Ride any day of the year — with nothing in the ring.
A covered riding arena does two things a paddock can't: it lets you train through rain, heat, and snow, and it gives horse and rider a completely clear floor. That second part is the whole reason to build in steel — a true clear-span arena has zero support columns anywhere in the riding surface. A post in the middle of a working lane isn't an inconvenience; it's a collision waiting to happen. Clear span isn't a convenience feature here, it's a safety feature.
The dimensions are the language serious riders already speak. A standard dressage court is 20×60 meters — about 66×198 feet — while most private and small-commercial arenas land in the 80×150 to 80×200 range. Eave height is the make-or-break spec for a mounted rider: plan 14–16 feet for western and jumping, 16–20 for competition, and more if a drag tractor needs to work the footing. It's the premium end of the barn lineup, and it's engineered to your county's loads and built to serve for decades of all-weather training.
Covered arenas, column-free by design.
Set the clear width and length for your discipline and the eave for a mounted rider — we engineer the rigid frame to carry it. Every arena is quoted to your plan.

Know your discipline and footprint?
Arenas are engineered individually. Tell a specialist the width, length, and eave you need — dressage, jumping, roping, boarding — and we'll spec the clear-span frame and certification.
The numbers that make an arena work.
Riders judge an arena on a few exact specs. Nail these and the ring rides right; miss them and no amount of steel fixes it.
Zero interior columns in the riding surface. Nothing to collide with, complete freedom of movement — the core reason to build in steel.
The standard competition court is about 66×198 ft; the small practice court is 66×131 ft. Build to the discipline you ride.
The most popular range for private training and small-commercial arenas — enough room for most disciplines and a rail.
The practical minimum clearance for a mounted rider; go 16–20 ft for competition, and higher if a drag tractor works the footing.
Cover the ring and you train through rain, heat, and snow — no rained-out days, and footing that lasts years longer under a roof.
Sand, sand-rubber, or stone-dust footing is chosen and installed to your discipline — we build the shell, you (or a footing specialist) set the surface.
A column in the ring is a wreck waiting to happen.
Every argument for a steel arena comes back to the column-free floor. Here's what the clear span buys a working ring — and why it's worth the premium tier.
Nothing to hit
A rigid steel frame carries the roof from the walls alone, so the riding surface is completely open — no posts, no obstacles, no collision hazards.
Ride the full floor
Lay the rail wherever you want, work any pattern, and use every square foot — a columned building would waste and endanger the middle.
Spans wood can't
Steel clears 60 to 120+ ft column-free, spans a pole or timber arena simply can't reach without posts in the way.
Built for the long haul
Engineered to your wind and snow loads with a 40–60 year lifespan — the ring outlasts the horses that train in it.
How big is a riding arena?
Covered arenas start around 60×120, run through the popular 80×150 to 80×200 range, and scale to 100×200+ for competition — all clear-span, with a 14–16 ft (or taller) eave for a mounted rider.

- Certified builds: engineer-stamped for your county's wind & snow loads
- 12- or 14-gauge galvanized steel — carries our 20-year rust warranty
- Factory-direct pricing with no middleman markup
Owners say it best.
Real, verified Google reviews from owners who bought their building from us, straight from our business profile.
View all reviewsWe are building a barndominium and they delivered the shell on schedule. Our contractor said the framing was straighter than most stick-built shells he sees.
Loafing shed for the horses showed up exactly when they said it would. The crew leveled and anchored on uneven ground and didn't try to charge extra.
Hurricane-rated anchors and engineer-stamped drawings were ready when our county asked. Permit went through the first time.
