The sidewalls can be rectangular height of 3m and 4m in length in step (European type) or diagonal (American type) with a decrease up to 2m. The other sides are closed with metal mesh that in turn rises above the walls up to 4m in height around the perimeter. On the side walls also supported a height of 4m in the first two meters starting from the bottom of the track and the remaining 16m with a height of 3m.
2. FIELD LAYOUT:
All brands have lines 5 cm wide and are easily distinguished, light-colored pavement.
3. OBSTACLE CLEARANCE:
The clearance between the floor and the nearest obstacle (luminaire, ceiling in indoor facilities) will be at least 6m over the entire surface of the track but there was nothing to invade that space.
4. ORIENTATION:
The longitudinal axis of the field in outdoor facilities will be NS admitting a variation between N-NE and N-NO.
5. LIGHTING:
Artificial lighting shall be uniform so as not to obscure the vision of the players, the match officials or spectators.
6. PARAMENTS:
-The side and back walls have a uniform surface finish, smooth and hard with sufficient thickness and preferably seamless, so as to provide a ball bounce regular and uniform.
-The wire mesh can be double torsion or electrically (rectangular or diamond type) in any case the maximum size of its opening as the diagonals not be less than 5 cm or more than 6 cm. The wire mesh should be tight so as to allow the ball bounce on it. The wire mesh is placed always aligned with the inner edge of the wall or walls.
-In one of the sides of a door or available open space to enter or leave the track. There may be one or two openings on each side of center court, with or without a door. The dimensions of the openings are as follows:
A single-side access, the clear opening must have a
minimum of 1.05 m x 2.00 m
-With two hits by side: each empty slot must have a minimum of 0.72 mx 2.00 m and a maximum of 0.82 mx 2.00 m in facilities for public use will take care of compliance with accessibility regulations People with reduced mobility.
-The side and back walls can be built with brick, glass or other transparent or opaque materials with sufficient consistency and uniformity for the bounce of the ball is regular and uniform.
