Subject: Building a Bowling Lane
|
Hello All: In order to help my kids improve in their bowling, I've decided to build an outdoor bowling lane about 40' feet long. It's only 40' feet long because I wanted to concentrate on the approach (15 feet) and the arrows (15) with 10' more feet for cushion. I was wondering what would be easier and cheaper to do, 1. Concrete 4 feet wide by 40 long with 3/4 ply wood on top as the lane. or 2. Use all wood. The main objective is the approach (foot work), foul line (Slide and release point), release (out in front),and target (arrows) paying a $1.75 a game ($7 bucks for 4 games times 2 kids = $14.00) every other day is starting to add up with great results. My kids averages have gone up by almost 20 pins. With the State tournament coming up in July, the more practice the better. Any input is welcome. Argus
