainage, even the best surface will fail.

Effective systems ensure:

• Water flows away efficiently
• Surface remains usable year-round

Step 3: Choosing Your Surface

This is where performance really comes into play.

Options include:

Flexiride – ideal for performance and consistency
Turfloat – designed for durability and structure
Equiride – versatile and balanced for general use

Step 4: Installation & Finishing

Professional installation ensures:

• Even distribution
• Correct depth
• Long-term performance

Common Mistakes to Avoid

• Cutting corners on groundwork
• Choosing surface based on price alone
• Ignoring drainage requirements

Final Thoughts

A well-installed arena will save you time, money, and frustration in the long run.
