When it comes to taking care of your horses, you probably want the best you can buy at a reasonable cost. That is why when it comes to building a new riding arena for your horses, you will want to go with steel. Whether you are looking to expand an existing riding arena or build a new one, steel is the solution to meet your equestrian needs. A riding arena built with steel can be completed within your budget projections. When completed, steel will give you a sturdy building to ensure a safe and healthy living environment for your horses.

More Room to Ride - Many horse owners want as much riding space as possible in their riding arena. With the strength that steel offers, you have lees need for support columns that become obstructions and limit the layout designs for placement of stables, bleachers and other necessary facilities. This gives you the power of choice to make this the best riding arena possible for your equestrian needs (such as having natural lighting for your stables).

Multiple Design Options -    When you build your riding arena with steel, it is even possible for the look of your building to meet local building codes or match the appearance of surrounding structures. This is because steel can be easily enhanced with decorative brick, wood, stucco, glass, aggregate panels, canopies, and many more component options. A variety of eave heights are available to accommodate a wide-range of large or small door sizes and types including: bi-fold, bi-parting, and stacking.  

Less Maintenance - Since steel is highly resistant to water, mold, mildew, termites and other wood-destroying insects, a steel retail building will last longer and require less maintenance than other more conventional structures. Termites account for a high percentage of property damage each year. In recent years, a new breed of termite, the Formosan termite, has been detected throughout the country. These termites destroy wood faster and grow larger colonies than any other known termite species. Pressure treated lumber is not immune to their attack and insurance may not cover the damage they cause.

Weather Protecting - When you build your riding arena out of steel, you are giving it increased strength and durability to withstand adverse weather conditions such as high winds and heavy rain or snow fall. This offers greater protection for your horses and for anyone else within the riding arena. Also, any enclosed areas of your building can have the climate-controlled environment you desire. Riding arenas made with steel are easily insulated to provide resistance to condensation and moisture for a healthy living environment. Because steel is fire-resistant it offers greater protection against fires. A fire in a wooden framed structure can be difficult if not impossible to extinguish. Horse owners do not want to take chances with the lives of their animals. That is why steel is the safer choice in construction material. 

Faster Construction  - Because steel can be pre-drilled, pre-welded and pre-punched at the plant, it can be delivered to your construction site for fast and simple erection. A steel barn can be up and running in a matter of only a few weeks. You will also save money when you build with steel—sometimes up to 40% of the cost compared to construction costs of similar structures.

Most horse owners treat their horses as if they are part of the family. If you are planning to build a new riding arena or just expand an existing one—then consider using steel for your project. Whether it is commercial or for personal use, horse barns constructed of pre- engineered steel are now more popular than ever compared to more traditional pole barns or similar structures. Give your horse a safe, dry and secure place to call home. Make that home one that will last a lifetime. Build it with steel.
