Enclosure Wall Architecture & Rebound Dynamics
- Glass & Mesh Structure: Back walls consist of 3-metre-high structural tempered glass panels topped with 1 metre of electro-welded wire mesh (50 × 50 mm). Side walls combine stepped 3 m glass and 4 m mesh corners. Balls may rebound off the glass walls after bouncing on the turf surface.
- Sand-Infilled Monofilament Turf: The playing surface is made of dense texturized polyethylene synthetic turf infilled with 8–12 kg/m² of kiln-dried silica sand (0.2–0.6 mm grain) to ensure uniform slide and ball grip.
