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.
