Indoor Arena Footing/Grading

[AGGIE00]

Unless the OP wantrs a borrow pit on site, it makes no sense to import the material. I would run a balanced cut/fill job with drainage swales around the perimeter cut section. It would basically look like this pic of a polo field we designed and built using gps guided machines. The cuts were as much as 10'.

Ahh yes, the Mag Chloride savings account.
Can't have dust, can't have wet slop.

Aluminum shoes don't "rust", they just co$t more, which is what makes them SO desirable.
Of course Mag Chloride EATS regular aluminum, so they have to be a very Special alloy.

So a serious question on the mag chloride. will it make implements rust if I store stuff in the indoor leanto?

From various forums on the subject of alternatives to road "salt" (NaCl) it is my understanding that MgCl is LESS harsh on iron & steel, but MORE harsh on aluminum and its alloys - which is part/most of the basis for my earlier comment.

This concerns folk who take motorcycles out in winter, for example in Connecticut.
I know, I know, the very idea of motorcycling in CT (or anywhere else) when there is a non-zero probability of road icing - - is questionable.
There is a valid case for wanting to ride soon after it all clears up, say noon time.
