Hi
We have a 300x150 indoor arena available to use, but as more folks utilize it, it gets really dusty.
There is both water and electricity available, so am thinking about installing an overhead lawn type irrigations system for dust control.
Anyone ever done this?? Any ideas?
Thanks
Mike

Hay,
I used to board at a stable that did this it seemed to work, Also something called arena RX is good also. You can fine this in the EQQUS catelog.
Happy Trails,

With careful placement of the system this should work Mike. I would be careful about how I put it up as the system will have to completely drain between uses if it gets below freezing in the barn.

The management did this in our barn. The only caution I would give you is to discuss the drainage in cold weather with the supplier. Because you will be installing the sprinkler heads upside down, there could be a problem with them draining correctly. We did have that problem.
