Construction of a sports ground: where to start
The construction of a sports ground is based on three "whales":
• convenient location
• sustainable coverage
• sport equipment.
Undoubtedly, for a sports ground in the suburban area you need a flat surface, namely a flat terrain. It is advisable to exclude the proximity of the site to any natural or artificial water body. For a site it is preferable to choose an illuminated or slightly shaded place. The main thing is that the sun's rays do not hurt when doing sports.
Lawn Sports Device
A sustainable lawn coverage is considered a sports lawn. A sports lawn can be considered the preferred choice, because this type of coating is most resistant to daily heavy loads and walking. Correctly selected seeds of grasses will ensure rapid restoration of the cover after sports activities and rains.
However, a sports lawn requires care and some rules of operation. Lawn is not recommended for use immediately after sowing seeds or heavy rain.
Traditional sports ground for cottages includes a complex of shells (horizontal bar, rings, walls) and a playground. If you intend to create a playground for volleyball or basketball, as well as a tennis court, you need to take care of the grid volleyball or tennis.
How to build a sports ground with your own hands
preparation of the platform base
Preparing the foundation of the future sports ground must begin with the preparation of soil for the lawn. The chosen site is cleaned of debris, uprooted stumps and weeds are removed. To remove pesky weeds, it is preferable to use chemical preparations with herbicides (Roundup).
The primer is etched with a herbicide solution in the spring until the appearance of weeds. After treating the soil of the future lawn with herbicides, the surface is leveled and, if necessary, digging. For seeding lawn seeds, the surface of the playground in the garden should be carefully prepared.
Now is the time to sow the lawn. After the lawn grows (about two weeks) and becomes attractive, you can start the Wimbledon tournament at the dacha.
How to sow the lawn correctly, is shown here.
site layout
The size and subsequent layout of the site, of course, depends on the kind of sport that they plan to do.
For each sport there are standard sizes of sites:
• for basketball - length 28 m, width 15 m
• volleyball - length 18 m, width 9 m
• for playing badminton - length 13.4 m, width 6.1 m.
Sports platforms with simulators and gymnastic equipment can have a variety of sizes and configurations and are calculated according to the amount of equipment installed and sizes.
What elements of the sports equipment can be used to create the site?
Before the erection of the site, it is not unreasonable to design the structure on paper on a scale, indicating the size of the playgrounds and to provide security zones and approaches. So, for example, for the table tennis table game, it is recommended to arrange a site with dimensions of 6x5 m, considering the tennis table's own size of 2.74x1.52 m.
Visualization of the object on paper will allow the correct arrangement of elements and attributes of sports objects. Variability with location will allow to equip the site with the maximum benefit of using the area. Next to the platform, if you wish, you can mount a canopy and install benches for rest. After that you can install the equipment of the sites.
What equipment is used for sports grounds
The equipment of sports grounds depends on the preferred sport.
Here is a sports equipment for sites you can use:
• multi-level horizontal bars
• The Swedish wall
• beams and rings
• pole and rope.
When creating a sports ground, the simplest option is to purchase ready equipment in a specialized store with the subsequent installation on the basis of the site. But the cost of the equipment of a sports ground can be considerable. Therefore, an alternative option can be the manufacture of sports equipment with their own hands.
Territory of free fitness or how to build a horizontal bar
The simplest version of the self-made horizontal bar can be called U-shaped equipment. Only two racks, one crossbeam, and now you are on the territory of free fitness and notice, for free!
To do this, it is necessary to excavate two pits of 60 cm each, located one from another at a distance of 1.5 m. For racks of the horizontal bar we select two metal pipes up to 2 m in length with a diameter of 100-120 mm.
We install pipes in prepared pits and concrete in the traditional way. For the bar of the horizontal bar, a pipe with a diameter of up to 35 mm, which is welded from above to the posts, is suitable. It remains only to paint the home-made horizontal bar with paint and buy a new stylish sports suit for the wrestler.
