Cricket Non Turf Range

Cricket Non-Turf Practice Facilities & Training Equipment

Cricket non-turf practice facilities provide a durable and reliable training environment for clubs, schools, and cricket academies. Stuart Canvas supplies a complete range of non-turf cricket systems, including artificial match pitches, practice netting, portable pitches, and specialist training equipment.

Designed for year-round use, these systems allow players to train consistently regardless of weather conditions while providing a surface that replicates the pace and bounce of a natural cricket wicket.

With over 50 years of experience manufacturing cricket ground equipment, Stuart Canvas works with clubs and schools across the UK to design, supply, and install professional cricket training facilities.

Our Cricket Non-Turf Range

The Stuart Canvas Cricket Non Turf Range includes several products used to build complete training environments for clubs and schools.

Cricket Non Turf Training Facilities & Refurbishments

The Cricket Non Turf Training Facilities & Refurbishments service provides fully customised cricket practice areas designed around the needs of each venue. Facilities can be built with multiple practice bays, steel netting frames, and artificial cricket carpets to create a durable all-weather training environment.

From site assessment and CAD design through to installation and refurbishment, Stuart Canvas offers complete support throughout the project. Each facility is designed with a strong aggregate base, premium steelwork, and full-width carpets to minimise maintenance while maximising durability.

Cricket Non-Turf Match Pitch

The Cricket Non-Turf Match Pitch provides a permanent artificial match wicket designed to replicate the playing characteristics of natural turf. The standard pitch size is 30 m x 2.74 m, although lengths can be adjusted to suit individual ground requirements.

Constructed using synthetic cricket carpets and shockpad systems, these pitches deliver consistent bounce and durability while integrating naturally with the surrounding square. Installation is typically completed within 1–2 days by Stuart Canvas’ experienced installation team.

Outdoor Cricket Netting

Outdoor Cricket Netting is designed to create safe and secure practice lanes for batting and bowling sessions. Manufactured from premium-grade twine, the netting is available in 2 mm standard thickness or heavy-duty 3mm options to suit different levels of use.

UV treatment protects the netting from sun damage and deterioration, ensuring long-term durability even with regular training sessions. Custom sizing options are available to fit new or existing practice facilities.

Flicx Pitch

The Flicx Pitch is a portable roll-out cricket pitch that allows matches and training sessions to take place on a variety of surfaces, including grass, artificial turf, or indoor sports halls.

This system is particularly useful for clubs, schools, and community programmes that require a temporary playing surface without installing a permanent wicket.

BOLA Cricket Bowling Machines

BOLA Cricket Bowling Machines provide a professional training tool for batsmen to practise against consistent deliveries. These machines allow coaches to control speed, length, and line, helping players develop technique and reaction times.

Bowling machines are widely used in cricket academies and training centres to simulate real match conditions during practice sessions.

Cricket Bowdry Ground Drying Machine

The Cricket Bowdry Ground Drying Machine helps grounds staff remove surface water quickly after rain. By blowing air across the playing surface, the Bowdry system speeds up drying times and helps return pitches and outfields to playable condition.

This equipment is commonly used by professional grounds teams to minimise match delays during wet weather.

Why Install Non-Turf Cricket Facilities?

Non-turf cricket facilities are increasingly popular because they allow clubs and schools to maximise training opportunities throughout the year.

Key benefits include:

• All-weather training capability

• Consistent bounce and pace for batting practice

• Reduced maintenance compared to natural turf wickets

• Increased training capacity through multiple practice lanes

Because of these advantages, many clubs combine non-turf practice facilities with traditional grass wickets to create a balanced training programme.
