Clear Span Design

Our horse arenas are engineered with a clear-span layout—eliminating interior columns for an open, uninterrupted riding space that enhances safety and comfort for both horses and riders.
Icon

Maximized Open Space

Unlike any other building material, the strength of steel enables indoor and outdoor horse arenas to be built with “clear span construction.” This means that there is no need for load-bearing walls or columns every few feet. SteelCo Buildings can deliver clear span arenas up to 225 feet wide (almost the length of a football field). This is particularly desirable for indoor riding arenas, because it allows for a large central area free of obstruction, and if bleachers are erected around this central area, there won’t be an obstructed view anywhere, which will please spectators.

01 Discovery & Quote (Week 1)

Begin with an initial project consultation to identify key needs and set clear goals. Our team will develop conceptual designs, prepare preliminary sketches, and provide you with a detailed quote so you know what to expect right from the start.

02 Design Sign-Off (Week 2)

After reviewing the initial designs, you’ll approve the final layout and contract. We’ll then coordinate the fabrication timeline and provide an estimated materials delivery date, ensuring everyone is aligned before proceeding to the next stage.

03 Engineering & Detailing (Weeks 3–5, 3–8, or 3–12)

Our engineers produce stamped permit drawings based on your project’s complexity:

  • Small Projects (Weeks 3–5): Approximately 2–3 weeks for stamped drawings.
  • Medium Projects (Weeks 3–8): Expect 4–6 weeks for simple self-storage buildings.
  • Large/Complex Projects (Weeks 3–12): More intricate designs (crane loads, mezzanines, complex rooflines, climate-controlled units) may take 8–10 weeks.
04 Initial Project Requirements & Site Preparation (Typically 4–8 Weeks)

With approved drawings in hand, your contractor handles permits, sitework, and foundation preparation. This pre-construction phase—securing necessary permits, performing site grading, and forming/pouring the foundation—usually spans 4–8 weeks, setting the stage for a smooth installation.

05 Delivery Preparation

We finalize production schedules and prepare your materials for shipment. Throughout this phase, we maintain open communication, ensuring that you, your contractor, and our team are coordinated for an efficient delivery and installation process.

06 Final Project Installation (Typically 1–3 Months)

Once materials are delivered, your contractor begins the metal building system (MBS) installation. Depending on complexity and site conditions, this can take 1–3 months, during which we remain focused on providing a quality, durable structure that meets your expectations.

07 Walkthrough & Completion

After installation, you’ll join your installer in a thorough walkthrough to ensure everything meets your specifications. Your satisfaction is our priority, and we’ll continue to offer support should you need any future assistance or modifications.

"...Everyone is quick to getting you a quote but not everyone treats you with the respect and professionalism that SteelCo has done. I chose SteelCo because it didn't feel like a "sales guy" calling me and making me rush into something...I made what felt like a thousand changes to my building...but they never sounded upset or made me feel like I was wasting their time..."

Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about our self-storage building kits, customization options, and services.

01

What sizes are common for steel horse arenas?

Common steel riding arenas range from 80×120 feet for small private use to 100×200 feet or larger for commercial or competition setups. All of our arenas can be customized to fit your riding style, whether you’re focused on dressage, roping, jumping, or general training.

02

Are steel horse arenas suitable for all-weather use?

Yes—steel arenas can be fully enclosed or designed as covered arenas to provide year-round protection from sun, rain, and snow. With proper ventilation and optional insulation, your arena can maintain a comfortable environment in varying climates.

03

Can I include add-ons like stalls, tack rooms, or spectator seating?

Definitely. Our pre-engineered metal buildings can accommodate integrated stalls, tack rooms, wash bays, office space, and even bleacher areas for events. Let us know your vision, and we’ll help design the structural layout to support it.

04

Why choose a steel building for a riding arena over wood?

Steel arenas are more durable, require less maintenance, and offer wider clear spans—creating open riding spaces without interior columns. They’re also more resistant to pests, fire, and weather, making them a smart long-term investment for equestrian facilities.

05

What should I consider when choosing between a fully enclosed vs. open-sided horse arena?

Open-sided arenas (roof and frame only) are great for natural airflow and lower cost, making them ideal for milder climates or general training. Fully enclosed arenas offer year-round protection from the elements and are better suited for areas with harsh weather or for professional use. Consider your local climate, riding frequency, and intended use when deciding between the two—our team can help you plan for both comfort and performance.
