Durable Sports Arenas in Africa

Auderes Sports Arenas

All Arena components are manufactured specifically and solely by SMP for use as a ball court surround. They are not utilised components from any other purpose such as dog grids, security fencing or industrial flooring.

Safety is a key factor. Arena is designed to discourage climbing and only round section steel is used. All Arena posts are manufactured from structural grade steel. Each post is 88.9mm diameter with a 4mm wall thickness and is finished with a smooth finished dome top.

All fixings are stainless steel and have tamper resisting 'torx' heads and SMP's colour coating finish is guaranteed for 5 years. All Arena components are first galvanised by coating with hot, pure zinc spray. Second, a zinc rich epoxy primer is applied and lastly a highly durable top coat of coloured polyester power is applied to achieve a minimum film thickness of 120 microns. Our basketball ring is fixed through the backboard into a steel support beam behind and not onto the backboard itself, making it virtually impossible to bend the hoop.

All play products are manufactured to the stringent EN1176:2008 European safety standard for play equipment for use in public areas which are independently certified by TüV. Auderes Arenas are also manufactured to the European ball court standard EN15312 and are also certified independently by TüV. Copies of certificates available upon request.

This durability and unmatched build quality is why Auderes uses SMP for their unique Arenas.
