At Buildings uk we specialise in constructing Agricultural, Industrial and Equestrian steel framed buildings. We will work with you in order to construct a building that fits your exact requirements.
The construction of an indoor arena is based on an established method. Once the site has been identified and planning permission gained the Foundations can be dug. Then the concrete is poured, to accommodate the steel reinforcements that are then bolted down into position.
An indoor riding School can be a real asset if you don’t want the weather to stand in the way of your riding. There is no one-size-fits-all approach to designing and building an indoor arena, as this is one of the most significant investments a land owner can make. There are many factors to take into consideration to ensure you are left with a building that will meet your needs for many years to come.
As experts in Equestrian builds here are a few points to consider before building an Indoor School:
Many people prefer to have an arena attached to the stable, rather than in a separate location. An existing barn may determine the location of the arena, with placement based on functionality. New facilities, may afford more flexibility. Among the things to consider are the underground drainage and water wells, as well as where the power will be coming from.
Indoor Schools are constructed using a steel frame, which can be built custom to any size depending on your personal requirements. The roof structure is usually fibre cement sheets, with sky lights allowing as much natural light as possible.
Normally 2 pairs of sliding doors should be integrated into the school that will be clad similarly to the rest of the indoor arena. Cladding comes in many different styles depending on budget and planner’s stipulations. Usually steel cladding sheets come in Juniper green or brown and would be used to floor level. Alternatively, you could consider treated softwood claddings.
An important aspect of designing and building an Indoor school is that, some form of ventilation should be included. it could be through strategically placed openings that encourage the flow of air, or through a mechanical system. Without ventilation you can get condensation on the roof. Mechanical ventilation systems are more common in heated, insulated buildings, and larger commercial projects.
The decision to insulate and heat your arena may be influenced by where you live and the type of winter weather you must endure, as well as your budget. Even where walls are not insulated, insulation can be added under a steel roof, which will help keep it cooler inside the arena in the summer heat. Insulation can also promote a quieter environment in heavy rain and wind.
