Tranmere Rovers Fan Park 2, Prenton Park

Tranmere Rovers Fan Park 2 at Prenton Park is our largest UK glulam project. Glulam Projects delivered the timber structure and clear polycarbonate roof covering, coordinating specialist design and construction for the covered supporter venue.

Curved glulam for a supporter venue

The structure uses curved timber arches to create the covered space. Clear polycarbonate roofing covers the frame while allowing daylight through the roof.

Our scope

• Delivery of the structure’s design with the specialist project team.
• Construction of the timber structure.
• Installation of the clear polycarbonate roof covering.

Design information

The supplied structural drawings, dated February 2023, show a main arch spanning 28.2 metres and a smaller arch spanning approximately 15.16 metres. The main section shows an overall height of approximately 7.98 metres. These are drawing dimensions, rather than an as-built survey.

The drawings name LBF Architects as general designer and S.C. L.M.C. STRUQTIAL S.R.L. as structural designer. Glulam Projects delivered its design-and-build scope in coordination with the specialist project team.

Project setting

The Trust describes Fan Park 2 as a permanent venue planned to accommodate a German Kraft microbrewery, live events and community activities. Completion of our timber structure and roof scope is separate from completion or opening of the wider venue.
