On 23rd November 1998 the first true commercial Cable Dome in the UK was erected at Walton-on-Thames. This was 32m x 34m covering two tennis courts. Many Cable Domes have been erected in Europe with some up as long as eighteen years.

This replaced a conventional single skin Air Dome that the club had been using for fifteen years. The players were amazed that the Cable Dome was so much lighter inside than their original dome and the profile gave them more space. They only have planning consent for the dome to be up for six months during the winter, so it is taken down and rolled into a storage area attached to the fan housing.
