The rink width, the ditch envelope, the bank height and the marker positions are all fixed by the rules before anyone chooses a carpet. Ask for a price before that set-out exists and the answer can only be a guess.<\/p>\n<p>A lawn bowls green artificial grass specification therefore starts at the green edge and works inward. We build turf rolls on our line, so we read a set-out the way a contractor does. The footprint decides the rink count, the rink count decides the roll width, and the ditch and bank decide the edges.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"why-a-bowls-green-starts-with-the-lines\">Why a Bowls Green Starts With the Lines<\/h2>\n<p>The set-out comes first because a bowls green is a regulated playing surface, not a landscaped one. World Bowls sets the length of play between 31 m and 40 m. Its standards apply to the complete installation, including surface, base, sub-base, sub-grade and drainage.<\/p>\n<p>A rectangular green can be as narrow as 8 m for a single rink, or wider than 60 m, and it is played in one direction only. None of that is decided by the carpet. The carpet is sized to the lines, which is why a lawn bowls green artificial grass order cannot be priced before the set-out is drawn.<\/p>\n<p>Everything downstream, from the rink count to the seam plan, follows from those fixed lines. Once the geometry is set, the surface sits inside our wider range of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.relyirgrass.com\/sports-artificial-grass\/\">sports turf systems<\/a>. Start with the footprint, then size the carpet to it.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"the-green-footprint-size-and-shape\">The Green Footprint: Size and Shape<\/h2>\n<figure>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.relyirgrass.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/why-choose-artificial-turf-for-sports-fields-7-featured.webp\" data-img-slot=\"1\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" alt=\"Aerial view of green sports surfaces divided into marked sections\" class=\"wp-image-1846\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.relyirgrass.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/why-choose-artificial-turf-for-sports-fields-7-featured.webp 1200w, https:\/\/www.relyirgrass.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/why-choose-artificial-turf-for-sports-fields-7-featured-300x169.webp 300w, https:\/\/www.relyirgrass.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/why-choose-artificial-turf-for-sports-fields-7-featured-1024x576.webp 1024w, https:\/\/www.relyirgrass.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/why-choose-artificial-turf-for-sports-fields-7-featured-768x432.webp 768w, https:\/\/www.relyirgrass.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/why-choose-artificial-turf-for-sports-fields-7-featured-18x10.webp 18w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><figcaption>Marked sections divide a green sports surface.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The government dimensions guide sets the length in the direction of play at not less than 31 m and no more than 40 m. The green is normally square, and it is normally divided into six rinks, so six games can run at the same time.<\/p>\n<p>That footprint spans a wide band in practice. One contractor lists a square green at 34 m to 40 m a side, an area of roughly 1,000 to 1,600 sq m. That footprint carries 4 to 6 rinks. An older guide keeps the green at 30 m to 40 m square and caps a rectangle at 44 yards on the long side.<\/p>\n<p>For a lawn bowls green artificial grass plan, the rink count is the number that matters. Take a 40 m square and lay rinks at the 5.8 m upper width. Six rinks take 34.8 m, which leaves about 5.2 m for margins and side ditches. Six is the answer at the upper width, not at the lower one.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"rink-width-rink-count-and-the-5-m-rule\">Rink Width, Rink Count and the 5 m Rule<\/h2>\n<p>Rink width is the number no turf page on the search results will give you. The government guide puts it at not less than 4.3 m and not more than 5.8 m. It recommends about 5 m, so a green never needs re-striping for competition.<\/p>\n<p>The standards body defines a rink as a division of the green normally not more than 5.80 m wide or less than 4.30 m. Indoor play raises the floor, with a minimum rink width of 4.6 m indoors against 4.3 m outdoors.<\/p>\n<p>Every rink is numbered, and the centre of each one is marked on the bank at both ends by a peg, disc or similar device that carries the rink number. For a lawn bowls green artificial grass layout, that numbering is what fixes the seam plan later.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"ditch-width-and-depth-for-the-green\">Ditch Width and Depth for the Green<\/h2>\n<p>The ditch is the one part of a bowls green sized by rule rather than by drainage design. The government guide sets it between 200 mm and 380 mm wide and between 50 mm and 200 mm deep.<\/p>\n<p>Inside that envelope the ditch needs a holding surface free from obstacles, made of a material that will not damage the jack or the bowls. One contractor lists a slightly wider ditch band of 200 mm to 400 mm, so treat the rule figure as the binding one.