FAQ

What footing options are available for post frame riding arenas?

We offer sand-and-fiber mixes, rubber-infused surfaces, wax-coated sand, or custom blends—each tailored for traction, dust control, and drainage.

How do you ensure proper arena ventilation?

Our designs include ridge vents, cupolas, sidewall openings, and optional high-capacity fans to circulate fresh air and control humidity year-round.

Absolutely. We integrate spectator lofts, tack rooms, wash-stalls, and storage areas seamlessly into the post frame structure.
