Arena Maintenance is Crucial for Surface Longevity
Why Arena Maintenance Matters
Protect Your Investment and Prolong Your Surface Life
At ELD, we’ve long emphasised to our clients that regular arena maintenance is essential to protect the long-term performance and longevity of your investment.
Just as a vehicle requires more frequent servicing the more it’s driven, the frequency of your arena use directly impacts how often it should be maintained. Heavily used surfaces require more attention than those used occasionally — neglecting this can lead to costly repairs or premature resurfacing.
Extend the Life of Your Arena Surface
On average, a well-constructed arena surface has an expected life of 5 to 7 years, depending on usage and maintenance. With consistent care — both routine and professional — this lifespan can be extended significantly. Regular maintenance helps prevent surface deterioration, protects your base, and ensures a safe and consistent ride for horse and rider.

Daily & Weekly Maintenance Tips
Daily/Weekly maintenance routines are vital. Using the right tools ensures your arena base remains undisturbed.
- Avoid generic implements. Poorly suited equipment can damage the carefully built base beneath your surface.
- Use purpose-built tools. The ELD Arena Spread-a-bar®, designed by Todd Cunningham, is engineered specifically to maintain the quality and integrity of your arena surface.
