Our arena sand products have been in the market for over three years. We now have three grades of sand for horse arena surfaces with slightly different properties. There are a number of factors to consider when selecting the correct sand for a horse arena surface. Almost every arena design and local environment is different and factors such as base construction, drainage system, site location and rainfall criteria should all be taken into consideration when choosing a surface material. |

McCallum Bros Ltd supply three grades of sand that will meet most requirements. |
||
EQ1 – A clean white fine sand. This sand grade was originally developed for customers wanting a product similar to grades used in European arenas. This grade can be used with or without other footing materials and is normally applied at 50-75 mm in depth. Has good drainage capability with hydraulic conductivity of 500 mm/hr. EQ2 – A coarser white sand suitable for mixing with other footing materials and all round applications. Has less than 5% shell content and excellent hydraulic conductivity of 652 mm/hr. Is normally applied at 50-75 mm in depth. EQ3 – A mix of sand particles and crushed shell. Can be used “neat’ or can be mixed with other footing materials. The hydraulic conductivity of this product is 1,200 mm/hr. Normal application is at 50-75 mm depth. |

| Availability EQ products are available all year round in the Auckland, BOP, Waikato and upper north island region. |

Application On a standard 40 metre by 60 metre jumping arena, this will require about 180m³, weighing 238 tonnes (8 truck and trailer loads or 24 truck only loads). For a 40 by 60 metre dressage arena you would need about 120m³ of sand, weighing about 158 tonnes (6 truck and trailer loads or 16 truck only loads).The initial depth can exceed target depth75mm however compaction of 3 to 4mm may occur. The density of the sand is 1.32T per metre when the sand is bulked and dry, but this density will increase with compaction. |

| Transport options We can provide cost effective solutions for green field sites, arena renovation and top up projects. |
