Choose an arena footprint around the way you ride, the available ground and the space needed outside the fence. Blacktail lists perimeter kits in 80x120, 120x200 and 140x240 sizes.
The kit supplies the arena perimeter. Ground preparation, base and riding surface are separate parts of the project.
80x120: the smaller footprint
An 80x120 arena covers 9,600 square feet inside its rectangular footprint. It is the smallest standard arena size in the range.
Stake the perimeter and walk the planned exercises before ordering. Include room outside the arena for access and maintenance.

Gates and custom layouts
The arena packages include drive and walk gates. Confirm the quantity, clear opening widths and locations for the selected kit.
Ask about a custom footprint when the standard sizes do not fit the ground. If the project is a circular training pen, compare the separate round-pen kits.
