No one wants a canceled show and most will be willing to pay for an alternative place to go. Be sure to let them know about you! Is There Any Assembly Required or Is It Shipped Ready To Go? Your Equestrian Arena Raincover is shipped rolled up on a pallet, and will require off-loading the truck. A standard Dressage size arena cover of approximately 72ft x 200ft will weigh about 500 lbs., and a larger 100`x 200`cover will weigh about 750 lbs., so having equipment to off load the truck will be helpful. How Do I Install It? The pallets should be moved into the arena, where it can be unpackaged, unrolled, and stretched out over the arena. You many need several extra people for the initial installation— your excited clients or trainers, will no doubt want to help. Remember, you do this once and have a problem solved for Years to come! What About The "TarpMate Air Roller"? The TarpMate Air Roller may arrive on a separate shipment. You will need a portable leaf blower (not included) to inflate the roller tube. Once the tarp is fully stretched out on the arena, you can unpack the TarpMate Air Roller, and inflate it with a portable leaf blower. Position the roller at one end of the tarp, about 10ft from the end of the arena, so you can fold the end of the tarp over the roller, tucking in the end so that you can start rolling up the cover. Roll the cover up to the opposite end of the arena where you will want to store it during the rainy season. Secure the roller so it does not unroll on its own. How Do I Use It To Prepare For Rain? It is so easy! When you anticipate rain, you can unroll the tarp back over the arena footing, and secure with sandbags or to the perimeter arena fence posts to keep it snug and protected. Then, let the rain come— your arena is protected and going to be good and dry when the deluge is over! Is The TarpMate Air Roller Easy To Use? The TarpMate Air roller for your Covermaster Equestrian Arena Raincover System is very easy to use. After the initial set up, we recommend a minimum of two people to unroll the cover over the arena. If more people are available it will speed up the process for rolling it back up, especially if there is rain remaining on the cover after it rains. Is Covermaster Easy To Use and Store? The equestrian riding arena cover system can be stored at the end of the riding arena during the rainy season, so that it can be deployed at a moment’s notice. However, when you are anticipating weeks of great weather, the rolled up cover and TarpMate Air together, can be deflated into a long flat sausage. At this point it can be folded or rolled up, strapped and carefully be removed from the arena to a clean storage area that is not exposed to the sun. When rain is once again in the forecast, bring the system back into the arena, unfold or roll out the flat sausage, then inflate the TarpMate Air roller with the raincover on it. Once inflated, you can then position the system at the end of the arena and roll it back out as needed. What Is The Cost for a Typical Dressage Arena? Remember, this is so much more Affordable than an Indoor arena!!! Pricing is based on square footage of material required for an arena. The based width of most raincover material is 12`wide, and we fabricate the covers by heat sealing sections together. Standard width sizes on our Raincovers are fabricated in 12' increments. Finished sizes are slightly narrower due to seaming. Additional Charges will apply for non-standard widths. A typical Dressage Court is 20m x 60m, (65.6`x 197`) Therefore the closest standard size without customization would be 72`x 197`. Estimated price would be between $3000 – $5500 depending on level of Material— so much less costly than an indoor arena! A larger standard size 108`x 200`cover will be in the range of $4000 - $9000. We offer TarpMate Air Rollers in two standard sizes of 75` for about $1900, and a 95`Roller for $2200, and custom length rollers are available. Please contact Covermaster for a no-charge quotation based on your requirements. Is There A Choice Selection For The Equestrian Raincover System? Yes there are three levels of material from our Raincover Max industry standard, to Raincover Premiere light weight, to our premium Raincover Ultra cover.

What exactly is a Covermaster Arena Protection Cover?

It is a large, custom-made tarp that rolls out across an outdoor riding arena to keep the footing clean and dry, the same proven concept as a baseball field tarp pulled out for a rain delay. Covermaster, Inc. builds the system around three raincover grades — Raincover Max™ (SKU RCM), Raincover Ultra™ (SKU RCU), and Raincover Premier™ (SKU RC600) — paired with the Tarpmate AIR™ Roller (SKU Tpmt-AR) for deployment. As the company puts it, "Similar to a baseball field tarp that is pulled out for the rain delay, the same concept works exceptionally well for horse riding arenas." It is engineered as an economical alternative to building a covered riding arena, "at a fraction of the cost and time."

Who builds it, and how long have they done this?
Covermaster, Inc. has been manufacturing sport-surface covers for athletic facilities since 1969, serving baseball, softball, football, soccer, golf, cricket, rugby, and equestrian venues worldwide. That five-decade pedigree in protecting big-league turf is exactly what they bring to the arena: the equestrian raincover line is purpose-built from the same field-tarp technology trusted by groundskeepers around the world. You can reach the company toll-free, internationally at +, or by.

What is the cover actually made of?

The flagship Raincover Ultra™ is woven Warp 10 / Weft 8, 1400 Denier fabric at a minimum 5.0 oz/sq.yd., with tensile strength of 210 lbs. (warp) and 192 lbs. (weft), finished with UV-stabilizing Shield-Tek™ coating technology for the long outdoor life an arena demands. A reconfigured weave count gives the cover a more stable base and 100% sunblock "to keep the turf cooler," and the low-friction surface resists dirt accumulation. Color options include White/Silver to minimize heat buildup, or Silver/Black, which can be run silver-side-up to reduce heat or black-side-up to draw warmth in cold climates.

How does the system handle and install?

Every cover carries exclusive SUR-Grip™ Vinyl Reinforced handles — billed as the strongest in the industry — with a center grommet at 10-foot spacing that spreads the load more evenly across the fabric. The Raincover Ultra™ is the industry's strongest core raincover yet runs "over 200 pounds lighter than other available covers," and the Tarpmate AIR™ inflatable roller lets a large, custom cover "easily be installed and removed by only a few people." Covermaster's Thomas Bell sums up the speed: a crew "can get the cover rolled out and into place in a Flash!" The Raincover Ultra™ carries a Twenty-Four (24) Month Pro-Rated Warranty covering materials and workmanship.

Who is using these covers right now?

The covers protected the 2025 Big 12 Equestrian Championship at TCU's Bear Creek Farms in Burleson, Texas, where Covermaster delivered two 125 x 300-foot Raincover Ultra™ sections and two 95-foot Tarpmate AIR™ Rollers so March rain couldn't stop competition. Elite private barns rely on them too: Flintridge Riding Club in La Cañada Flintridge, CA covers a 20,000 sq ft arena plus a 75-foot diameter ring through the March-to-December rainy season, and USEF Team Member and USDF gold-medal dressage rider Kristina Harrison has been a supporter for 12-plus years. Custom covers have been made for dressage courts, jumping, rodeo arenas, and lunging pens across the USA and Canada.

How much does it cost and how do you order?

Pricing is based on square footage. A cover close to a standard dressage court (about 72' x 197') runs roughly $3,000 to $5,500 depending on material grade, while a larger 108' x 200' cover ranges from about $4,000 to $9,000 — a fraction of the cost of building a permanent covered arena. Because every arena is sized differently, covers are made to order in custom dimensions; contact Covermaster, Inc. toll-free at or to spec your arena and choose between Raincover Max™, Raincover Ultra™, or Raincover Premier™.
