The slab is the stump-to-stump distance plus run-off at each end, so a senior pitch comes out at 25 m. Fencing runs from the batter's end for a set length and is open beyond, with an optional soft net roof over the fenced section.
Pick the format in the Court Designer and the stumps, creases and cage length update to suit. Junior and senior markings are not mixed on one pitch.
Cage length depends on the format. The pitch is 20.12 m (22 yards) between the stumps for seniors, with run-up space beyond each end. We build a 25 m pitch as the minimum and recommend 28 m. Junior formats are shorter: 14 m, 16 m and 18 m stump to stump for U9s, U11s and U13s.
Pitch width is set by the cage. We can supply widths up to 3.7 m in a single roll with no joins: 2.4 m minimum, 2.8 m, 3.05 m, 3.6 m (a net bay) or 3.7 m maximum.
The popping crease is 1.22 m (4 ft) in front of the stumps.
A 9mm test pitch synthetic surface.
Yes. Cages sit side by side with shared posts, and soft side netting can be run to the crease and removed when not needed.
