ABSTRACT:
A bowling lane construction includes synthetic panels having a tab and a notch cut formed along the side surface of each panel and attached to a bowling lane substructure with fasteners. The panels are juxtaposed so that the tab of one panel fits into the notch of an adjacent panel. A clear flexible sheet is attached to the juxtaposed panels with an adhesive. A hardened finishing coat is applied to the sheet to provide a sliding surface. The sheet functions as a barrier layer between the finishing coat and the top surface of the panel so that the bowling lane may be refinished by peeling the sheet from the panel. A foul line joint coupler is provided to connect a wood or synthetic approach panel to a synthetic bowling lane. A compressible insert is used with panel fasteners and ensure that the tops are flush with the top surface of the corresponding panel. Shims under the coupler and the adjacent lane panel are used to control the height of both when top portions of the approach panel are successively removed at spaced time intervals.
