Bespoke expertise for your spaces.

Covered pétanque courts (boulodromes) are now essential local sports facilities for municipalities and local authorities. They help to energise local community life and encourage people to play pétanque or boule lyonnaise all year round, sheltered from wind, rain and intense heat.

At Normandie Structures, we design bespoke pétanque court shelters that combine lightweight steel frames, galvanised against corrosion, with tensioned fabric roofs. This technique provides excellent visual comfort by letting daylight through and eliminates the echo and sound resonance typical of sheet-metal sheds.

Our solutions adapt to every configuration: adding a motorised opening roof for fine weather, a fixed three-dimensional roof for official competition facilities, or a simple refurbishment of existing sports grounds. Our technicians manage the whole project, from study to assembly.

Designed around your use.

Playable 365 days a year

Keeps the sport going throughout the year and ensures championships can go ahead even in bad weather.

Acoustic comfort

The fabric membrane absorbs impact noise and dampens the sound of conversations and clacking boules for a hushed atmosphere.

Diffused light

The translucency of tensioned fabrics provides even natural light across all the courts without creating distracting shaded areas.
