2 lane cricket practice net facility
Norris Road State School
Bracken Ridge, Brisbane
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
