a time-lapse of an arena build , access was very tight so all materials had to be tipped on the clients drive way and reloaded into dumpers , makes it interesting.
My Area is Very out of level and needs to be brought to to grade with gravel. Would I dig my trenches in the gravel sub grade once its leveled? Also what is the top membrane you use between the crushed stone and the footing?
Why did you dig down to put the arena instead of building it up? You just made a retention pond with fabric and sand over it. At that point any water in the surrounding area is going to gather in the arena now
I'm sorry but you are completely wrong , there is a drain every 4m , which leaves the arena far right , the ground was sloped so we had to cut it out to make it level , it's never held any water since we installed it , you seem to have little knowledge, about levels and drainage . Good day to you.
Hard to say Maddie, it would depend on the ground levels , what access to site is like , how far you are away from Quarries and equestrian grade silica Quarries, lots of variables, but probably £30k upwards
Hello, great job, I read in a comment that area is completely level, is the trench for the pipe level too or how much slope you do on those? Thank you.
Thank you for your response, I am trying to do an arena just like the ones you do but do it myself. How many cm of base do you install? here we use stone #57 clean for the base. Do you recommend that? bigger stone? same stone for the pipes? Thanks for your help. Your videos are really helping me out.
@@hillbill450 I called the quarry closed by, they have a stone called #57 clean with no fines but they told me does is not suitable because it doesn't compact well. But i see all your videos and you use clean stone with no fines clearly so that the pipes also don't get contaminated inside. Are you familiar with #57? is that suitable to do the base like you do it there in the UK? Thank you very much you are really helping me out here.
@@hillbill450 thanks so much for getting back to me, we had rubber crumb when we lived in UK, we are in Queensland so the temp doesn’t drop much below 20 degrees in winter. I think we may need river sand.
@Holly Berry if you use sand without fibre in it, it will ride deep and when it dries out , it will blow away, or end up in the corners , you can buy bales of fibre , spread it out on the levelled sand and rotovate it into the sand to stabilise it, make sure the sand is very damp when doing this
Hiya I'm from Ireland looking at doing an arena in the spring time can you tell me is it OK justvto finish with the fibres worked into the sand and not to use the rubber?
That is a beautiful arena!
Pretty to watch,nice clean tidy work all the wat through.Top Job
Super nice. Great video

Do you put a crown on it, or not bother as you have sufficient base and drainage?
Its completely level , plenty of drains under there
Hello can you please go through the layers in this video please from base to rubber chipping

Have you got trimble on the digger or how is the laser working in the corner?
We had a trimble receiver on the bucket, we now have idig
how much would this cost in north west england for the exact same arena? btw this is amazing!!

@@hillbill450 thanks for letting me know😊☺️
What would this sort of area cost for this spec ?
@andrewdennis5771 If you had to ask then you can't afford it.
Looks very decent arena. What is the measurement.
20x40 meters
Hello, great job, I read in a comment that area is completely level, is the trench for the pipe level too or how much slope you do on those? Thank you.
Yes it's level , drainage is sloped to the far end , run into a bigger pipe that takes it to a stream at the bottom of the field

@@Ndiazbacci base needs to be 150mm thick minimum. 40-50mm clean stone no fines , gravel around drainage pipes

All are stone is pretty angular , so it locks together , so maybe there stone round like a gravel , which Will not compact
Hi Steve is this the 3rd up load of that job? thanks
Yes they keep kicking it off
Was that 20x40 metric?
20m x 40m
How much a job like this will costs? Roughly? Thanks
Depends on location and spec
Thanks!

Building an arena at the moment in Australia, what was the top surface you used?
It's rubber chip, but more important to use a fibresand as your surface and rubber is used to help not freeze in the winter
