Cricket covers replacement wheels
« on: May 14, 2015, 09:09:21 PM »

We have some covers similar to the ones ive linked and a few of the wheels have gone after the last 2-3 years of use.


Does anyone know the best to buy replacement ones as ive tried searching but cant find anything.

I'm guessing they use wheels similar to those used on supermarket trolleys. So if you try looking for trolley wheels instead, you might be able to get some in the right size.

You could just contact the manufacturer (not the retailer!!), they'll have spare parts they will probably sell you

I replaced ours twice with inflatable ones but they just perished over winter and ripped off when trying to push the covers if they became deflated etc. I then opted for these as they are solid and have been great ever since.

Took a bit of fiddling to fit them as its not easy getting under the covers even if you lift them up a bit, worth spending a bit extra of the wheels though as we got through 2 sets of the inflatable ones over 2 seasons as they just dont last.

We just store ours around the ground, as we have large fences around the ground. We have never really had any problems with vandals.

We keep ours in between the pitches but remove the covers during winter to put them in the shed and leave the framework outside. Less chance of them getting vandalised or storm damaged over winter then.

Sadly we had someone slash a set previously that cost us £800+ to replace the covers :(

Got some wheels for our sight screens from here

We had loads of trouble with the inflatable tyres on our covers, in the end a local tyre centre filled them with foam.

A good tip is to put the covers up on bricks during the winter, as the weight of the frame helps deflate the tyres, then they perish.
