  • Type of Structure

    Tent Structures

    Most new stadiums are being build as “tent” structures which is translucent fabric stretched over a steel or aluminum frame.  The sides can be rolled up if required for ventilation.   No need for expensive air conditioning etc

    Plexipave floor laid on concrete/asphalt surface. Same as tennis courts.  No requirement for timber floor.

    Lighting for night use

    Lightweight structures, simple foundation, very cost effective
