SPORTING GRADE CLAYS: Horse Stalls and Riding Arenas, Horse Shoe Pits, Quoits, Baseball Fields and Clay Court Tennis

Sheffield Construction Clay is available for several applications. It is recognized as a superior material for playing surfaces on tennis courts. Our horse stall clay is the perfect material for a natural, durable surface which enhances the comfort and health of your horse. Indoor riding arenas constructed from our clay offer a durable yet cushioned base. We also offer a special material for the riding surface called �Sheffield Blend�. This topping is a mixture of clay, sand and sawdust that provides a natural surface. For applications in ponds and dams, our pond clay offers a low cost, impermeable material for construction and maintenance. For baseball fields, we offer our baseball mix, which is 50% clay and 50% sand. The naturally occuring mixture is available in limited quantities, and we can blend it to order as well.

We supply construction grade clay bodies for sports applications such as baseball diamond mix, clay-courts tennis, horseshoe pitching clay, riding arena base and premium riding arena topping and horse stall clay.

Making a Regulation Horse Shoe Pitching Pit:

National Horseshoe Pitchers Association regulations specify:
"The "Pitchers Box" has fixed 72"x72" dimensions. Within the box, space is divided into three major areas...two pitching platforms and the "pit". The maximum "pit" dimensions are 36"x72" and the remaining space is divided into two equal sized pitching platforms, one on each side of the pit. Over time, rule changes allowed "pit" dimensions to be reduced to as little as 31"x43" (probably to minimize the amount of pit fill material to maintain). Pit width reduction simply allowed pitching platform widths to increase accordingly. Pit length reduction created "unused" space within the box, in front of and/or behind the pit. Those "unused" spaces are addressed in Rule 1, Section A-2-a, "If the pit is less than the maximum dimensions, the extra space shall be filled with the same material of which the platforms are made or some other material different than the pit substance, and shall be level with the pit and platforms." (Allowances are made in Rule 1, Section C, for temporary and/or raised courts.)"

Your pits which will be filled with clay need to be between 43" to 72" length and 31" to 36" in width per Rule 1-A-2-a. The pits should be dug out 4" to 6" deep. Add some clay, compact and then add more clay. Moisture will have be adjusted according to your local conditions. Turn over the top couple of inches of the clay with a shovel periodically to restore surface.
