These are the recomendations from the Danish Petanque Federation:
The court should ideally be built in four layers,
1. STONEFLOUR
2. STABLE GARVEL
3. SINGLES
4. UNDERLAYER
And the material to use in the layers are (if available):
STONEFLOUR:
DPF recomends a norwegian Stownflour product called LYSIT, but there are other there are other products that can replace it.
The most important thing is that the product is able to give the court a hard surface fast.
It’s recommended to put a layer on approx. 2-3 CM.
STABLE GARVEL:
Unwashed stable garvel with a cornsize of 0-20mm. Preferably from a garvel grav. If you don’t want to use Stoneflour then this can be used as surface as well. Recycled stable Garvel has a tendensy to harden faster, and is therefore preferred.
It’s recommended to put a lair of 15-20 and “rolled” (I don’t know the word for it. It’s heavy and if puts a lot of weight on the lair. The lair should be really ferm)
Singles:
Singles is used to quickly drain the court.
It’s recommended to put a lair on approx. 15 CM and “rolled”
Underlayer:
Make the underlay fast and even. If it contains a lot of clay, then drainpipes could be a good idea to install.

Finally some petanque-product news have arrived. It is not often new things appear, boules are quite simple items, and the differences are subtle mostly. But this time it is a completely new product
It is 7h30 I have slept only 4 hours and I am one of them. My team number is 207 and we are playing against V.Chavinat game 1581. I go to the games Office, get my playing pack (3 bags, 3 t-shirts , 3 bobs/soft sun hats, 3 chifonettes) and my playing card on which we will have to enter the score at the end of the first round and return it to the same office.
We just got word of a new petanque-game, for all of those of you with a PC. It's called "petank party", and looks quite unique...
We have integrated petanque.org with yet another newcomer to the web, this time it is youtube. So please give us your ideas!
