cover-all arenas..

[rachelandcassie]

Just wondering if anyone's ridden in one of them. I'm thinking about enquiring but they're sales people and will tell you what you want to hear so any opinions are appreciated

Also, if anyone knows of a ballpark figure for the building.. I don't want them to come out and quote me yet as I've not secured my land-I just want to see if it's viable..

They are lovely and light to ride in as the material allows the light to filter through. They are not too noisy in the rain either, quieter than other indoor arenas with a hard roof. The one that I used was open at one end, so it didn't get muggy in hot weather, but I don't know if that is viable for the UK climate!

They are VERY expensive, more than a conventional shed BUT benefits are that they are bright and airy and I suppose you would save on leccy bills for lights!

I was expecting and dreading someone would say that.. :s anyone know a rough figure?

HUGE debate on this on a Canadian forum recently. Some people were for and some against, the main point against seemed to be the condensation factor. But, this seemed to be in arenas that also had integral stabling, and Canadian winters...so very cold.

In the UK, I don't see what would be at all wrong with them, as someone said, they are light and airy, and no more noisy than a metal roofed building. We have one coming shortly, but, sad face here, hubby has bagged it for his vehicles.
