Our high-quality membrane materials and post-production galvanized welded steel frames deliver durability over time, making the cost of maintaining Rubb sports facilities 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 facilities 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 facilities 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.
Our facilities 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.

Rubb can provide custom-designed sport facilities in a variety of configurations and sizes to suit your specific requirements.
The BVR structure type features rectangular leg and roof box sections. This takes up less space and therefore provides more overall internal clearance.
BVE structures feature lattice frame sidewalls and can be designed with single or multiple lattice roof pitches. Span widths start from 20m to 40m, by any length.
The BVC is designed with a vertical column leg and a lattice frame roof. This structure type offers a large clear internal area. 40m to 100m width spans are available.
The BVL has vertical lattice frame sidewalls and single or multiple lattice roof pitches per span. Large spans start from 40m to 100m in width, by any length.
Throughout the sports training world, Rubb has supplied custom designed facilities to suit all sporting sectors and events.
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.

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.

Our Sports College PE department is buzzing at a new heightened level, we now have a multi sports hub the size of four normal sports halls completed for us by Rubb. 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
St Mary’s Sports Centre
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.
