Arena surface?

[Louisewere]

I am in early stages of building an arena at home. Hit me with your arena surfaces recommendations and why?
Thanks!

Flexi ride, frost resistant and very little management needed!

Silica sand or aircraft rubber

I do not recommend Combi Ride.

A friend just had flexi ride surface on her home menage and said its been great.

What surface did you go for if you have finished? I am at this stage now and so unsure what to use. I have been advised with carpet fibre I dont need silica sand. I purchased second hand 40 bags of carpet fibre and silica sand but it looks nothing like the silica sand I have been looking at. The one I purchased is harsh and the one I have been looking at looks really soft.
