Horse Arena Shade Screens & Wind Panels

Shade Screens for Covered Arenas

Shade screens along one side of a covered horse arena in Rancho Cordova

A covered arena keeps the rain off, but low morning and evening sun still comes straight in under the roof, along with wind and dust. Arena owners call us for fabric screens that hang between the columns and take the glare and the weather off the footing, the horses and the riders.

Each screen is measured to its bay, cut and sewn in our Sacramento shop from breathable shade fabric, and tensioned to the existing steel.

Questions Arena Owners Ask

Usually, yes. Screens and panels are made to fit the bays of the existing structure and attach to its columns and framing. We check the frame, measure each opening and recommend a fabric based on how much sun, wind and visibility you want.

Breathable mesh lets air move through, so the arena stays ventilated, and the fabric filters light instead of blocking it. Fabrics vary in how much sun they stop, and we help you choose based on your exposure.

Breathable mesh shade fabric blocks most UV while letting air through. Vinyl-coated polyester is waterproof and easy to wash down. Solution-dyed acrylic holds its color in full sun. We match the fabric to the exposure and to how the space is used.

Yes. If the structure and hardware are sound, new fabric restores the shade for far less than a new structure. We inspect the attachment points first and tell you whether a re-cover or a replacement makes more sense.
