Kochi, Kerala. A box cricket ground in Kochi is a small plot, a good net and a surface that gives a true bounce. It is the lowest-cost sports business that works, and the one most often built badly.
Building for Kochi conditions.
Kochi sits in a humid tropical coast climate: humidity most of the year, a north-east monsoon in October and November, salt air near the shore. In Kochi the net structure has to handle humidity and salt as well as a season of cricket balls. Galvanised posts, UV-stabilised Garware netting and a PU-backed hybrid turf that does not swell in the wet months.
In Kochi most of the enquiries we see come from Kakkanad, Edappally and Kalamassery, though the crews go anywhere in the district.

Questions, asked often.
What does a box cricket ground cost in Kochi?
A 60 by 30 ft box with 35 mm hybrid turf, full Garware net enclosure and lights typically lands between ₹9 and ₹15 lakh, depending on the base and the net height. Freight to Kochi is 4 to 5 days from Surat.
Can the same ground be used for football in Kochi?
Yes. The 35 mm hybrid turf is built for both. We mark both sets of lines, and most Kochi boxes sell football slots on weekday evenings and cricket on weekends.
How high should the nets be?
Side walls at 6 metres, with a roof net for a full enclosure. We size the posts and foundations for Kochi wind loads rather than a generic spec.
Do you supply the nets alone?
Yes. Garware netting cut to your drawing, with posts and fittings if you want them. Contractors in Kochi buy nets and turf from us and do the civil work themselves.
