Services
Everything that goes into an arena, and what each part costs.
Seven services, seven pages. Written for someone deciding whether to spend thirty thousand pounds, not for a search engine.
Arena construction
New arenas built from the ground up, drainage first.
An arena is roughly four hundred tonnes of stone and sand sitting on your ground for the next twenty years. Almost everything that decides whether it is still riding well at the end of that is buried before the surface ever goes down.

Arenas that have stopped riding well, diagnosed before they are quoted.
Most arenas that need refurbishing do not need a new surface. They need the actual fault found first, which takes a morning and saves a great deal of money.

Silica sand, fibre, wax and rubber, compared honestly rather than sold.
There is no best arena surface. There is a surface that suits what you ride, how often you ride it, how much maintenance you will realistically do and how much you want to spend. Anyone who tells you otherwise is selling the one they stock.

The part nobody sees and the reason most arenas fail.
When an arena stops performing, the problem is not always on the surface. Beneath every successful arena is a drainage and base system designed around the site.

Round pens and turnout that stays usable in February.
A lunge pen and an all weather turnout pen are built the same way an arena is, which is why the ones bolted together on bare ground turn to mud by December.
