Indoor Steel Building Riding Arena<\/p><\/div>\n
With the sort of winters parts of the country get, an indoor riding arena<\/a> can be a worthwhile investment if you don\u2019t want the elements to stand between you and your equine friends.<\/p>\n Even in the sunny parts of the country, where the weather can get too wet or too frozen for a few solid weeks to set the hoofs outdoors, investing in a Equestrian Facility<\/a> makes real sense.<\/p>\n While there is certainly no \u201cone-size-fits-all\u201d approach to building and designing an indoor riding arena, taking into consideration the cost factors involved should give you an idea of what you can expect to spend on the project.<\/p>\n This post will walk you through the different cost factors involved in building an indoor riding arena\u2014and where possible will give you a ballpark figure for each\u2014to help you get started with your project.<\/p>\n [\/vc_column_text]\n We have a passion for unconventional solutions that bring your vision to life.<\/p>\n Price Your Building Today<\/i><\/a>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n[vc_column_text]<\/p>\n The cost of building an indoor riding arena is mainly determined by the following:<\/strong><\/p>\n When we talk about structure type, there are basically three options that you can choose from:<\/p>\n Fabric covered structure<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n This type of structure consists of a steel frame that\u2019s covered by a translucent fabric roof, commonly made from polyethylene. The maximum free-width of a fabric covered structure can expand up to 200 feet, making it an ideal structure type for indoor riding arena construction projects. It has one main drawback though; it\u2019s difficult to insulate.<\/p>\n Wood frame structure<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n As the name indicates, a wood frame structure is made entirely from wood. It offers greater design flexibility compared to fabric covered structure, allowing contractors to incorporate doors and windows along the length of the arena. The doors and windows control the amount of natural light entering into the building.<\/p>\n Another advantage of a wood frame structure is that you can easily insulate its roof and walls if you want. That said, a wood frame construction has a limited width, usually around 90 feet, which makes its use impractical for large sized arenas. Also, it needs to be carefully designed with the right combination of treated and untreated lumber to ensure structure longevity.<\/p>\n Steel frame structure<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n A steel frame structure accommodates the highest arena width\u2014to 200 feet or more\u2014of all structure types. It\u2019s free of posts and columns, providing an obstacle-free field for riding.<\/p>\n Like wood frame structures, roof and walls of a steel frame structure can easily be insulated for comfortable winter horse training. Vendors typically offer steel frame structures in the form of pre-fab buildings, where the complete arena is fabricated offsite and is later transported to the site for assembly.<\/p>\n An indoor riding arena built from a steel frame structure is known for its durability, strength and robustness.<\/p>\n A pointer: <\/strong>In terms of cost, wood frame arenas are more expensive to build than fabric covered or steel frame arenas; the latter category of arenas, steel, generally requires the least amount of investment. This, however, may vary depending on the contractor\/manufacturer you hire for the project.<\/em><\/p>\n [\/vc_column_text]\n We have a passion for unconventional solutions that bring your vision to life.<\/p>\n Price Your Building Today<\/i><\/a>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n[vc_column_text]<\/p>\n The size of the arena also plays a very important role in determining the cost of the project. The bigger the size of your arena, the higher the cost. This doesn\u2019t mean, however, that you can compromise on the size of your arena just to reduce project cost. At the end of the day, you want to invest in an indoor riding arena that\u2019s adequately sized so it can meet your needs for years to come.<\/p>\n The size of an indoor riding arena is specified in width, length and height.<\/p>\n It\u2019s important to note that while the length of an indoor riding arena can always be extended, the width of an arena cannot be changed, and therefore it shouldn\u2019t be skimped on. Also, if you plan to incorporate some jumps for training, it\u2019s always better to adjust the height of your arena by at least another 2 feet.<\/p>\n The location of the arena affects the cost of the project in four ways:<\/p>\n Let\u2019s take a look at them one by one.<\/p>\n Permit costs<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n To build an indoor riding arena, you must first get the required permits from your local municipality or county office. The types of permits you need to obtain will vary depending on the location of the site that you\u2019ve selected for your project. For example, if you\u2019re planning to build the arena in an environmentally sensitive land, you may have to apply for an additional permit from your jurisdiction-specified conservation authority. Likewise, in some cases, you may need a special development permit to start the construction process. Consult your local Building Officer for tailored guidance.<\/em><\/p>\n Site preparation costs<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n Site preparation can take a chunk of your project\u2019s budget. It mainly involves grading, excavation and drainage planning. When building an indoor riding arena, you ideally want to keep your site preparation costs to a minimum. However, that will be determined by the location of the site where you plan to build the arena. If the site is not level with the surrounding land, you\u2019ll need to make it level to avoid water runoffs. If there\u2019s too much dirt around, you\u2019ll need to remove some of the soil to ensure an optimal base area support for the footing.<\/p>\n Utility setup costs<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n If you\u2019re building the arena alongside a stable, you can leverage the infrastructure of the existing construction and connect it to the arena. However, if you\u2019re building the arena as a stand-alone facility, you\u2019ll then need to invest in getting the power, gas and water in.<\/p>\nTake the next step<\/h2>\n