<\/p>\n<p>Indoors, the requirement narrows. Only the end ditches in the direction of play have to meet the ditch standard, and the side ditches are not bound by the same clause. A lawn bowls green artificial grass set-out therefore changes its ditch detail the moment the project moves under a roof.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"how-high-and-steep-should-the-bank-be\">How High and Steep Should the Bank Be?<\/h2>\n<p>The bank is the vertical or sloped face around the green, and its height is fixed. The top of the bank sits at least 230 mm above the surface level of the green.<\/p>\n<p>The face is set square to the surface, or sloped at no more than 35 degrees from the vertical. That angle reaches the turf package, because the bank edge decides how the carpet is trimmed and held at the perimeter.<\/p>\n<p>No steps that could interfere with play may be cut into or placed against the face of the bank. Set the bank line first, then check the ditch depth that runs below it.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"boundary-pegs-distance-markers-and-the-centre-line\">Boundary Pegs, Distance Markers and the Centre Line<\/h2>\n<p>The rink corners are marked with white or bright pegs no more than 25 mm wide. Indoors, a peg fixed to the bank face must show its centre with a thin black vertical line.<\/p>\n<p>The outer rink boundary pegs sit at least 600 mm from the side ditch outdoors and at least 460 mm indoors. That setback is the clearest outdoor-to-indoor change in the whole set-out.<\/p>\n<p>Along the side banks, pegs or discs can mark the 2 m and 23 m points measured from the end ditches. The centre line of each rink starts 2 m from each end ditch and finishes no less than 23 m from the opposite one. The line is optional now, but it is still recommended so players can place the mat.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"mat-and-jack-geometry-on-the-rink\">Mat and Jack Geometry on the Rink<\/h2>\n<p>The mat is a fixed rectangle, and the rink has to satisfy it. One rules text puts the mat at 600 mm by 360 mm, with the mat line at least 2 m from the rear ditch. An outdoor rule set gives a minimum mat size of 360 mm by 600 mm, with the front edge at least 2 m from the rear ditch.<\/p>\n<p>The jack must come to rest at least 25 m from the mat line and inside the side boundaries. On jack size the two rule texts differ. One gives 63 mm to 64 mm and 280 to 290 g, while the other gives 63 mm to 67 mm and 225 to 285 g.<\/p>\n<p>Read together, the 2 m, 23 m and 25 m figures belong to one set-out logic. The mat sits at least 2 m off the rear ditch, and the distance markers and centre line end at 23 m. The jack must finish no closer than 25 m to the mat line.<\/p>\n<p>A layout is the one thing that lets a roll be cut correctly. Send the green outline, the rink count and the ditch line, and the roll width follows from them.<\/p>\n<div class=\"cta-box\" style=\"background-color:#1a2b3c;border-radius:6px;padding:30px;margin:35px 0\">\n<h3 style=\"color:#ffffff;margin-top:0\">Rink Lines Set, But the Carpet Not?<\/h3>\n<p style=\"color:#ffffff\">Bring your green layout and rink count.

It changes pile height, infill, how many directions the green can be bowled, and when the surface will need replacing. Turf fiber is usually polyethylene or polypropylene, laid on a stable base and often over a shock pad.<\/p>\n<p>Woven carpet is a tensioned, unfilled surface, typically around 4 mm high, and the tension is what gives it consistent pace. Needle punch is a non-woven mat of loose fiber, generally 6 mm to 9 mm high, laid over a 3 mm to 9 mm underlay. One contractor quotes thinner figures of about 3 mm and 8 mm, so the two readings sit side by side.<\/p>\n<p>The sand systems sit higher. Sand filled carpet is typically 13 mm to 15 mm of pile with roughly 8 mm of sand infill, so only 5 mm to 7 mm of fiber stays exposed. One guide records an historical average of about 20 tons of sand per green, while a denser sand dressed build cuts that to about 12 to 14 tons.<\/p>\n<figure>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.relyirgrass.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/when-it-comes-to-professional-sports-there-is-slot2.webp\" data-img-slot=\"2\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" alt=\"Close-up of dense upright green grass blades catching the light\" class=\"wp-image-1798\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.relyirgrass.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/when-it-comes-to-professional-sports-there-is-slot2.webp 1200w, https:\/\/www.relyirgrass.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/when-it-comes-to-professional-sports-there-is-slot2-300x200.webp 300w, https:\/\/www.relyirgrass.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/when-it-comes-to-professional-sports-there-is-slot2-1024x683.webp 1024w, https:\/\/www.relyirgrass.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/when-it-comes-to-professional-sports-there-is-slot2-768x512.webp 768w, https:\/\/www.relyirgrass.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/when-it-comes-to-professional-sports-there-is-slot2-18x12.webp 18w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><figcaption>Dense upright blades are what carry pace and a predictable line of play.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Direction of play follows the construction.

