Question

How long should the artificial turf be when building a bocce ball court?

Zack

Top Answerer

Artificial turf is optional. You can play on the oyster shell surface. However, if you want to place artificial turf on the court, you must make it the same dimensions as your court: not bigger, not smaller.

Where can I find the materials to build a bocce ball court?

Zack

You can get most of the materials from your local building supply store, hardware store, and farm supply store. For example, my local RuralKing Farm and Home Store sells crushed oyster shell in 50 lb bags for about $10.

Question

Is the surface of a bocce ball court supposed to be completely level?

Carmen Cook

Community Answer

Ideally, the court should be as smooth and level as possible. If a court is irregular, it may affect the players' performance and lead to inconsistencies in the game.

Question

Can I install artificial turf on compacted gravel and use silica sand to weigh it down? How do I secure it?

Community Answer

To install artificial turf over a compacted gravel base, start by laying the turf and securing the edges with stakes or adhesive. Then, spread silica sand or a recommended infill evenly to weigh it down and stabilize it. Use a broom or brush to work the infill into the turf fibers, ensuring they stand upright, and follow manufacturer guidelines for a durable surface.

Question

Where should I place the foot line, 10-foot line, and center line on a 40' x 5' bocce court?

Community Answer

Mark the foot line at one end of the 40-foot length, place the 10-foot line at the midpoint along the length for distance measurement, and establish a center line across the 5-foot width to divide the court into two 20-foot halves.
