Our Go-To for Irrigation!
Zoe had previously encountered Hortech in 2005 for irrigation on her arena in Essex, nearly 20 years later the irrigation still works perfectly and has rarely had any break downs, the system is easy to use and drain down in the winter months too.
As the new arena at Lambley House was quite a lot more extensive than Zoe's old one, Wayne & the team came out to make a plan to get the best out of the new borehole system to accurately keep the new surface in top condition. This is made up of ten high pressure sprinklers around the outside that work at 180° and two in the middle that work at 360°. These all ensure even coverage of the area so that the ultimate riding conditions are maintained.

More recently on completion of the lunge arena, irrigation was also required to keep the sand and fibre surface in good shape. This time the needs were a little different given that this space is covered and requires year-round irrigation, the team designed another fantastic system. With six sprinklers working three-at-a-time on a lesser pressured system, again achieving maximum coverage of the area and with double insulation around all pipes and fittings the system can withstand even the coldest of temperatures. The B&M team were also part of the action building the pump shed out of some leftover roof insulation panels to ensure the tank and electric system are also frost-free.
