PROBLEM

 

• Single concrete slabs raised from ground presenting a tripping hazard

• Dirt inside nets creating a maintenance issue

• Synthetic grass in poor condition

• Holes in chain mesh

• Dividing net too low with balls often crossing into adjacent training lane

• No roof netting – balls frequently hit out of practice area being a danger to other players

​

​

WORKS CARRIED OUT

​

• Remove individual batting slabs and replace with a single (full width) concrete slab

• Supply and installation of 'heavy duty' synthetic grass (wider and longer) to the batting end and bowling pads

• Install metal framework for new roof net and cover with chain mesh to reduce balls leaving enclosure

• Extended height of dividing net to meet with new roof net area to stop ball crossing between nets

• Holes in chain mesh retied to main frame (where possible)

• Install new turf around bowling pads and between bowling and batting areas to reduce tripping hazards
