This impressive 60'×100' covered horse arena in Eatonville, Washington showcases the exceptional craftsmanship that defines Probuilt Metal Buildings. Specifically designed for equestrian enthusiasts in the Pacific Northwest, this 6,000-square-foot equestrian facility combines functionality, durability, and elegant design.
The client, a dedicated horse owner in the Puget Sound region, required a spacious covered arena that would allow for year-round riding regardless of Western Washington's notorious rainfall. Our solution was this 16-foot tall roof-only structure featuring a sleek black metal roof that provides excellent protection while maintaining an open, airy environment.
The building's open-sided design offers several advantages for equestrian activities. Riders enjoy unrestricted access from all sides, excellent natural ventilation, and abundant natural light throughout the day. The absence of walls creates a comfortable training environment while still providing crucial protection from Pacific Northwest precipitation.
Constructed with premium American-made steel, this arena features clear-span engineering with no interior support posts, maximizing the usable riding space. The structure is anchored to a professional-grade concrete pier foundation system, ensuring stability and longevity even in challenging soil conditions common to the Eatonville area.
Located in Pierce County, Eatonville offers an ideal setting for equestrian facilities with its rural character and proximity to major population centers. This horse arena demonstrates why Pierce County property owners choose post-frame construction for their specialized building needs.
The area's terrain and climate present unique challenges that our construction methods address effectively. Eatonville's position near Mount Rainier means variable weather conditions, from heavy rain to occasional snow loads, all of which this arena is engineered to handle.
Every aspect of this equestrian facility was engineered to withstand local weather challenges using our proven construction process. From the precisely calculated roof pitch that optimizes rainwater runoff to the heavy-duty connections that resist wind forces, this arena exemplifies Probuilt's commitment to creating structures specifically adapted to Pacific Northwest conditions.
The black metal roofing not only provides a striking aesthetic but also offers superior durability with a 25-year manufacturer warranty. This low-maintenance material resists mold, mildew, and UV damage—common concerns in the humid Puget Sound climate.
The clear-span design eliminates interior posts that could pose safety hazards to horses and riders. This open layout provides maximum flexibility for training activities, from basic riding lessons to advanced dressage and jumping exercises.
While designed specifically for horse training, this versatile structure can accommodate numerous other applications. The 6,000 square feet of covered space works equally well for agricultural storage, equipment protection, large gatherings, or even light industrial operations.
The roof-only design makes this building particularly suitable for activities requiring maximum airflow and natural light while still providing weather protection. This flexibility ensures the building remains valuable even if the owner's needs change over time.
