Question 2

How is the Sundance Dressage Arena different from the Pyramid or Wellington Arenas?

Accepted Answer

The Sundance Dressage Arena is our best seller. Along with the Pyramid Dressage Arena, it can be weighted down for extra wind resistance. The Sundance, Pyramid, and Wellington dressage arenas are designed with molded, one-piece rail cones with set-in troughs. This makes set up and tear down easy, and it allows the rail to pop out for safety. The Sundance dressage arena and Wellington dressage arena rails are 1.5” wide x 5” tall, and the Pyramid rails are 2” wide x 6” tall. Visually, the Pyramid and Sundance dressage arenas have rounded curves on rail cones, while the Wellington dressage arena has a block-style cone.

Question 5

What is the lifespan of my dressage arena?

Accepted Answer

Most Premier dressage arenas feature molded, one-piece rail cones made of extremely durable, high density polyethylene. This is the same material recycling bins are made of. Materials are engineered with impact modifiers and extra UV protection so they won’t shatter or fade. The first Premier dressage arena installed over 20 years ago is still standing beautifully today!

Question 6

How do I maintain my dressage arena?

Accepted Answer

Premier Equestrian dressage arena maintenance is easy! Dressage arenas are made from sturdy PVC and high-density polyethylene. This material is UV treated for sun and impact. Aside from a thorough cleaning from time to time, your arena is basically maintenance free. To clean your arena use water and a mild detergent with a sponge or soft cloth as abrasives may scratch the finish. Melamine foam sponges work great! (Mr. Clean® Magic Eraser) To get out stubborn stains use mineral spirits followed by a water rinse. Go lightly when using mineral spirits—it can damage the finish.