The needle-punch milestones put a resurface at 10 to 12 years and minor base rectification at the same point. A possible pavement rebuild follows beyond 20 years. Sand dressed is quoted at about 12 to 14 years. For <a href=\"https:\/\/www.relyirgrass.com\/often-artificial-turf-be-replaced\/\">how often artificial turf must be replaced<\/a>, the base usually sets the date more than the carpet does.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"what-the-finished-surface-must-measure\">What the Finished Surface Must Measure<\/h2>\n<p>The rules fix the geometry, but an acceptance test fixes the surface. At construction, a lawn bowls green artificial grass surface must infiltrate more than 100 mm per hour. A green over 12 months old must still exceed 50 mm per hour.<\/p>\n<p>Flatness is measured with a 3 m straight edge, and undulation must not exceed 3 mm. Up to 5 mm is permissible where it does not affect the line of a bowl, but more than 5 mm should not occur anywhere. When water pours across the surface, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.relyirgrass.com\/artificial-grass-drainage-bases\/\">artificial grass drainage bases<\/a> decide whether that limit survives the first season.<\/p>\n<figure>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.relyirgrass.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/artificial-grass-hands-measuring-rotary-cutter-trimming.jpg\" data-img-slot=\"3\" width=\"1120\" height=\"680\" alt=\"Hands holding a rotary blade and a measuring tape while trimming a synthetic turf edge\" class=\"wp-image-2668\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.relyirgrass.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/artificial-grass-hands-measuring-rotary-cutter-trimming.jpg 1120w, https:\/\/www.relyirgrass.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/artificial-grass-hands-measuring-rotary-cutter-trimming-300x182.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.relyirgrass.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/artificial-grass-hands-measuring-rotary-cutter-trimming-1024x622.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.relyirgrass.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/artificial-grass-hands-measuring-rotary-cutter-trimming-768x466.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.relyirgrass.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/artificial-grass-hands-measuring-rotary-cutter-trimming-18x12.jpg 18w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1120px) 100vw, 1120px\" \/><figcaption>A rotary blade trims the turf edge, guided by a measuring tape.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Pace and draw carry their own limits. Five bowls from one delivery point must land inside a 2.3 m spread on a green running 10.0 to 12.0 seconds. That spread widens with speed. It reaches 2.8 m at 12.1 to 14.0 seconds. At 14.1 to 16.0 seconds it is 3.3 m, and beyond 16 seconds it reaches 3.8 m.<\/p>\n<p>Maximum draw must exceed 750 mm on a 10 to 14 second green. Above 14.1 seconds it must exceed 1,000 mm, and the left and right draws must differ by under 40%.<\/p>\n<p>An operational note helps set expectations. Natural grass greens are cut at 3 mm to 6 mm, and their pace moves day by day. A synthetic green is generally faster, more uniform across the rink, and almost constant through the day.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"roll-width-seams-and-ditch-lining\">Roll Width, Seams and Ditch Lining<\/h2>\n<p>Roll width is where the rink band pays off. A 5.8 m roll covers one rink at the upper width, so the seam can fall on a rink boundary instead of inside a rink. One supplier lines the ditch with 34 mm landscape grass laid without sand, in green or terracotta.<\/p>\n<p>Roll count then follows the footprint. A 40 m by 40 m green laid with 5.8 m rolls takes about seven runs across, since 40 divided by 5.8 is roughly 6.9. The same green in a 4 m roll takes ten runs. Widths between those two change the seam count rather than the play area.<\/p>\n<figure>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.relyirgrass.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/artificial-grass-rolls-standing-spirals-warehouse-stock.jpg\" data-img-slot=\"4\" width=\"1120\" height=\"680\" alt=\"Upright synthetic turf rolls standing in a warehouse\" class=\"wp-image-2725\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.relyirgrass.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/artificial-grass-rolls-standing-spirals-warehouse-stock.jpg 1120w, https:\/\/www.relyirgrass.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/artificial-grass-rolls-standing-spirals-warehouse-stock-300x182.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.relyirgrass.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/artificial-grass-rolls-standing-spirals-warehouse-stock-1024x622.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.relyirgrass.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/artificial-grass-rolls-standing-spirals-warehouse-stock-768x466.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.relyirgrass.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/artificial-grass-rolls-standing-spirals-warehouse-stock-18x12.jpg 18w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1120px) 100vw, 1120px\" \/><figcaption>Upright turf rolls showing the concentric spiral of the backing.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The ditch line is a separate small area.

Both figures belong in the cutting list, so it is worth reading our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.relyirgrass.com\/artificial-grass-products\/artificial-grass-roll\/\">artificial grass roll specifications<\/a> before the layout is booked.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"indoors-vs-outdoors-what-changes\">Indoors vs Outdoors: What Changes<\/h2>\n<p>Indoors, the same game runs on a different set of numbers. The outdoor boundary peg sits at least 600 mm from the side ditch, and the indoor peg sits at least 460 mm. The indoor rink floor is 4.6 m instead of the outdoor 4.3 m.<\/p>\n<p>Only the end ditches indoors must meet the ditch standard, and a peg fixed to the bank face must carry that thin black centre line. The centre line itself stays optional in both settings, though marking it still helps players set the mat.<\/p>\n<p>Green speed is defined as the seconds a bowl takes from delivery to rest, roughly 27.4 m from the mat line.
