Hear From Some Our Happy Clients
Karingal Bowls Club
“It’s not uncommon for ‘more senior’ bowlers to be resistant to change – and my fellow members at Karingal were no exception when it came to erecting an all-weather facility. However, now that our magnificent ‘Skyedome’ is complete and we’re bowling day and night in all weather conditions, they are cock-a-hoop and proudly boast how good it is.
We reckon it’s perfect and we’ve seen most of them, the Rolls Royce of fabric roof structures, no doubt.” Read more …
David Allen, Chairman, Karingal Bowls Club

Playford Bowling Club
“The MakMax canopy structure installed over our three bowling greens is of tremendous benefit to our club. During the hot summer months, when the majority of the pennant competition matches are held, our members and visitors are shielded from the direct sun. This not only makes the games more enjoyable, but also protects the bowlers from the potentially damaging effects of UV exposure. The canopy also allows our club to remain open and programme events year round, without regard to weather conditions.” Read more …

“The dome cover has given us surety of play during the winter months after resuming from COVID-19. It has also given us surety of play for events/tournaments we plan for the future”.
Brenton Rolton, Secretary – Torrensville Bowling Club, South Australia
Waikerie Bowling Club
“The Dome over our 2 Greens has exceeded our expectations and making play much more comfortable in very hot weather. We are the envy of bowling clubs in the Riverland and Country areas. The ambience that the Dome has created is amazing. It has brought the Club together and has given the club a new lease of life to the extent that all 4 divisions of Saturday Pennants were in the Grand Finals this year.”
