Set up the pins in the proper triangle formation once your lane is complete.
Most people who enjoy playing 10 pin bowling do so at a bowling alley. However, you could build your own wooden bowling lane at home. Creating your own lane could be quite simple.
Instructions
1. Measure the space for the bowling lane area, which should be 62 feet 10 3/16ths inches long for a regulation size lane. The width for a regulation size lane should be between 41 and 42 inches
2. Check the area with a level where the lane will be laid to determine if it is level. If it is not, place flooring patches to fill in uneven area to make the area level.
3. Lay a vapor barrier on the measured lane space. This vapor barrier will prevent any damage to the wooden lane from moisture.
4. Lay the maple wood down the length of the lane. The wood pieces should not align. They should be offset, staggering the joints in order to strengthen the lane.
5. Sand any rough spots of the wood with a sander to create a smooth surface.
6. Coat the wooden lane with a high-gloss polyurethane varnish to finish the wooden lane.
