this is a Time lapse video

[@marvincarvin1846]

Interesting, and enjoyable. It would be useful if you narrated one of these, explaining what you are doing and why. You clearly are very knowledgeable at this.

Nice setup 👍

[@MsGroovalicious]

Very nice video! The music just repeated all the way through, though. I had to turn it down after a bit. Thank you so much!!

[@bigdarbs19]

Great job, are those graded/screened road planings?

[@hillbill450]

Yes crushed and screened

[@stevee2452]

You guys make this look easy! What type of membrane do you use under the landrain and directly under the footing?

[@hillbill450]

We now use non woven top and bottom , but use a heavier on on top and glue it together

[@robinholt5661]

Great job👍 how be is this arena and very roughy, how much would an arena like this cost?

[@hillbill450]

It would all depend on the location I'm afraid, but around £35k+vat

[@0ph3liar]

I am wanting to do a DIY Arena but I live on clay land and I know you need excellent draining. Is there anything you recommend me doing that's different to this video?

That looks like it cost more than our house cost!!

[@karebear5880]

how many feet are the posts from each other how tall is it how do you create drainage for the water what do u use under neath of the footing

[@hillbill450]

Hi Kara Maule , posts are 1.8m centres , land drain is plastic perforated pipe and takes water to a soak away in this case

[@karebear5880]

ok so you dig a trench how far do you dig it down ?when u first start? how many feet apart do the trench have to be ? how many trenches should there be for a 100 by 200 areana? are there pea gravel that u use? does th black hose have holes in it? to help it drain? or is it sand? u put down after u dig the trench do u put the plastic down? if so what kind of plastic do u use? how deep do u put the footing? could u make a video on all of this stuff so we can go step by step for people who want to do this them selves and save alot of money please and could u tell us all the details of how far apart things have to be and what u do step by step and go alittle slower for people that are trying to learn thank you for answering my question.

Why do you use so many different layers?

[@hillbill450]

Keeps the drains clear, and stone base layer and riding surface separate, built to last.

[@grantpiper9543]

Hi steve. Im planing on building a 20 by 60m but iv got no drainage. could i simply build it up. Or what do you rekon. Also have less then 20k for the whole thing

[@starswater]

Gee with all of that soil they dig up (and the trees they probably sometimes have to cut down), why not offer to use it to plant more trees? o: Even if it costs a little bit extra.
