Leamington Spa Cricket Club

Leamington Spa Cricket Club first approached us in December 2013 to look at the reconstruction of their triple bay facility. Unfortunately funding was not forthcoming and having managed to acquire some carpets they resurfaced the existing facility themselves. As they still wished to install a new facility with fencing to control use they continued to search for funding and decided to install in a new location as the current template would extend a fence to far into the outfield.

After a further two years a grant was finally offered by Sita and the club contracted to install a triple bay, with setting out starting on 19th September 2016.

Once the levels were set and the perimeter edging installed it was decided to excavate and build in stages so as to avoid the site becoming waterlogged should the weather turn wet. Starting behind the batting ends and working down the length each area was excavated and the base constructed in turn until all were completed.

With the bases complete surfacing started with the Verdegrass 9 surrounds behind the batting ends and working down the length until all was completed and the frame could be erected.

Whilst the frame and netting was being erected Charnwood Fencing came in to erect the 2.40m high V mesh panel fencing with double gated access around the area. The completed facility consists of two Test Match and one Premier system batting ends plus three bowling ends all surfaced with Superverde. Verdegrass 9 has been installed around the playing areas to create and overall surfaced area of 33.00 x 13.00m. The frame is 18.30m long and consists of 42mm diameter galvanised tubular steel 3.60m high, with each bay 3.66m wide and covered with 2.3mm knotless netting.
