When people think about building new riding arenas, they often focus on size and shelter. But for horse owners, trainers, and equestrian facilities across Western Canada, consistency is everything. Weather, wind, snow, heat, and smoke can all interrupt training schedules and limit how often horses can be worked safely and effectively. That’s why more equestrians are choosing post-frame riding arenas —practical, cost-effective buildings designed for reliable, year-round riding.
At Integrity Post Structures, we specialize in designing and building post-frame equine facilities that work as hard as you do. From indoor riding arenas to barns, tack rooms, and fully integrated equine facilities, our structures are built around the realities of horse care and rider safety.
Why Post-Frame Works Best For Riding Arenas
Post-frame construction has earned its reputation for equestrian facilities – and for good reason. Its customization, flexibility, speed of construction, durability, and cost efficiency make it ideal for everything from small private barns to large commercial riding arenas.
One of the biggest advantages of post-frame construction is clear-span interiors. With no interior load-bearing columns, riding arenas remain wide open and unobstructed—allowing horses and riders to move freely and safely. Tall sidewalls accommodate proper arena clearances, large overhead doors, and ample vertical space for ventilation and lighting.
Custom Buildings Designed Around the Way You Ride
Every equestrian operation is different, which is why Integrity riding arenas are custom-designed rather than built from a one-size-fits-all template. The layout, dimensions, and features of your arena are planned around your discipline, the number of horses you work with, and how the space will be used day to day.
Built to support the daily demands of equestrian use, Integrity riding arenas are engineered with both performance and longevity in mind. From managing airflow and moisture to protecting the building envelope from wear and tear, every detail is considered. Every Integrity customer has the option of upgrades:
- Gable Vents: promote consistent airflow and help manage heat and moisture inside
- DuraColumns: our premium concrete post foundation, eliminating wood contact with the ground and preventing rot
- Eavestroughing: directing water away from the structure to protect the foundation and surrounding footing
- Insulation Package: designed to control heat loss and gain, ensuring consistent indoor comfort, energy savings, and year-round value
- Kick Wall: The simplest way to add long-term value to your arena, engineered for durability, clean lines, and a professional finish
