Building Strength and Style: A New Steel Frame Riding Arena in Elma, WA
At Zepp Construction, we take pride in delivering durable, functional, and beautiful structures for our Pacific Northwest community. Our latest project — a custom-built steel frame riding arena located in Elma, Washington — showcases our dedication to quality craftsmanship and innovative design solutions that stand the test of time.
This 80′ x 72′ red iron steel riding arena was built to meet the needs of a local horse enthusiast who wanted a wide, open training space with no interior posts. The result? A seamless structure that offers maximum riding room, natural light, and long-lasting strength — all backed by Zepp Construction’s commitment to excellence.
Why Steel Was the Smart Choice
Due to the arena’s remote location and challenging road access, traditional truss deliveries weren’t an option. Instead, we recommended a red iron steel frame system, similar to what’s used in commercial-grade buildings and mills.
Each steel component was delivered in pieces and assembled on-site, allowing us to overcome access limitations while maintaining precision and safety throughout the build. This modular approach made it possible to construct a high-performance arena without compromising on quality or design.
The 72-foot open-span design ensures there are no interior posts obstructing the riding area — providing a clear, spacious environment for training, events, and year-round use.
Built to Last: Quality Materials That Make a Difference
To ensure the arena performs beautifully for decades, we installed:
- 24-gauge metal siding and roofing for superior strength and weather resistance
- A 2-inch insulation and condensation blanket under the roof panels to regulate temperature and reduce moisture buildup
- Precision steel framing that provides unmatched durability and stability
Every detail was chosen to protect the structure against Washington’s variable climate, from rain and wind to sun exposure.
