Veldeman serves up all weather tennis
The Tennis Club De Wehzel in Mechelen, Belgium has benefited from the installation of a new tennis hall supplied by Veldeman, rendering weather-interrupted games a thing of the past.
Built in the space of only two weeks, the 36m x 35m Polygon structure has a roof and upper walls made of a translucent PVC-coated fabric, which provides glare-free light and increased playing comfort. In summer the side panels - made of high quality green PVC-coated fabric - can be removed along the entire length of the hall to create a feeling of playing outdoors. A further advantage of this is that spectators on the club's terrace can follow the game.
Although supplied to the Tennis Club De Wehzel for a tennis application, the Polygon is ideal for covering volleyball, basketball and even swimming pools. It is of a self-supporting anodised aluminium construction that rests on galvanised steel base-plates, with standard anchoring realised using chemical anchors and stability by utilising wind bracing.
In a Veldeman sports hall, people can engage in their favourite sports in summer or winter in the most comfortable conditions whether it is tennis, winter sports, football, horse riding, swimming or other sports.
