How much to build an arena?

[Ella00]

Building an arena wondering how it would cost to build a 20x40 arena also need the ground to be levelled as its on a slope

We just did a 25 x 40 for £18k, all in.
We had to use quite a bit of clean stone to build up level as had quite a slope and I don’t have full fencing as that would have added about another £4K.

I adore my arena, it rides really well and would have cost double if done by a contractor.

Mine was similar to the one above as it had to be cut & fill due to slope, it's 20x40, fenced & has economy track surface & there was very little change from £40k. It rides extremely well & I am very pleased with it.

20x40 On a budget,musing a good groundworks guy rather than an arena company, on a slight slope, including some mirrors- 18k. Was quoted 28k by a couple of companies

We had a 20x40 done in the summer.... Also on a slope. It cost 12,000. We have fenced it ourselves with wooden posts and electric fencing and i sourced the sand. Quotes from contractors were coming in at 36,000 and i just don't have that budget. I am very happy with it. Hasn't flooded and rides well now the sand has settled. We used a a friend of a farmer who did groundworks.

25 x 50 had to level a 12m drop, topped with silica sand and carpet fibre.

£40k

I’d say anywhere between £30-£40k now . Just do your homework , there are a lot of cowboys out there .

We did ours with the help of a contractor. Came in about £18k. Silica sand was about £5k I think. Expensive but you need it!

Ask to view other arenas that they have made and speek to the owners to find out what they think of the contractor and arena. As said above there are a load of cowboys out there and what may look nice may not stand up for very long.

somewhere between 15-18k, including levelling out and a new bank created. Its the surface that can really cost depending on what type you go for. Ended up at over 40k with surface included.

Oh, and how could I forget, DON'T DO THIS! (My old arena at my previous house.) www.cheapmanege.weebly.com Learn from my mistakes!

I was quoted 25-30k so didn’t bother. I Decided that 25k would go along way to pay for lots of arena hire at a lovely local indoor!!
