Sport structures
Rubb scores when it comes to the design and construction of multi-use sports buildings.
Our high-quality membrane materials and post-production galvanized welded steel frames deliver durability over time, making the cost of maintaining Rubb sports buildings more economical compared to conventional sports hall structures.
Translucent membranes allow natural daylight to illuminate the sports hall while the white roof surface reflects heat. Optional Thermohall® insulation minimises heat transfer, prevents condensation and virtually eliminates thermal bridging and air infiltration.
Rubb indoor sports facilities can function as one large playing area or be sub-divided into smaller areas for younger age groups or training programmes. Sport surfaces can be divided using moveable rebound walls, nets or more permanent dividers.
Rubb sports buildings can be quickly erected, dismantled and relocated due to module pre-fabrication. Rubb can provide site supervisors or fully dedicated construction teams to complete any custom sports project.
Rubb sports buildings can accommodate many foundation options such as concrete up-stand, ballast weights, and ground anchors into an existing surface. Rubb’s co-ordination with the groundwork contractor is key for the client to reach the most cost effective solution.
Our established sport supply chain streamlines co-ordination of delivery and installation. Pre-fabricated elements and the ability to construct our sport facilities in a variety of weather conditions, speeds up the construction process.
Buildings can accommodate all types of doors, ventilation and equipment to safely support a wide variety of field and court sports such as football, hockey, lacrosse, Gaelic football, rugby, cricket, basketball, volleyball, gymnastics and tennis.
Rubb personnel are on hand to provide help and support, from initial contact to quotation, installation and beyond. Rubb’s commitment to customer service continues after project completion and forms the basis for long-term customer satisfaction.

We find one of the strongest facets of the building is its versatility. It facilitates a wide range of sports: athletics, tennis, badminton, volleyball, netball, and basketball. Meadowbank Multi Sports Arena is now seen as a regional and national facility.

The facility will provide academy players with the opportunity to practice in a fantastic facility, the design and build is really impressive, and we have already enjoyed working in the indoor over the last few months.
Richard Stevens, Academy Manager

Rubb provided an ingenious solution for our new school; they were able to offer a design for a school sports facility that met our requirements and those of the planning authorities for a contemporary sports facility but which was affordable and deliverable within the original planning timelines.
Steve Hawley, Estates & Facilities Manager

The indoor beach volleyball facility was used as an Olympic training venue. The courts provide three full size match courts or four training courts and the international players believe it to be one of the best purpose built facilities in Europe.

We have been here now for ten years and the facility still looks brand new. The quality product and top after sales service you get with Rubb is second to none. Our relationship has been great and Rubb was an obvious candidate to work on this project.

The Hub has dramatically increased the quality of teaching and learning within PE lessons, furthered our extra curricular provision and it provides a quality facility for hundreds of people from the local community every night.

As a school we now have a fantastic resource – the Rubb structure provides an affordable option for a first class facility, which has made a difference to the lives of our young people.
Carl Winch, Headteacher

The building has been a great asset to the young people for use, especially during the winter months. It is long lasting (it has lasted double the amount of time it was anticipated to), hard wearing, and easy to manage.
Lisa Barker, Senior Manager
Monty Hind Training Centre
I love this facility. It is a marvellous indoor sports arena which shows that, with the right surface, both hockey and track events can take place under the same roof.
