Clubs Already Winning Year-Round
Harpenden Lawn Tennis Club
Our tennis club purchased their first dome in 1988. We now have 3 Covair domes, which we use during the winter months. Our long-standing relationship with Covair has been very positive and they have always been on hand to help with any issues or concerns with our domes.
Wayne Lee
Bromley Tennis Club
We decided to re-locate our tennis courts under a four-court Covair dome whilst building a new sports facility at the University. The dome was completed in December 2016 and from the beginning has been well received and well used. Covair have always been available to offer advice by phone and email. Teams have returned to site to store the dome for summer and re-inflate for winter as well as deal with any necessary repairs.
David Gladwell, General Manager, Sports Centre
David Lloyd Clubs
Covair have supplied many domes to the David Lloyd group of leisure clubs over a number of years. There are currently 35 domes in operation around the UK, both seasonal and permanent. With this volume of sites involved it is crucial to have regular communication and a high level of support, which we have with Covair.
