Standalone manege surface/ arena companies

We are in the lucky position of being able to put in our own manege. However we're not made of money and it's just me so we can neither afford nor require an expensive surface so I'm looking at the standalone style surfaces.
Can anyone recommend any of these surfaces or which to avoid? It would be used a few times a week and we would prefer minimal maintenance

Well there are pros and cons with all surfaces, depends a lot on your requirements and your budget, but regardless of surface, habing proper foundations and drainage is the key.

Yes, agree that it's all about drainage and the base. What kind of budget do you have? We put in a 20 x 40 school a decade ago, paid about £22,000 and it's still perfect now.

We're literally just starting to get ideas but I'm thinking about £15-20k budget. We know that the drainage is key yes. Not huge but I think there's a lot more competition in the market than there used to be which has driven down prices. Not looking to use someone like Pegasus unless we win the lottery but there's a few local contractors that will do the groundwork etc and I've had quotes for standalone surfaces in the region of £5-6k.
