They go to the country not only to work, but also to improve their health. And what contributes to this better than playing sports in the fresh air? But for sports it is necessary to allocate the appropriate zone. And it can be done do it yourself.
Materials and tools:
1. Sand, gravel or drainage.
2. Shovel, knife, skating rink.
3. Lawn grass or artificial grass.
4. Mineral fertilizers.
5. Sports equipment at its discretion. If necessary, a fence made of welded metal structures.
6. Heating systems.
Operating procedure:
First of all, you should pay attention to the place where the location of the sports ground is planned. The success of the building as a whole depends on this. If there is available an area of more than 40-50 square meters with a low content of groundwater, located not in a lowland, not on a slope, far from water sources and reservoirs, then you can safely proceed to building.
It’s worth starting with laying a lawn, which is a versatile and comfortable coating. To create it, you must first pay attention to a quality foundation of sand, gravel or drainage - depending on what will be easier to get. However, it is important not to overdo it with a useful base - let the thickness be no more than 5-10 cm. A layer of earth of 25 cm will be located on top. It is recommended to dig this layer, as a result of which all kinds of weeds will be removed.
Having prepared the soil properly, you can sow lawn grass. The sod is extremely long in formation - the final result will have to wait for years. If such a long wait is not to your liking, you can use a special roll lawn. Thanks to the methodology of its manufacture, the result will soon appear. Most often it is this option that is chosen.
In the case of choosing a roll lawn, it is important to take care of the foundation - mineral fertilizers will allow it to last much longer. The choice of fertilizer depends on the time of year in which work is carried out. So, from May to June, it is preferable to use nitrogen species, and from August - phosphorus and potash.
Now proceed to the process of laying the lawn. It is important to monitor the absence of bumps. For this, a shovel, a knife and a heavy skating rink are used.
After completion of laying, the question arises of the necessary soil moisture. In order for rooting to be successful, it is recommended to irrigate twice daily with regulation of water pressure depending on weather conditions.After three weeks of proper watering, the lawn becomes suitable for arranging sports equipment and conducting outdoor games. In the conditions of a country life, Swedish stairs, horizontal bars, bars will become ideal shells.
We should also say about their location. In no case should you install near fruit trees and a fence. It is also important to avoid places where there will be an increased risk of overheating.
But to warm up the site itself is very useful, especially if you are seduced by sports not only in hot weather. Systems for this purpose can be installed both electric and water. The so-called snow melting systems are heating and connecting cables, devices for regulating the electrical system and its protection. Cables are single-core and two-core. As for the method of heat regulation, the sensor intended for this purpose is located in the place of the greatest accumulation of ice with the sensitive element up.
When there is no snow, warming up the lawn is also necessary. The aboveground and root parts of plants need this. It is best to set automatic heat control based on one soil sensor and one for monitoring air temperature. If there is not enough time and money for such a system, you can use liquid as an alternative.
If the plans extend beyond the bars and stairs, it is recommended that a synthetic coating be laid. On it you can have a basketball or football ground two days after installation. Do not forget about the fence of welded metal structures.
That's all - an individual outdoor sports ground is equipped! Now, in between work, you can keep fit with your favorite exercises or games.
