: Coverage vs. Depth of a 2000lb bag of equi-tread.; 1. Choose a site that drains well and if possible has a natural slope for drainage.

: 2. Measure the site and remove the organics. Grass and soil will turn to muck after a good rain. You do not want this contaminating your arena.

: 3. When you have reached a solid base such as clay. Have the area leveled and sloped to 1% grade to the lowest point. Depending on how much you have removed from the site you will need to build it back up with a compactable aggregate such as pit run. This is an inexpensive way to build your subsurface back up to ground level.


: 4. Next you will add 3/8″ road crush or limestone screenings. This layer will take a beating from your horses hooves. This need to be as close to 100% compacted as possible. Sloped to 1% and laser leveled. Depending on the traffic in your arena the road crush should be approximately 4-6″ It may also be called stone dust. You do not want this layer to break up and render your footing too deep.


: 5. You are now ready for Equi-Tread Rubber Mulch. Mix rubber with washed concrete sand or masons sand for good results. These products have minimal fines and will not break down as quickly when mixed with Equi-Tread Rubber Mulch


: 6. Apply Perfect Rubber Mulch to the raked sand. You can mix this in as you go or let the horses do the work. Note the round pen has a 2×6 surround, this helps keep your sand and rubber in place.

: 7. Enjoy a safe and resilient footing for years to come.
