Although indoor riding arenas are traditionally constructed from pressure-treated lumber, the equestrian community can benefit from a pre-engineered steel building that is well-suited to the particular needs of horse owners and riding facility managers.

Unlike stick-built construction materials, steel’s remarkable strength and versatility enable clear span construction without regularly-spaced load-bearing walls or columns that can obstruct views. This is ideal for a riding arena that must accommodate spectators as well as for owners or managers who would prefer more interior space flexibility.

Less cost, more peace-of-mind

Perhaps one of the greatest selling points of pre-engineered steel construction is its significantly-greater fire resistance compared to wood and other flammable construction products. This not only reduces insurance costs, it also lowers initial construction costs because the building is manufactured off-site and requires only a minimal construction crew to erect it on location, often within days or weeks instead of months.

A customizable, pre-engineered steel equestrian arena enables the creation of specialized interior spaces designed to meet specific needs including feed storage, stalls, aisles, tack storage and spaces for recreational riding, dressage, and training. Steel is rust, corrosion, mildew, mold, and pest resistant; can be easily painted if desired; and stands up well to wind, snow and driving rain. A properly-erected pre-engineered steel horse riding arena can remain standing and in good repair for 20-30 years or even longer, without maintenance or painting.
