Friendship Equestrian Recover
The Rundown
Friendship Equestrian Center (FEC), a boarding and training facility in upstate New York, has an 80 ft x 200 ft fabric riding arena used for year-round training, riding and dressage practice, originally installed in 2004. After a short time using the original building, the staff and customers at FEC noticed mildew growth along the walls and ceiling of the arena. As the mildew problem worsened over time and some microtears in the building started affecting the climate inside, staff knew it was time to replace the cover on the building.

Testimonials
Amazing amount of light.
You stand inside and have this amazing amount of light. It’s hard for me to imagine that anyone would want to have a metal roof over them.
The tripper works just as planned – which basically doesn’t ever happen.
The building is working out better than we thought it would. The tripper is supported from the frame and works just as planned – which basically doesn’t ever happen.
The Legacy construction crew was very professional and courteous.
Because of our soil issues, we simply couldn't afford to construct a more traditional building. The concrete costs made a more traditional building cost prohibitive. The lightweight design of our Legacy building allowed us to reach a compromise between soil conditions and cost. Regarding the design and construction phases of the building, I can say that the process went exceptionally well. When I made eleventh-hour changes to the job, Legacy handled them with ease. They finished the job well ahead of schedule, worked safely, and followed our stringent safety requirements to the letter.
