RIDING ARENAS

The problem of dusty, drifting sand surfaces with the addition of “deep-riding” has caused some arenas to become unusable during the summer months. Generally, arenas have been kept in service by the copious application of water using water bowsers and sprinklers. For fine sand surfaces that bind with moisture, there is a better, more efficient and labour saving way of watering, - from below the sand surface.
A network of Leaky Pipe® is installed six inches (15cms) below the sand surface. These are linked to an automated supply system to apply moisture direct to the sand itself where it will spread by capillary action. This technique ensures that just the sand is made wet and not the next-door field, building, or timberwork. With the sand kept firm and moist, any rubber toppings will be discouraged from mixing with the sand. This will improve the ride, giving a hardworking, safe surface with minimal maintenence
The best time to install a Leaky Pipe System is during the construction of a new arena where the network can be laid as a part of the layering process. The new sand can then be immediately watered-in to rapidly bind it and render it quickly usable. The system is very efficient and works at relatively low pressure and volume, all that is required is a small water & electricity source.
With the depth of sand being maintained and perhaps the addition of a rubber crumb topping, the Leaky Pipe® System gives years of trouble-free watering, all at the control of a few buttons. During the last ten years, we have installed over eighty of these systems in arenas through the U.K. They really do work. Why not ask us for a reference site near you?
