The soft geotextile snippets of FSGeoTEX remain active as a cushioning agent for many years, unlike the stiff, thin green textiles or carpet fibers often used in other geotextile footings, which don’t add any cushioning and cannot hold and retain any moisture.

The FSGeoTEX 5*STAR Blend and GoldTEX Premium Blends are $0.33 – $0.48 per square foot, depending on whether you are mixing with three or four inches of qualified sand for your riding surface.

FSGeoTEX synthetic sand additives are not only competitively priced, but our blends are more cost-effective in the long-run, lasting significantly longer and requiring less material overtime to maintain your footing. Use one of our arena footing calculators on the 5*STAR Blend and GoldTEX Premium product pages to determine how much sand additive you’ll need, or contact us to have one of our experts give you a quote.

The selection of the right arena sand is imperative for best performance of the arena footing. For optimum choice, please send us a sand sample of your current sand. When building a new riding arena, we can assist you with the best sand selection, having a network of sand quarries throughout the US we are working with. Please contact us for our recommended sand specification.

Your arena footing is only as good as it’s maintenance. You would need an arena groomer designed for geotextile arena footing with coil tines, adjustable height, leveling blade and lattice roller in the back. Our Platz Max arena drags which are the #1 in the World for over 25 years will properly maintain the sand/geotextile blend footing for many years to come.
