ABSTRACT:
A bowling lane and method for constructing the same. The bowling lane includes a plurality of synthetic panels having a tab and a notch cut formed along the side surface. The synthetic panels are attached to a bowling lane substructure with screws. Flat dowels are placed over the screws to provide a smooth bowling lane surface. Panels are juxtaposed so that the tab of one panel fits into the notch of its adjacent panel. One side of a plastic film is attached to the juxtaposed panels with a contact adhesive. A hardened finishing coat is applied to the other side of the film to provide a sliding surface. The film functions as a barrier layer between the finishing coat and the panels' top surface so that the bowling lane may be refinished by peeling the film from the lane. The film also attaches to the dowels and the lane to prevent the dowels from popping up when the bowling ball rolls down the lane. A foul line coupling is provided to connect a wood approach panel to a synthetic bowling lane.
