How much does a metal horse arena cost?

The cost of a metal horse arena where you can exercise your horses in the off-season varies greatly with the required size, and the size depends on the purpose. Is it going to be used in a commercial capacity or for your own personal use? Obviously the bigger the better from the horse and owner’s point of view, but one must consider a larger venue requires substantial maintenance, possibly even full-time.

Prefabricated metal horse arenas are preassembled at the factory and shipped as a kit to be reassembled on site, preferably by a professional contractor. This cuts the cost of building tremendously. A steel-framed DIY kit can come in as low as $30,000 for a 70’ by 130’ multi-purpose arena. This compares drastically to the $50,000 price one would pay for more traditional construction. In addition, steel arenas are more easily expandable. Adding sections to a gable end to increase the square footage is child’s play compared to more expensive, traditional construction methods.
