Arena covers, indoor riding arenas, stable buildings and yard storage for livery yards, equestrian centres, competition venues and private yards. Clear span buildings with no internal columns, specified around the arena, the horses and the site, with temporary, semi-permanent and permanent options to hire or buy.
An outdoor arena depends on the weather. Heavy rain closes it and damages the surface, frost and baked ground limit what can be ridden, and a wet winter can stop lessons and schooling for weeks.
A clear span cover keeps the arena usable all year, protects the surface and gives riders and coaches a space they can rely on. With no columns inside the span, the whole surface stays rideable.
The galvanised steel system spans up to 30 m, which covers a standard 20 m wide arena with room around the track, and the length extends in 5 m increments for 40 m, 60 m or longer arenas. Wider and permanent indoor arenas are designed on the structural steel system.
Set the span and length to suit your arena, then explore an open-sided cover or an enclosed indoor arena in 3D.

Four points shape every equestrian building.
The span is set by the arena width plus room around the track, and the height by the rider and the work, since jumping needs more clear height than flatwork. Eaves heights of 3 to 7 m are available on the galvanised steel system, with bespoke heights on structural steel.
Horses need fresh air and riders need good light. Open sides, open bays and door positions are agreed at design stage, and the roof and wall finishes are chosen with light and airflow in mind.
Buildings are supplied without a floor, so an existing arena surface and its drainage stay in place. Ground conditions and fixing positions around the arena are checked before the design is fixed.
Most arena covers and stable buildings need planning permission. Planning permission depends on the use, the location, the size and how long the building will stay. We work with a specialist planning company that covers the UK and can introduce you to discuss your proposal. See planning permission for temporary buildings for general guidance.
