Our cricket canopies can accommodate 1-5 practice lanes within a single structure, and sometimes more, depending on the design. We develop the canopy around the required lane layout, player clearances and available space.

Yes. Cricket canopies can include fixed side walls, doors and retractable internal netting. Nets divide the training area into individual lanes and can be stacked at the end or side of the canopy, depending on the design. This provides schools and cricket clubs greater flexibility in how you use your training facility.

Yes. Lighting, power supply and PA systems can be incorporated into a cricket canopy project. Lighting allows clubs and schools to plan evening training sessions, while retractable nets support different practice arrangements. We recommend identifying your requirements for these before the structural design is finalised.

Yes, we can include a concrete pad and turf as part of your project, with the practice surface and canopy designed together. This allows the facility layout, structural supports and installation work to be coordinated for the same time to minimize disruptions.

Every cricket canopy is structurally engineered for its specific site. The design considers the proposed structure and environmental loads, including wind exposure and other applicable conditions. We coordinate all engineering and consent requirements for your project.

Cricket canopy projects have a lead time of approximately 6–9 months from contract signing. Design requirements, council approvals, groundwork and optional features can affect the final installation lead-time. We recommend discussing your cricket season and facility availability when planning your project so we can try to minimise disruptions to your schedules.
