Arena lighting and ventilation in North Florida

Arena lighting and ventilation in North Florida: what to know

Light and air decide whether a covered arena is pleasant to ride in. Daylight enters through translucent roof or wall panels and open sides; evening rides need fixtures spread to light the ring evenly without glare in a horse's eyes. Air moves through open walls, eave and ridge vents, and fans in an enclosed building. Dust from the footing travels on that air, so a water line for the surface belongs in the same plan. Wiring runs and vent openings are far easier to place while the frame goes up.
