Posted in here because I reckon more people will have built arenas.
Has anyone added the fibre themselves, our arena is sea sand and silica with rubber and has worked really well for us, but needs a top up. I have bought 16 tons of rubber, and we have levelled it to perfection, and I'm currently sourcing fibre.
There are various suppliers but the best priced appears to be on Ebay a company from Bolton. I'll go for the Premium grade which they say is new carpet chopped up.
Has anyone bought from them please?
The method doesn't sound that difficult (we have built two arenas from scratch ourselves), you rotovate the fibre into the arena being careful not to go near the membrane, then add the remaining rubber chips on top.
It's a lot of money to spend without hearing from someone who has had good (or bad) experiences, so any advice gratefully recived.
For anyone wondering our mix of two sands and rubber produced a super surface, it is rideable in all weathers and has only got deeper at one end as the surface has moved a bit due to rain and the slope. Hopefully the fibre should solve that and more rubber give more bounce.
