Vasai-Virar, Maharashtra. Box cricket has arrived in Vasai-Virar the way it arrived everywhere: one ground, a waiting list, and then five more. The ones that last are built on a proper base with a net system that survives a season of sixes.
Building for Vasai-Virar conditions.
Vasai-Virar sits in a coastal west climate: heavy south-west monsoon, humid air and salt within a few kilometres of the sea. Nets take the monsoon wind in Vasai-Virar, so post spacing and foundations matter more than the mesh. We use Garware knotless netting on hot-dip galvanised posts, and the 35 mm hybrid turf sits on a base graded to drain, because a box that pools is a box that loses July.
What we supply.
| Component | Specification |
|---|---|
| Turf | 35 mm hybrid turf, cricket-first bounce with a football-ready cushion, sand-dressed |
| Nets | Garware knotless netting; 3 mm cord for ball-stop and side walls, 2.5 mm for roof, 1.6 mm for boundary runs; 40 or 50 mm mesh |

| Base | Compacted aggregate to falls, perimeter drainage, edge kerb |
| Lighting | LED on the net posts, sized for evening play |
The turf is on the hybrid turf page and the netting on sports nets. Costs follow the football turf cost guide with a taller net enclosure in place of fencing.

Questions, asked often.
What does a box cricket ground cost in Vasai-Virar?
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 Vasai-Virar is next day from Surat.
Can the same ground be used for football in Vasai-Virar?
Yes. The 35 mm hybrid turf is built for both. We mark both sets of lines, and most Vasai-Virar 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 Vasai-Virar 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 Vasai-Virar buy nets and turf from us and do the civil work themselves.
