I am planning to convert my friend's garage (which is about 45 feet in length) into a indoor net for us. Not sure where I should start. Just finished putting metal frames on the windows and lighting.

May need to relay the flooring as it is a bit worn out at a few places.

We Will be buying the old matting from my club and using it as it is only 3 yrs old and in a good enough condition.

Sure Leo, still need to take care of a few issues w.r.t. the total length of the garage as I am short of 7 yards so need to see how the nets can be extended.

Walshy.......what can I say for you....... all of us at the forum can only pray to God that at some point if he has some spare common sense and intelligence left with him he should post it to you in Aus. (Don't put off God by asking for postage to Aus)

Could be a good throw down area? Rather than a full net

I once left my mobile with an umpire and he left before I got it back (complete accident).  Anyways the next day I went to his house to pick it up and he had his own net there.  It was a bit rough looking but made me kinda jealous!

He had metal poles up as you would expect and netting bit like football/fish nets surrounding it and a propper astroturf mat.  Would be great to spend time at home facing the bowling machine

One of ur richer members at our club has a tennis court and a bowling machine - seems to work pretty well without a mat - but yes, i think we would all love a net in the garden.....set it on half volley all day and build up that confidence :)

Lol, that would be awesome! My Mum wouldn't have to groan and give me a little practice between matches! The prices are immense though (I think about 1000 including a bowling machine, right?)

Uses two big round disks which the ball is fed in between :)
In order to make the ball swing one disk spins faster than the other

Something ive toyed with for a while with having tons of garden space, what always stops me though is that i dont intend to live here long so wouldnt want to splash out on a net and bowling machine just to leave it when i move out
