Professional Cricket Matchday Equipment 

Built for Performance. Designed for Every Level of the Game.

Creating a high-performing cricket facility requires more than just a good pitch, it demands intelligent protection systems, elite training environments, and professional cricket matchday equipment. 

Stuart Canvas has spent decades refining a complete cricket range trusted from grassroots clubs to iconic venues like Lord’s and Headingley. Below, we take a deeper look at the products that underpin modern cricket ground performance. 

When it comes to protecting your wicket, speed, reliability, and durability are everything. Stuart Canvas’s mobile cricket covers For cricket clubs and grounds that need fast, reliable protection from changing weather conditions, mobile covers provide an effective way to protect the wicket and surrounding playing surface.

Stuart Canvas mobile cricket covers are manufactured in the UK and designed for quick deployment by groundstaff. Their wheeled, domed construction allows the covers to be moved into position when required, while integrated guttering helps channel rainwater safely away from the protected area.

Suitable for clubs, schools and professional cricket grounds, mobile covers can also be supplied with side sheets and bespoke branding to suit individual requirements.
