Hi who does anyone recommend for building an outdoor school. I'm in North Devon. Just as a guide what can I expect to pay say, if ground is fairly ,level, reasonable draining and basic top surface. We arnt but it's a base line to work from! Or conversely who perhaps to avoid!

I would call some companies and get some quotes in.

The price will vary wildly depending on the size you choose and the surface.

My arena was put in 10 years ago. Its a 25x50m and it cost us £16k. I expect the prices have changed by now though!

Don't forget you will need planning permission too.

Hi Shazzababs
Thanks, yes in process of ringing round etc but no sustitute for asking the actual owners of schools who they may or may not recommend lol! And yes prices have increased........considerably!

I'm in North Devon and had Witham Vale Arena's do my manege - have been very pleased with it.

Witham vale for me too. Very happy with their work. Professional and reasonably priced. Think it was about 24k for 20x40 rubber and sand and three rails post and rail fencing on sloping ground

Ours is by http://www.charlesbritton.com/ £16K about 16 years ago. Never had any puddles on it and no problems with the surface although it could do with topping up now.

Witham Vale again from me - it has been down 2 years and it rides beautifully. A slide show of our construction: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SINduRclYMs
