Bowling Alley Width
Bowling alleys typically are installed in pairs. For a two-lane bowling alley, the total width of all the required bowling alley equipment is about 11′-6″. This width includes two gutters, two runs of capping along the tops of the gutters, and the lane itself. If space allows, we recommend adding a aisles along both sides of the lanes. Adding width to the room will help balance out the extreme length of the space.
