DECKING
TREKKER HITS A SIX AT STATE OF THE ART CRICKET CLUB
Budleigh Salterton Cricket Club , a renowned sporting hub now located in the picturesque Devon coastal town of Budleigh Salterton , has recently undergone a relocation from Ottermouth and a bespoke design and development . This exciting change comes as a result of suffering from seasonal flooding for years in its previous location , causing disruption to the running of the facility and damage to the property .
The Environmental Agency has invested £ 15m in a Lower Otter Restoration Project to return the area to a more natural state which has allowed for the relocation and complete development of this muchloved , purpose built cricket club .
The relocation and investment brought the opportunity to start from scratch and create a stunning purpose-built hub that meets all of the specific needs of the cricket club , whilst also acting as a social hub for the wider community .
This two-story development allows for sports and changing facilities on the ground floor and a large entertaining and social space on the first floor . The stunning raised balcony gives a 180 ° panoramic view across the two cricket pitches with views all the way out to sea – the perfect place to enjoy a summer afternoon .
For this project , the client was looking for a low maintenance , highly durable decking solution that could withstand the high foot traffic as well as offer a stunning finish that fits with the complete aesthetic – this is where Trekker comes in .
The installation of Trekker Composite Decking brought a transformative change to the Budleigh Salterton Cricket Club pavilion . The Natura Grooved boards in Vulcan added a touch of sophistication to the structure whilst ensuring resistance against the elements . It ’ s Trekker ’ s Natura Grooved range offers more of a raw looking finish with the look and feel of timber , but the durability and easy maintenance of a composite . Made from recycled material and fully recyclable , the use of Trekker FSC accredited products also added to the sustainability of the project .
As spring draws in , spectators and users of the cricket club are sure to be eager to make use of their stunning new balcony whilst immersing themselves in some fantastic games of cricket .
