BELEBRO ROOFING

Function

A roof is indispensable to have the exerciser available for the horses to work in all kinds of weather. It is also the simplest way to keep the floor in good condition.

Importance 

A good  exerciser roof lets ample light and air in, does not trap any dust or heat, and gives no noise in the case of wind, rain or hail.

Safety 

For safety and durability the choice of material, design and construction are of overriding importance. The roof must not form any interference with the properties of the fencing. Our “Gallery” type of roof (roofing over the horse track) has been designed such that we do not have to apply any wind bracing between the stands. This gives us the possibility to build each fence without any wind bracing crosses that can be a risk to the horses. For a “Pagoda” type of roof the strength calculation requires one wind brace.

Type Gallery

The most ideal roofing for the horse walker and horse exercisers is the “Gallery” type. This well covers the horse track. The roofing protects the horses and the base against the effects of weather and lets a good deal of light and air in. In combination with the wind covers there is good, natural ventilation without any draught. This roofing does not need any wind bracing, so that the fencing does not have to be adversely angular and there are no large spaces between the fencing and the separations.

Type Pagoda
(also Topspin roofing for suspended training exercisers)

This roofing covers the entire training exerciser and is equipped with a ventilating peak. In combination with the wind covers there is good, natural ventilation here without any draughts. The Pagoda roofing was designed for the Topspin training exerciser. These training exercisers are located in the ridge of the Pagoda roofing, whereby the inner space can be used as a lungeing space, for example. The Pagoda roof can of course also be supplied to roof only a lungeing area.
