On the 1st October 2003 a Cable Dome size 40.5m x
66m x 9.5m was erected over four tennis courts
at the above college. This is the largest Cable Dome
in the UK scheduled to stay up all year round. It is
fitted with a Propane gas burner for heating. Once
again ground anchors were used as the anchoring
system.
Twelve 2000 Watt lights were mounted on curved
stanchions round the perimeter and aimed upwards to
reflect the light off the white roof membrane to
create a clear uninterrupted space for multi-sports.
The college is so impressed with the dome that they
are already considering a second tennis dome.
