Cricket is usually played on a rectangular grass pitch, and for successful play, it is essential that the pitch is well maintained. It should be covered in good quality grass which allows the ball to bounce effectively, and the surface should be completely flat and even, with no depressions or irregularities. Artificial grass may be used, although this is usually seen at amateur sports facilities rather than professional cricket grounds.
As it is so important to maintain an even, regular and good quality surface, cricket facilities will usually have professional groundsmen who make sure everything stays in excellent condition. Another way to ensure that a pitch stays in great condition is to install protective domes or covers which can be closed during unfavourable weather conditions, protecting the pitch from frost, snow, rain and any other hazards.
We can supply domes and covers for many kinds of sports facilities, including cricket pitches. Available in a wide range of sizes and configurations, our domes are ideal for all kinds of situations and will provide complete protection to keep your pitch at its very best. They are available in fixed or telescopic forms, so you can have a completely indoor pitch or have the choice to open the cover when the weather conditions allow. We can even offer you the choice to either buy or rent covers, giving you unbeatable freedom and flexibility.
Cricket playing season traditionally extends from April to September when the weather conditions are optimal, but when you have one of our domes installed, your pitch can be used all year round for matches, training and practise. We provide domes for all kinds of facilities at all levels and can cater for varying pitch sizes, so no matter what your requirements are, we are confident we can meet them. From professional pitches to schools to sports clubs, we are ready to work with all kinds of clients and help them to keep their cricket pitches in optimal condition.
