Bowling is a simple and incredibly popular sport today, which involves rolling special balls along the track and knocking them down with pins. Modern youth prefers this sports game as a good entertainment and pastime with friends. However, playing bowling in a club is quite an expensive hobby that requires constant costs. Why not make your own bowling alley, for example, at a summer cottage? Do you think this is impossible or very expensive? Nothing like this.

cemented platform 10x2, 5 m, carpet, awning, skittles, balls
Instructions
Step 1
Find a place in your summer cottage that would be the most convenient for bowling. It should be remembered that the length of such a section should be at least 10 meters, and the width, about two and a half meters.
Measure an area 6.5-7 meters long and 1 meter wide.
Step 2
Dig small grooves around the length and width. Thus, you should have a rectangle.
Step 3
Take small wooden sticks in the amount of four pieces and set them in the corners of your measured area, that is, the future bowling alley. It will be by these sticks that it will be possible to navigate, making further actions.
Step 4
Lift the soil in a small layer around the entire perimeter of your resulting rectangle so that the depth of the resulting path is about 10 centimeters.
Step 5
On four sides (at the corners), install iron pipes, approximately three meters in height, at a distance of half a meter on each side of the excavated rectangle. In the future, a tarpaulin or film will be stretched over this tube so that the bowling alley does not get wet during rain or snow, and you can play your favorite game at any time of the year.
Step 6
Fill the resulting long rectangle with cement by pulling out the wooden sticks pre-installed as a guide. The thickness of the cement layer should be about 1-2 cm. In this case, the corner iron posts should also be concreted so that they are securely fixed.
Smooth the surface of the track and allow it to harden.
Step 7
Roll the resulting concrete path with a low-pile carpet or linoleum along its entire length. Stretch the sheeting or tarpaulin, securing it over the installed tubes, making a kind of marquee.
Step 8
Buy some special bowling balls and a set of bowling pins from a specialty store.
Set the pins properly at the end of your lane, about 20 cm from the edge.
Throw balls alternately with friends or colleagues, relatives or neighbors and enjoy the game.
Step 9
Perhaps, in this game there will be only one drawback - each time you will need to manually set the pins and go after the ball. However, you can always put someone at the end of the lane who can set the pins and return the ball back down the lane.
