Our standard coverage rate is based on 2 specific footing materials; coarse fill sand, and shredded wood products mixed with a coarse sand. We do not recommend ArenaPro for footings containing concentrations of ag-lime, soil, or rubber.
The biggest factor that effects coverage rate is how fine your surface is. It is critical to note that sand footings range anywhere from coarse, to fine, to almost a powder. The finer and deeper the sand, the more product will be needed to cover the particles. Because sand footings are the most common footing, they also present the widest range of variation. ArenaPro attaches to particles in the footing. Finer sands simply contain more particles that need to be covered. In some cases it may be more economical to order a few loads of coarse fill sand, than to treat ultra fine sands for dust control. In most areas you can have a dump truck of coarse sand shot into your arena for about $350.00.
The formula for determining how much ArenaPro you need is:
Arena Square Footage x Depth in Inches / 2000 = *Drums Needed (then round up)
Example: 5000 square foot arena with a 4" coarse sand footing would need 10 drums.
(5000 x 4 =20000/2000 = 10) ------------- (Drums x 55 = Gallons Needed)
This formula is intended to give the amount of product needed to load the footing and provide dust control for 1 to 2 years. Small maintenance applications will keep your footing dust free indefinitely.
