1.) What is the actual size of your arena?
Reason: Not all companies use the inside dimensions of the horse arena size. Some companies use the outside dimensions of the roping arena layout, including the roping boxes or return alley
2.) Are the boxes inside or outside of the roping arena's layout?
Reason: If the boxes are on the inside of the roping arena's layout this will shorten the run.
3.) How heavy, how tall, and how long are the rodeo equipment panels?
Reason: Make sure you are comparing rodeo equipment items accurately. When asking you can question weight, or you can compare gauge. Know that the higher the number on the gauge the lighter the rodeo equipment panel will be.
4.) Know the difference between painted steel, powder coated steel, and galvanized steel rodeo equipment.
5.) Ask about the steer lead up to the chute and what comes with the roping arena layout packages.
Reason: Most standard roping arena layout packages come with panels behind the roping chute. Chute extensions have butt bars and sheet metal sides to keep cattle contained and ready for the next run.
6.) Do Posts come with the roping arena layout packages or will you need to provide them?
Reason: You cannot set up long runs of fence and keep them from falling over without some sort of support. No arena should ever be set up without setting rodeo equipment posts. To not put posts in your arena is dangerous for spectators and livestock.
7.) Details of delivery and setup.
Reason: You need to know what method the company you purchased your arena from will be delivering, ie: 18 Wheeler, gooseneck, or common carrier; So you can know if they have the ability to get the rodeo equipment into your property.
8.) Who is responsible for unloading the truck?
Reason: If it is your responsibility then you need to be prepared with help and rodeo equipment to unload.
The Difference Between "Painting/Powder Coating" and "Galvanized"
Painting/Powder Coating - An organic topping that provides barrier-layer protection. As long as there is no mechanical abrasion of the finish, the painting/powder coating can probably last as long as the galvanizing; but once the coating is damaged and breached and the steel exposed, that exposed steel will rapidly rust.
Galvanized - Galvanization is the process of applying a protective zinc coating to steel or iron, in order to prevent rusting. This means that even if the coating of your roping arena package's panels is scratched or abraded, the exposed steel will still be protected from corrosion. - an advantage absent from paint, enamel, powder coating and other methods. Galvanizing is also favored as a means of protective coating for rodeo supplies like rodeo arena panels because of its low cost, ease of application and comparatively long maintenance-free service life.
