We built the petanque pitch as close to regulation size as we could given the area available. We used sand to level out the area and to provide appropriate drainage, and topped the pitch with ‘regulation’ beach shell. Therefore, no excuses for not winning!
Our neighbours and other island residents love to play the game and have admitted to calling it ‘Plonc’ in honour of what they drink prior, during and following a match . . .
c. Fire pit
The fire pit can be moved around outside depending on where you wish to enjoy the warmth of the fire. Just be sure not to put it close to flammable objects! Wood for the fire can be found under the front porch near the pohutukawa tree.
