Lunge pens and roundpens
with TTE® LUNGE PENELASTIC
Roundpens, lunge pens and lunging areas offer valuable training and exercise opportunities for horses. The special feature of the lunging circle with the TTE® LUNGE PENELASTIC construction principle: the elastic wood layer creates springy movement surfaces that are easy on the joints for daily work with your horses.
At the same time, the TTE® LUNGE PENELASTIC can be used in any weather due to its high drainage capacity.

TTE® LUNGE PEN ELASTIC: ergonomic lunging in all weather conditions.

The robust paddock grid
The TTE® paddock panels are connected horizontally and vertically with the aid of solid pins. It is not possible to break off individual paddock plates. In addition, the 2:1 format and a total weight of 27 kg/m², in combination with the intelligent bond, create an extremely load-bearing snowshoe effect.
This enables load distribution over a wide area, allowing lunge pens, paddocks, riding arenas and exercise areas to be built easily and made level without a substructure.

Lunge pen construction without substructure
Conventional lunge pen construction relies on a gravel base layer of up to 60 cm in height for a load-bearing structure in order to be able to permanently absorb the point loads of the horses' hooves.
The TTE® construction principle is different: The horizontal load distribution of the solid TTE® grids works according to the principle of a snowshoe: point loads are distributed areally through the composite of the panels, which significantly reduces the demands on the substructure.

The advantages of the on-top construction
- No bathtub effect - lateral drainage even in the event of heavy rainfall
- Lower costs due to material savings, shorter construction time and elimination of disposal costs
- Self-construction possible
- Preservation of natural soil life
- Construction possible in almost all soil conditions
- Simpler approval, as there is hardly any input of foreign material
Joint-friendly lunging
in all weathers
The TTE® LUNGE PENELASTIC construction offers springy lunging conditions thanks to the elastic wood layer that is easy on the joints. And this is due to the high drainage capacity in all weather conditions.
TTE® LUNGE PENELASTIC
The TTE® LLUNGE PENELASTIC construction principle relies on a elastic wood layer and does not require a substructure.
Drainage
- Powerful, vertical surface drainage
- + Lateral drainage due to on-top construction
- Year-round usability
Humidification
- Re-moistening of the tread layer due to the water storage capacity of the elastic wood layer
- Saving on watering costs
- Protection of the horses‘ respiratory tract and lungs
Areal load distribution
- Load distribution over a wide area due to horizontal and vertical bonding
- Elimination of the substructure
- Reduction of effort and costs
- No soil compaction
Evenness
- Dauerhafte Ebenheit durch robuste Verzahnung
- Kein Aufstellen einzelner Platten möglich
Joint protection
- Optimal shock absorption and energy recovery due to resilient elastic wood
layer - Protection of the horse‘s joints, without overloading tendons and ligaments
Frost protection
- Heat generation by macro- and microorganisms in wood and topsoil
- Insulating effect of the wood chips
- Faster thawing of ice and snow
Preservation of soil life
- No excavation of the living soil zone
- Preservation of important functions such as e.g. soil loosening
- Simpler approval, as hardly any foreign material is introduced
- Residue-free dismantling possible
No worries about the wood!
The wood chips of the elastic wood layer rot over the years - but at a much slower rate due to the stored moisture and the exclusion of oxygen. The raw fibre remains intact and continues to guarantee the high evenness, shock absorption and water permeability. The elastic wood layer does not need to be replaced.
Over 20 years of satisfied customers confirm this natural construction method.

Ergonomic lunging
by concave depression
Our expert tip for your lunging circle:
For even more ergonomic lunging, we recommend the use of a plate. It compensates for the horse's inclination so that the musculoskeletal system is evenly loaded. The front and hind legs are not compressed more on the inside and not overstretched on the outside.
