The sun travelling over the canopies produces shade, particularly from the west side in the closing overs. Grandstands on the East and West sides (at least) should have the minimum possible interference with sunlight.

REIDsteel can help you with the design and construction of multi-tier grand stands with maximum clear views of the ground and minimum column obstructions. Because of the distance, and because of shortage of space, many grounds have two tier, or multi-tier grandstands, often built vertically, often with closely spaced and very large columns which ruin the view that the stand was built for.

REIDsteel can design and build unobstructed grandstands for you. But as in other sports there is no need for obstruction, or in the worst cases obstruction should be as little as possible. Traditionally cricket stadia has often been built with forests of columns, and obstruction of the view has been taken for granted. REIDsteel can help make the best of these stadium viewing difficulties. This may involve some compromises with viewing standards. Here it is necessary to take advantage of the REIDsteel patent sloping, sliding sight screen (see Sightscreen).īecause of the distance from the cricket stadia to the actual play area, it is a good thing to bring the stands as close as possible to the boundary. But all the grounds have these North and South stands ruined by sight screens. This will ensure that spectators are sheltered from the sun all day, and never have the sun in their eyes. In tropical countries, the North Stands and the South Stands will probably require the most construction and should be the most developed. In temperate climates cricket can be viewed from all round the perimeter, though the North and South ends are best for seeing the swing of the ball. It should be possible to undertake the construction of 8×57m stands or 10×43m stands or a combination of both around a ground.

Cricket grandstands in hot countries need to be made in short lengths - 57m or even 43m - with gaps between them and ventilated at the sides and the rear. Cricket grandstands in temperate climates do not necessarily need canopies but the construction of these are essential in hot tropical sunny countries.
