General
information drawings
We
have provided a selection of our most commonly requested drawings
for your information. We provide these as generic drawings
and you should discuss your particular project with Continental
prior to relying on any of these drawings as there may be
specific elements of your project that require these general
drawings to be modified.

Sports
hall court marking drawings
We
have provided a selection of court marking drawings for your
information. To the best of our knowledge these arrangements
are in compliance with the requirements of the governing body
of the respective sports, but if you are to rely on these
drawings you may wish to confirm the layouts with each governing
body.
These
court marking diagrams also show the postions of floor sockets
for the relevant Continental games posts. Under certain circumstances
some provision must be made in advance for the floor to accept
floor anchors - e.g. if there is a screed (which can't take
the stress from the fixing) or if there is underfloor heating
(which must be kept clear of the socket) - for details of
the provision which may be needed please refer to the floor
anchor section further down this page.
These
drawings are in pdf format. Accurate measurements are stated
on the drawings, but as they have been scaled to fit the page,
please Do Not Scale from the drawings.
Setting
out drawings
We
have provided a selection of our most commonly used and requested
setting out drawings for your information when planning and
designing your facility. These drawings are important if you
have UNDERFLOOR HEATING and show the provision that MUST be
made prior to our installation of the equipment.
These
drawings are in pdf format. Accurate measurements are stated
on the drawings, but as they have been scaled to fit the page,
please Do Not Scale from the drawings.

Loadings
& fixings for sideways hinged basketball goals
We
have provided two tools below to show the loadings and fixing
points for the matchplay basketball goals in your hall if
you are specifying sideways hinged goals:
Floor
fixings
Many
items of equipment in sports halls or gymnasia require floor
fixings and often provision will need to be made during the
construction of the building for the required type of fixings.
Sports
hall equipment - floor fixings are required
for rebound screens, volleyball and tennis posts, are recommended
for netball posts and are optional for badminton posts. Floor
fixings are available for five a side and hockey goals, but
we would recommend the less obtrusive and cheaper option of
wall anchors for those goals.
Gymnastics
apparatus - floor fixings are required for asymmetric
bars, ringframes, high bars, vaulting horses or tables and
pommel horses (unless only for low level school use).
The
type of fixing we use depends on the construction of the sub-floor
and the type of floor that will be installed on that sub-floor.
Please use the tables below to select and download the fixing
detail which also shows the builders work required for these
fixings to be installed:
1)
select the table representing the floor type that will
be installed
2) select the type of apparatus that will be installed
along the top row of the table
3) select the sub-floor construction down the first column
4) click on the resulting cell in the table to open a
copy of the floor fixing detail that is appropriate to
your circumstances |

If
you have a sprung floor (e.g. a Junckers floor) and
you are able to install bushing covers in the floor
(removable discs in the floor to expose the fixings)
then the above table applies. This is our preferred
method for installing fixings into sprung floors and
you should aim to utilise this method wherever feasible
- it leaves the floor surface free of the fixing and
does not impede the performance of the floor in any
way - i.e. the floor is free to "float" and
move up and down and side to side to enable its natural
expansion and contraction, and its sprung performance.
Please
note that Granwood are unable to provide bushing covers
for Gransprung floors and alternative fixings are therefore
necessary - see below for the relevant table.
The
bushing covers and timber flooring in the above drawings
are described as "by others". If Continental
Sports is installing a Junckers sprung timer sports
floor in your facility then these items will be "by
Continental".
There
are two versions of gymnastic equipment fixings because
the forces on those fixings are so great that our standard
fixings are unsuitable to bridge a gap between the load
bearing slab and the finished floor level of greater
than 50mm, so the floor slab needs to be built up if
it would otherwise result in a gap over 50mm.
| The
image to the right shows the three different diameter
bushings available for Junckers floors. We would
use the smallest, 60mm diameter bushing wherever
possible. They are available in beech to match your
sports floor, and with either a stainless steel
or brass edge. Other manufacturers offer similar
bushing covers for their floors - both solid timber,
engineered board, and vinyl surfaced. |
 |
The
graphics below show how "bushing covers" are
used:
A
The bushing cover is firmly held
in place by the brass disc and socket using sprung
loaded ball bearings when the gamespost fixing
is not being used. |
 |
B
The
bushing cover is removed easily using the rubber
suction tool. This exposes the gamespost anchor
which is chemically fixed into the slab (or concrete
plinth if necessary) |
 |
C
The
gamespost is positioned with the hole through
the base being located over the internally threaded
tube which is the gamespost anchor |
 |
D
The
gamespost is fixed in place using the thumbscrew
which locates through the base of the gamespost,
into the anchor and when finger tightened, holds
the gamespost firmly in place against the floor. |

An
animation showing how easy sports bushings are to use
is shown below:

If
you have a sprung floor on a batten springing system
but for which bushing covers are not available (i.e.
certain sprung batten and plywood systems with a vinyl
covering) then the above table applies. This table also
applies to floors such as Junckers floors for which
bushings are available but where for some reason bushings
will not be installed.
WE
STRONGLY RECOMMEND THAT IF BUSHINGS ARE AVAILABLE THEY
SHOULD BE INSTALLED as they do not impede the movement
and performance of the floor in any way.
There
are two versions of gymanstic equipment fixings because
the forces on those fixings are so great that our standard
fixings are unsuitable to bridge a gap between the load
bearing slab and the finished floor level of greater
than 50mm, so the floor slab needs to be built up if
it would otherwise result in a gap over 50mm.. |

| If

from the above table in accordance with the requirements
of Granwood Ltd. If you are considering a
Gransprung floor with a long rung of rebound screens,
please contact us for further discussions. |

| If
you have a Vinyl, Pulastic, Cushioned Vinyl, Uniturf,
Herculan or similar polymer floor that does not have a
batten and void springing system between the sub-floor
and the floor surface then the above table applies. If
you have a vinyl / polymer floor but it is on a batten
system, then hopefully you can install bushing covers
and if so then please refer to table 1. If you have a
vinyl / polymer floor on a batten system but bushing covers
are not available for your floor, then please refer to
table 2. |
