Our Solutions

Horse manege

Equine facilities require reliable, hard wearing surfaces that are cushioned to protect a horses joints, tendons and shoes.

That’s where our solutions can be of assistance. The selection of the correct geotextile grade is critical to the long-term performance. In addition, the construction of any new area should be designed to ensure positive drainage without the potentially harmful clogging of the pores within the geotextile layers.

The construction of walkways, parade areas, rings and much more is incredibly simple with our systems, and they are perfectly suited to forming to any required shape.

Choosing the right solution

We recommend FasTrack woven geotextiles are used between the sub grade and sub base layers. Wrekin Multitrack non-woven geotextiles should be used beneath the sand layer above the granular sub base.

As a guide we suggest the following product specification for the non-woven layer:

  • Light use arenas - Multitrack NW13 Geotextile
  • Light / medium usage - Multitrack NW18 Geotextile
  • High intensity usage - Multitrack SNW40 Geotextile
  • Gallops and extreme usage - Multitrack SNW80 Geotextiles

For guidance only, please check with our sales office for project specific designs.

 

IMPORTANT POINTS TO CONSIDER

  • Ensure the equestian sand used has a low clay content, as this will impede drainage.
  • As the thickness (and mechanical properties) of the geotextile used increases, the rate of permeability becomes progressively lower.
