Manège Build Checklist

Thinking of having a Manège installed?

There are many things to consider when having a Manège installed, so we have put together a list of things to think about, before you take the plunge!

Planning Permission

Hire a Planning Consultant or submit the planning application yourself?  We work alongside a planning consultant who we would be more than happy to recommend, should you choose us to build your Manège.

Location

Access, levels, orientation, utilising/maximising the site – we offer a free, no obligation site visit. During this visit we will use our expertise/experience to establish the best location for your Manège.

We can also identify and resolve any potential problems which can be addressed prior to work commencing.

Size

Discipline? Budget? – 20m x 40m, 20 x 60m, 30m x 40m, or we can install a bespoke Manège to suit your specific requirements.

Surface

Sand/Fibre, Sand/Rubber, Waxed or Standalone? – We would recommend you view and ride on, (if possible), the different surfaces, there are so many to choose from, but it comes down to personal choice at the end of the day.

Perimeter Fencing

Curved Corners? – Easier to maintain when levelling the Manège. No Fencing? – Will you be riding youngsters?

Choosing a Contractor

Do your research! Look for an Experienced, Reputable, Insured Contractor. Look for Customer Reviews and speak to fellow Equestrians! Installing a Manège is an Investment, not only financially, but in yourself and your horse – choose carefully, you want to get this right!

Experienced

We have over 20 years’ experience in Equestrian Construction. We have built literally hundreds of Manèges! Manegès for Businesses, Competition-level Manegès and Manegès for Leisure Use, in a variety of sizes and surfaces.

Reputable

We submit a written quotation and we won’t charge you 0.01p more! We are Registered at Companies House, VAT Registered and we have an online presence.

Insured

Check your potential Contractor has adequate Public Liability Insurance. We have Public and Product Liability Insurance up to £2.5 million.

Customer Reviews

Look for reviews your potential Contractor has been given – Campion Equestrian have 18, “100% recommend” reviews on our Facebook Page.

Materials & Construction

Not all Manèges are built the same! We only use quality materials and our workmanship is of a very high standard, resulting in an aesthetically pleasing, quality Manège, which will last for years to come. We also use the latest laser grader technology to construct our Manèges, to ensure the best possible result for our Customers’.

There are process photos showing how we construct our Manèges in the Gallery section of our website, to view the photos, please click on the link here.

View Previous Work

View potential Contractors previous work (preferably in person). To put your mind at rest, Campion Equestrian have Customers who would be happy to show you their Manège built by us, (depending on your location) and there are photos of Manèges we have built in the Gallery section of our website, please click on the link here.

Waiting List

You should expect to wait for a reputable Contractor to start your build. We do have a waiting list, (but we think we’re worth waiting for!)

And finally, once your Manège is built – Enjoy!
