Title: Nets
Post by: legger123 on March 13, 2012, 03:20:44 PM

Right in the village where I live we have a single astro net, however the astro isn't the length of a complete pitch. It's just a shortened version, and we bowl from where we are supposed too. And it's on grass, where we used the nets a fair bit last season (basically me and friends) we have dug a hole where we bowl from. At the end of the season we tried filling the dip in and grass seeding it up, this did not work.
Someone at my club managed to pick a spare piece of astro turf up, of which we are looking to put where the dip is. So I am know wondering how and what would be the best way to lay this astro on the bowling crease?

you can either cement/concrete it or fill the dip with soil, compact it down, then put some plywood there, put the turf on top and nail it down with 9 inch nails...that way it would stay there and not move when you land on it..
