Does anyone know anything about Cover-All Arenas? They look like giant, white tarpaulines and they advertise at the hope of the home page of HHO.

I have heard you can erect them without planning permission because they are not permanent, is that true? Does anyone have any idea of the cost (let's say for a 20x40)? As you can tell I am getting desperate for an indoor after this summer!
 
There are loads of Coveralls over here in North America.

They are warmer than outside, so good for winter, not so good for summer.

They make noise when it is raining or windy outside, however they are pretty draughtproof when riding in them.

I cannot ever imagine that you could put one up without planning permission? They ARE permanent structures and are seriously weighty buildings. The sides need to be built up, over here people either use concrete sides or wooden-framed sides.

No idea about the cost for over in the UK; email them and they will tell you. At a very rough guess, for the size you are looking at, I'd imagine it would be somewhere around £40,000 - £50,000 (excluding all the groundwork and sides).
 
I got a quote from them and it was between £10 to £12 per square foot. My arena is 24m x 48m so that made the estimate between £128,000 to £154,000 not including groundworks which must be in place before they start. Yes, you do need planning permission!
