Drainage is also a major arena construction component that is very often overlooked or deemed unnecessary.
For reliable arena performance in all weather conditions, proper drainage is essential. Traditional arenas use a sloped, compacted base to direct water to one side or corner. While this works for temporary, private setups, heavy rains or soft, consistent rainfall can lead to waterlogged surfaces, limiting usability.
To ensure your arena drains evenly, a comprehensive drainage solution like an All-Weather Drainage Blanket is recommended. This system combines a clean stone layer with perforated pipes, allowing water to flow vertically through the surface. This advanced setup not only prevents waterlogging and maintains consistent footing across the arena but also offers an eco-friendly advantage by enabling water harvesting and recycling for surface reuse.
