And if anyone didn't mind PM'ing me with the same feedback I'd be very grateful!

Sorry to jump on your post tammy42, but I think we're probably in the same general area

Sounds like it.....its bit of a nightmare to say least! Keep in touch

I don't know any specifically local to you, but I know a big national one I would avoid like the plague!

PM me if you were thinking of using a big national company...

Ditto! A minefield, isn't it!

We used Whitham Vale: http://www.wvarenas.com/

Had no issues and the arena has been up for 10 years now with no real issues.

They also put the original arena in at Moreton.

Edited to say that if you want to come and look drop me a PM. I am between Yeovil and Wincanton.

Thank you! I shall add them to my list! What surface did you go for?

Moreton was installed by Charles Britton

Considering how many schools there probably are around the UK I'm suprised at lack of responses to this thread! I am struggling to get 2 big name companies to respond to my phone messages and emails.....not impressed at all, even after chasing them up! Good luck to anyone trying to get one done!

had good service from Pegasus arenas, they work nationwide

Charles Britton did ours, its been down 5 years and is excellent. They've been building arenas for donkeys years so know what they're doing. There's bound to be some of their arenas in your area to view.

I only got the quote for interests sake, I though they'd be well out of my budget but it was very competitive.

Sorry, only just got back to this.

We have sand with rubber on top. Its fine but doesn't have much spring. I'd like to get some fibre added at some point.

This was taken last summer, still looking good after 10yrs: https://www.dropbox.com/s/8b5iq62rk5zb5ty/2015-07-21 19.03.43.jpg?dl=0

Tbf, if you use the search function on here, you will find that there are numerous similar previous threads...
