Croquet Lawn Technical
Lawn size
A standard croquet lawn measures 35 yards x 28 yards
When applying fertiliser, it is normal to cover a yard beyond each boundary. The area covered is therefore 1110 sq yards. The coverage of fertilisers, lawn products and seed is almost always in metric. For this reason, I use 1000 sq metres as the area of one lawn.
To apply 30 grammes of fertiliser per square metre requires 30 kg of fertiliser to cover one lawn. (Half Lawn 15KG, Bowling Green 45kg). To avoid having to split bags, I supply fertiliser in 15kg bags.
Ball size
The maximum size of a ball is 3 5/8" = 92 mm plus or minus 0.8mm
Hoops
Clearance
Handicap 1/8" = 3.2mm (Max 3/16" = 4.8mm)
Level 1/16" = 1.6 mm (Max 3/32" = 2.4mm)
Championship 1/32" = 0.8mm (Max 3/64" = 1.2)
The gap between uprights:
Handicap 3 3/4" = 95.25 mm (Max 96.8)
Level 3 11/16" = 93.75 mm (Max 94.4)
Championship 3 21/32" = 92.9 mm (Max 93.2)
