2024-11-07
Whether it is a changing room at a sports club, gym or school, its users should be comfortable. Sports facilities usually cannot do without gear storage either. What equipment to choose so that the space meets all needs?
SETTING UP THE SPORTS LOCKER ROOM: BASICS
Before you start outfitting your sports locker room, take care of the basics. Furniture is not everything. For a locker room to be comfortable, it needs to be spacious enough so that there is room for everyone. Good ventilation will also be essential. Effective air circulation will help eliminate unpleasant odors, which are not difficult to come by in such a place. In addition, the locker room must not lack good lighting. Ensure that the light points are evenly distributed, have the right wattage and color temperature (neutral light is best – not too warm and not too cold). LED lighting, which is efficient, durable and, above all, energy-efficient, is most commonly used nowadays.
SPORTS LOCKER ROOM EQUIPMENT – WHAT DO YOU NEED?
Next, it's time for equipment. Start by planning what you need and in what quantity. The locker room needs the following:
• seating areas – usually benches,
• lockers,
• shelves or hangers.
The issue of seating is quite obvious. Locker rooms usually use durable and robust benches made of easy-to-clean materials such as steel and varnished wood.
In many locations, it is necessary to provide lockable lockers to store users' personal belongings. They are required in public sports and fitness clubs, among others. Lockers should be robust and easy to clean, which is why they are usually metal. Their interior should be equipped with hangers and shelves for convenient storage of clothing and personal items. Ventilation is also very important to ensure optimal air circulation.
It is also worth mentioning hangers, particularly hangers with a bench. They are versatile pieces of equipment that come in single-sided and double-sided versions. They provide plenty of space to hang clothes while also offering seating. There is also a shelf under the seat, which is great for shoes, for example. It is an economical and functional solution for school locker rooms, for example.
SPORTS GEAR STORAGE EQUIPMENT
Once A comfortable changing room is set up, it is time to think about the second part of the sports facilities, i.e. the gear storage. Proper storage of the gear and other equipment used during exercise is very important as it prolongs their life and prevents damage.
A great all-purpose storage solution is a sports gear locker. It is a special piece of furniture made of sheet steel and is therefore robust, durable and easy to keep clean. Lockers of this type are lockable and ventilated, which is of great importance when storing sports gear. They feature shelves, hooks, dividers, baskets and holders suitable for storing all sorts of gear, including bats, balls or even hula-hoops. Every item has its place in a sports gear locker. This makes it easier to keep the gear tidy and safely stored when not in use.
Do you need space for balls? Equip your facilities with a special rack made of steel tubes. There is a choice between a stationary variant and a mobile (wheeled) one that can be easily transported to the hall. A ball cart is also great for transporting balls between the hall or field and the facilities. It can be open or closed, made of steel bars or tubes. It will make the preparation of sports activities and subsequent cleaning up afterwards easier. Special carts can also be useful for transporting mattresses.
If, on the other hand, you need to store volleyball, tennis or similar posts, special wall-mounted holders will work best. It's a simple and convenient solution to keep your posts safe and ready for use at all times. Instead, you can use a special cart to transport the posts, which is also great for storing them.
The only thing to bear in mind is that it takes up a little more space.
