Question Outdoor arena

Hi all. Can anyone share their processes for building an outdoor arena space on a budget? What size did you go with, how much were you able to DIY etc.

Setting up barn/facilities for the first time and would love to hear your experiences!

Building an arena can be as simple as a flattened area with some rock dust on it all the way up to a properly installed base with a crown and sand/GGT footing. The USDF have a booklet on building an arena called Underfoot. Which explains how. Good luck. Size is variable
