Equitex Membranes & Adhesives
Equestrian Direct supply a wide range of woven and non-woven membranes, specifically for use in the construction of Arenas and Gallops.
It is recommended that a woven membrane is used beneath the drainage layer, on top of the subsoil, to reinforce and stabilise the ground works. Then a non-woven membrane is required directly under the riding surface to prevent intermixing of the surface and the drainage layer, whilst allowing water to pass through into the drains, eliminating loss of surface and blocked drains.
Equestrian Direct's knowledgeable team will advise you on the most suitable membrane for your arena. This will depend on type and intensity of use.
It is highly important that the membranes are laid with an overlap and even more so that the upper non-woven membrane is fastened together. As the arena is worked on the surface may move and if the membrane is not fastened together, the surface will slip underneath the membrane and the membrane will lift and move.
Traditionally, the membrane has been fastened through the tedious processes of heat sealing or stitching. Equestrian Direct is proud to introduce their new membrane glue, extra strong glue that does the same job in minutes, eliminating the need for these methods and saving time and money.
