RIDING ARENAS

Owning and maintaining a horse riding arena is a significant commitment. Equestrians need a space that is safe, functional, and reliable for year-round training. If you have or are planning to build a traditional wood or pole barn structure, then you might run into numerous issues that challenge these goals. Wood is susceptible to rot, warping, and pest infestations from termites and other insects. Weather is also a constant concern, as heavy snow, high winds, and moisture can compromise the structural integrity, leading to expensive and time-consuming repairs. These constant maintenance demands take away valuable time from riding and training, which affects your riders’ satisfaction and your bottom line.

Conversely, a desirable riding arena is a secure, unobstructed, and well-lit space. It has ample clear-span space, allowing riders to move freely without navigating around interior support columns. Excellent ventilation is also critical for the health of both horses and riders, and durable construction is necessary to ensure protection from harsh weather. And finally, the ideal structure should require minimal upkeep, because who wants to spend their days fighting rot and pest infestations when they could be supporting riders and watching their arena thrive?

Red-iron steel riding arenas deliver all these desirable features without the typical drawbacks. Engineered for superior strength, these covered horse arenas easily withstand extreme weather conditions, from heavy snow loads to strong winds. Moreover, the steel is inorganic, making it impervious to rot, mold, and pests. This eliminates the need for the chemical treatments and repairs that wood requires.

What’s more, the clear-span design of a steel building horse arena provides vast, open interiors perfect for training, events, and equipment storage. Ultimately, by choosing a red-iron steel arena, you invest in a long-lasting, safe, and efficient facility that provides peace of mind for you and more time in the saddle for your riders.
