This is an attempt at making a good faq for the game of petanque. All questions that are directly related to the game and it's basic rules should be included here. The questions and answers are meant for beginners - so please keep it easy to understand for non-players.

I have built four terrains, one on tarmac, one in a barn, and two on an earth base. For the earth-based ones: start with the flat bare earth, add a little spread of unwashed sand and horticultural (3mm) grit. Roll it in - AND PLAY ON IT! After you have seen how it plays you can add differents sorts of stone/grit until you have the surface you like. The three rules are: only put a little on at one time (one bag in the car is better than a lorry with five tons - in fact a lorry-load is a disaster), remember that the weather will bed the surface in and form a working crust, and the best manure is the farmer's boot . You can't get a good terrain without fussing over it. Dumping a load of gravel and then forgetting about it is a recipe for dissatisfaction. I haven't mentioned drainage (as in the BPA Notes) but I find it no problem, even in Ireland. Have another drink and wait until the sun comes out. And finally, halogen lights from your local B&Q or equivalent are a steal!
