MAINTAINING YOUR NEW
DRESSAGE ARENA
To clean your arena use warm water and a mild detergent like dishwashing
soap. Use a large sponge or soft cloth because abrasives may scratch the fin-
ish. To get out real stubborn stains you can use mineral spirits followed
by a water rinse. Be careful because mineral spirits can damage the finish if
left on too long.

stake at this point and place a cor-
ner post over the stake. Tie a string
between the two stakes. This is
your first long side.
10. Layout First Short Side – From
the second corner, measure across
the short side 20 meters. Use the 3-
4-5 formula (figure 2) to get the
corner square. Use a Corner post
and a stake at this point. Now tie a
string between the two stakes. This
is your first short side.
11. Layout Second Short Side – From the first corner, measure across the
short side 20 meters. Use the 3-4-5 formula (figure 2) to get the corner
square. Place a stake at this point and place a corner post onto the stake.
Now tie a string between the two stakes. This is your second short side.
12. Layout Second Long Side – Tie a string between the two stakes to layout
your second long side. You may need to adjust one of the short side stakes
to get the arena square.
Now is the time to overview where your Dressage Arena is located. If you
don’t like the positioning make the necessary adjustments.
ARENA ASSEMBLY
13. Build ut the First Long Side – Place a rail
into the corner post, extending about half way
into the post. Place a line post on the other
end of the rail. Place a stake into the line post.
(Do not hammer stake into ground until entire
arena is set in place.) Place another rail into
the line post. Make sure all rails butt up
against each other for an accurate size arena.
All rails should be touching. Repeat these
steps until you are at the Second Corner.
NOTE: You may need to adjust the position of the second corner after build-
ing out the first long side. This is normal and is due to the variations of
measuring out the arena. When the arena is set-up correctly the measure-
ment from inside rail to inside rail will be 60 meters on the long side and 20
meters on the short side.
3. Deposit Rails and Posts – place the pieces around the outside perimeter
where the arena will stand. This is to get the pieces close to
where they will be installed.
4. ptional Gate Sleeves – If you want to be able to close
your entrance gate you will have to attach the gate sleeves
to the end posts. The gate sleeves hold the rail for your
gate. See figure (1).
LAYOUT YOUR ARENA
5. Find the Center Point – Measure from edge to edge of the long side.
Mark the center point. Measure from edge to edge of the short side and
mark the center point. Bring the center points together to find the center of
your arena.
6. Locate Short Side Line – From the center point measure 30 meters toward
the short side, this is where your short side will line up.
7. Locate Long Side Line – From the center point measure 10 meters toward
the long side, this is where your long side will line up.
8. Locate First Corner – At the point where the two side lines intersect is
the corner of your arena. Insert a stake at this point, make sure the stake is
solidly in the ground with about 18”
exposed. Place a corner post over
this stake. 1” - 2” of the stake should
extend above the post to allow the
guide string room to tie.
9. Locate Second Corner, Layout
First Long Side – From the first cor-
ner stake, measure down the long
side to 60 meters. Keep in mind the
center point of the arena to make the
line square with the footing. Insert a
