The perfect ground reinforcement system for equestrian sport

  • without earth excavation
  • on any desired subsurface
  • shock absorbing and therefore easy on the joints
  • guaranteed dewatering
  • etc.

See here how the TTE system is used for building riding arenas










The starting situation: a green meadow. This is where a TTE riding arena should be built
Step 1: A flat earth surface. This is simply to remove unevenesses in the field, NO EXCAVATION WORK!
Step 2: A layer of about 4-5 cm round gravel is laid on the surface as a compensation and drainage layer. Use a finisher on large areas
Use a wheel loader and also distribution by hand for small areas
Fill the finisher using a wheel loader
Step 3: Laying of the TTE grid plates can be done comfortably standing thanks to use of laying hooks
The surface can already be driven over using a light vehicle and wide, low profile tyres, to pull back pallets for example
Step 4: Fill the TTE grid plates with fine round gravel or washed sand
When filling using a wheel loader it best to drive over a somewhat higher layer of already added materials (installation overhead)
The filling material is then removed at the upper edge of the TTE grid plates
Step 5: Apply the layer which takes the impact of the hooves and attach a border/fence
It is clear to see that the TTE riding arena is somewhat raised above the surrounding area because one has dispensed with earth excavation.
Excess rain water can seep out at the sides through the gravel layer.
The TTE riding arena can now be used.
Maintenance of and care for the riding arena includes regular levelling of the height of the layer which takes the impact of the hooves using a track planer or leveller, as well as removal of horse droppings and greenery.
A layer taking the impact of the hooves can best be ridden over when the moisture content is correct. Do not forget to water the arena.
Previously – afterwards: The option of building straight onto existing surfaces means that the TTE system is also very good for reorganising/reconditioning existing riding arenas.
The starting situation: an existing riding arena with poor water drainage and a worn out layer which takes the impact of the hooves made out of wood chips
The existing surface was levelled and covered with a separating mesh. It is then covered with a thin layer of round gravel, covered with TTE grid plates and then filled.
