I can't remember what mine cost, but it's 70ft diameter. I wanted to be able to canter easily on my big guy, but it's a little big for ground work. 60ft diameter is probably more versatile.

60 foot and I can easily lope/canter my 17HH monsters in it. I can also easily work from the ground and not run a marathon.
I got mine from a guy near Durant that makes the panels (portable), he even delivered for free and does custom work for the inside of our lean-to so the horses couldn't lean on the sheet metal.

The carousel buildings top sure looks NICE, and I sure would love to put a roof over our roundpen, but unfortunately I don't have the $$ for that.
BTW - our roundpen is a home-made job, rigid fence panels (16' x 5') attached to peeler cores every 8 feet (peeler cores sunk in a good 2' of cement). For added strength, top & bottom of fence panels are encased in 2x4's, with a third 2x4 mounted about 8' above top of fence panel sections to discourage our tall gal from even thinking about jumping out. Still would love to have a good MD round pen someday, but this one works well for us for now and cost a lot less.
