Basic to Full Hilt – Roping Arena Colorado Designs

Do you need a roping arena Colorado style? Anything from a basic outdoor arena to one with a roof overhead and all the extras can be yours. Yes, bare bones, add some extras, or go all in—full hilt. Just define what you want for steer roping or even rough stock, personal or event uses. Go simple or deck the halls with cedar paneling.

Pick a Size

Take the basic roping arena of 120 x 240 square feet. This offers plenty of space for residential areas. This roping arena is perfect for practicing year-round. It is designed with the ultimate safety features and versatility. With the roping chute and roping boxes, a catch pen and stripping area, you can start upgrading the project.

More upgrades would include an adjacent horse barn with stalls, tack room, viewing room, and other “necessary” adjuncts. Do you want the boxes inside the arena? Then make it bigger so the runs stay longer. Increase the arena size to 150 x 250 square feet to accommodate some of the extras. How many steers will you accommodate? Do you want a return alley and holding pens?

Similarly, how to the steer get to the chute? Do you need chute extensions with their metal sides to contain the steer?

Expanding the Basic Roping Arena Colorado

Is this for family and friends and how many? Will there be events? If you are serious in your quest, consider expanding to a Team Roping arena and the Calf Roping Arena. Your roping arena is can be open air or enclosed, although the weather outside may keep you away during the intense winter months. Constructing an outdoor arena next to a horse barn gives you options for protection year-round, and it gives you space for feed and hay.

Indoor Roping and Riding Arenas

Rest assured. Your stellar roping and riding indoor arena will be safe for your horses, cattle, and people. Good lighting and ventilation allow for long practice hours all year. Add bleachers, a snack bar/kitchen or lounge, restrooms—whatever facilities enhance your goals. Pole barn architecture allows for all of the essentials you may want in a larger facility.
