Curtain Walls
The curtain wall is built across the bowling lanes, right in front of the pinsetter machines. Some builders suspend it from above, while others create a header that spans the entire width.
At first, the opening is high enough to allow the pinsetter machines to roll down the lanes on a pallet jack. Once the pinsetter machines are in place, the builder extends the curtain wall downward to its final height 22 inches off the bowling lane. If the opening is too high, you'll see more of the pinsetter machine. If it's too low, a tall person's line of sight to the bowling pins could be partially obstructed.
Some of the bowling electronics will be mounted to the rear face of the curtain wall. This is the location where a quad receptacle is needed, as well as a hard-wired internet ethernet jack.
It's important to finish as much of the curtain wall as possible before the bowling alley equipment is installed to minimize dust and the risk of damage to the bowling equipment.
