2 July 2025

Whether you’re planning to build an arena yourself, or hiring a professional contractor, join our MD, Tom, as he takes you through the essential steps of constructing a high performance equestrian arena, showing the exact process we follow in our arena builds for professional riders:

  • Strip of the topsoil
  • Cut and fill
  • Drainage installation
  • Fencing
  • Base stone and membrane installation
  • Laying the surface
  • Final harrowing

It is important to ensure each stage is completed with precision and care to provide you with a finished arena that stands the test of time and creates a safe, secure training space for you and your horse.
