How much does it cost to build a 20m x 40m outdoor riding menage, with something like a silica sand or rubber chip surface, deep enough for showjumping and dressage, with all the proper drainage etc, floodlit, post and rail fenced with gate? Like roughly? Preferably in uk pounds. And i know it would probably require planning permission, i just want to get an idea of how much it costs. Thanks :)

Two things to determine, how much levelling would be needed and what sort of soil are you on? We converted a tennis court into an arena 20 x 40 last year so there was not much ground work to do. The railings were already around the outside (tennis court was in the field) and as there were drains already under the court that cut back on the cost. We provided and did what little railing that was needed and the entry gate. We did have stone put on the broken up surface of the court then a membrane, sand and rubber chips on the top. The total coast was about £17,000 which did include some other ground work - scalpings for and building a track to the arena. It also included the boards to hold the surface in place. I had a local firm do the work as one of the men use to do arenas for a big company. I did get quotes from several companies for the same in surfacing and they ranged from £24,000 - £32,000
