Key Design Elements for Your Riding Arena
When planning equestrian metal buildings, we prioritize practical layouts, structural strength, and long-term usability. Our goal is to develop a space tailored for daily routines and special events, promoting safety and comfort for both horses and riders.
- Layout and Functionality: A riding arena must support activities from training to care. We take a comprehensive approach, incorporating spaces for grooming, horse stalls, tack rooms, wash bays, and equipment storage. Additional features such as restrooms and lounging areas ensure efficiency and accessibility.
- Structural Durability: Our steel structures are designed to withstand daily wear and extreme weather, using high-quality materials. This ensures your arena can handle heavy snow, high winds, and long-term use, safeguarding your investment and your animals.
- Aesthetic Appeal: Our designs blend timeless style with modern functionality, creating spaces that are both attractive and practical, enhancing the experience for riders and horses while adding property value.

Building Your Riding Arena with Metal
Armstrong Steel offers various customization options to meet your specific needs.
- Versatile Layout and Sizing: Steel building systems allow for customizable sizes and layouts, accommodating leisure riding, training, and competitions.
- Open-Span, Column-Free Design: Our buildings feature open-span framing, eliminating interior columns for better visibility and movement, enhancing safety and versatility.
- Enclosed or Covered Arenas: Choose fully enclosed arenas for all-weather use or partially covered spaces for seasonal activities, protecting horses, riders, and spectators.
- Dedicated Stables and Barns: Custom stall designs offer proper drainage and ventilation, with flexible layouts for wash bays, tack rooms, and feed storage.
- Comfort and Climate Control: Our structures can be insulated with spray foam, fiberglass, or insulated panels, enhancing comfort year-round. We integrate ventilation systems and strategically placed windows or skylights to maximize natural lighting and air circulation, optimizing energy efficiency.

Benefits of Steel Structures for Riding Arenas
Here are additional reasons why steel buildings are ideal for equestrian facilities:
- Durability: Resistant to pests, fire, and harsh weather, our buildings use Galvalume-coated roof panels that resist rust for decades.
- Compliance and Assurance: We design to meet local codes, backed by a 50-year structural and 40-year paint warranty, providing peace of mind.
- Customization: With options for roofing and wall materials in various colors and finishes, you can create a cohesive, appealing design that complements your property.
