Testimonials
Karingal Bowls Club
“It’s not uncommon for ‘more senior’ bowlers to be resistant to change – and my fellow members at Karingal were no exception when it came to erecting an all-weather facility. However, now that our magnificent ‘Skyedome’ is complete and we’re bowling day and night in all weather conditions, they are cock-a-hoop and proudly boast how good it is.
We reckon it’s perfect and we’ve seen most of them, the Rolls Royce of fabric roof structures, no doubt.” Read more …
David Allen, Chairman, Karingal Bowls Club
City of Geelong Bowls Club
“In my estimation MakMax Australia has the most superior bowling green canopies and shade structures on the market, their engineering is far superior to what is available in the market and their dome cover product has an exceptional life span, their after sales service is excellent.
The installation of the MakMax Australia bowling green canopy dome at the City Of Geelong Bowls club has enabled the club to play night-time pennant matches and also carry out evening barefoot bowls sessions, which are a great revenue source for the club. Read More …
Daryl Marendaz, City of Geelong Bowls club
Merthyr Bowls Club
“We met with MakMax to help us configure a new customized design that would both not only protect every customer from the elements, but enhance their enjoyment of this historic boutique setting. They presented a single modular shade and waterproof structure that created such a beautiful shade canopy, we highlight this as a feature on our promotional materials. MakMax’s shade structure has allowed Merthyr bowls to offer year round functions. Their assistance with DA, BA and city council in guiding us to our new look was invaluable“. Read more …
Phil Shilvock, General Manager
Moama Bowling Club

Liam Fleming, Operations Manager
Playford Bowling Club
“The MakMax canopy structure installed over our three bowling greens is of tremendous benefit to our club. During the hot summer months, when the majority of the pennant competition matches are held, our members and visitors are shielded from the direct sun. This not only makes the games more enjoyable, but also protects the bowlers from the potentially damaging effects of UV exposure. The canopy also allows our club to remain open and programme events year round, without regard to weather conditions.” Read more …
Steve Attridge, President, Playford Bowling Club, South Australia
Torrensville Bowling Club
“The lawn bowls dome cover has given us surety of play during the winter months after resuming from COVID-19. It has also given us surety of play for events/tournaments we plan for the future”.
Brenton Rolton, Secretary – Torrensville Bowling Club, South Australia
Waikerie Bowling Club
“The Dome over our 2 Greens has exceeded our expectations and making play much more comfortable in very hot weather. We are the envy of bowling clubs in the Riverland and Country areas. The ambience that the Dome has created is amazing. It has brought the Club together and has given the club a new lease of life to the extent that all 4 divisions of Saturday Pennants were in the Grand Finals this year.”
Grant Hall, Greens Manager – Waikerie Bowling Club, South Australia

Why Install a MakMax Lawn Bowls Roof At Your Club?
- Custom designed bowling green canopies by MakMax Australia offers protection from sun, wind and rain. A tensile membrane canopy blocks almost 100% of harmful UV rays, allowing you to maximise the use of your bowling green, even in the height of summer.
- Club competitions, as well as functions and events, can be held year-round, regardless of the weather.
- Translucent membrane roofs are particularly suitable for sports like bowls, as they provide an extremely even natural light with very little shadowing during the day.
- With a fully-integrated lighting system, night-time use of the bowling green adds a range of social opportunities, from barefoot bowls and social club competitions to private or community functions and events.
- Designed to cover synthetic greens, a lawn bowls dome roof will minimise maintenance and maximise the longevity of the surface.
- Unique and highly noticeable, a bespoke bowling green canopy will attract players, spectators and social visitors to your club and become a focal point for the local community.
- MakMax Australia has built more full-cover bowling green canopies than any other company and central to our commitment to you is our design and engineering qualifications and skills; in addition to appropriate construction licences in all states, we also offer in-house RPEQ/NER qualified engineers who provide a detailed engineering analysis to make sure our canopies are safe and study in all weather and wind conditions.
- Our after-sales service is second-to-none, with in-house RPEQ/NER qualified engineering inspectors, we can offer regular routine inspection and maintenance programs to ensure your canopy looks good and is safe for the life of your structure.
- MakMax has continued to support a number of bowls clubs though sponsorship and club advertising agreements.
