Designing the Ideal Equestrian Arena with KAMCO®

Built for Performance, Longevity & Local Conditions

At KAMCO® Arenas, we believe building an arena isn’t just about laying a surface — it’s about delivering a tailored, long-term riding solution. From initial site planning to final grading, every element is considered to give you a safe, high-performance space suited to your property, your riding discipline, and Western Australia’s unique conditions.

Planning That Starts on the Ground

Every great arena starts with a proper plan — and that begins with a site visit. Before a quote is issued, we assess:

  • Land slope, soil type, and drainage potential

  • Access points for machinery, floats, and daily use

  • Sun orientation and prevailing wind conditions

  • Intended use: reining, jumping, dressage, groundwork, or mixed

This upfront planning ensures we design an arena that works with your land — not against it.

Engineered Base Layers & Site Preparation

We use laser grading and compacted layers to build a stable, long-lasting foundation. Our arena base typically includes:

  • Deep excavation to remove unsuitable soils

  • Geotextile fabric for layer separation

  • Crushed rock or metal dust compacted in stages

  • Precision laser-graded camber or fall for controlled drainage

Our builds are designed to resist weather, traffic and time — with minimal surface displacement or maintenance headaches.

Surface Options That Work As Hard As You Do

Footing is one of the most important parts of any arena. We offer a range of surface solutions to suit your discipline, usage, and budget:

  • Clean washed sand suitable for general riding

  • Sand and fibre blends for dressage and flatwork

  • Sand and rubber combinations for added cushion and minimal watering

  • Custom blends to reduce dust, enhance drainage, and increase lifespan

We only recommend materials we’ve tested and used ourselves — no fluff, no gimmicks, just proven footing.

Drainage That Keeps You Riding

A well-built arena shouldn’t become a swamp every time it rains. That’s why we integrate smart drainage into every build:

  • Slight camber or crossfall for passive water runoff

  • Subsurface drains or perimeter French drains if needed

  • Base materials that promote filtration and rapid drying

Good drainage protects your footing, your horse’s legs, and your investment. We don’t compromise on this.

Edging, Fencing & Arena Containment

Arena edging keeps your surface where it should be — and fencing adds safety and structure. We offer:

  • Timber board edging with vertical post reinforcement

  • Post and rail, PVC, or steel fencing

  • Wide access gates for floats and equipment

  • Clean transitions between arena, paddocks, and stables

It’s not just about looking tidy — it’s about riding safely, especially during high-speed or technical work.

Post-Construction Care & Support

Once your arena is complete, we don’t disappear. We help you care for it with:

  • Detailed maintenance guides

  • Advice on harrowing, irrigation, and seasonal upkeep

  • Annual check-ins or resurfacing options down the track

  • Long-term guidance as your needs evolve

We stand behind our work and want your arena to perform for years to come.
