Abstract
A bowling alley construction includes an approach section, a lane section and a foul line coupling between the approach and lane sections. The foul line has an elongated relatively flat base portion and an upwardly and transversely extending riser which extends across the width of the lane and/or approach section. A synthetic panel abuts one side of the riser and is fastened to one section of the alley through the base portion of the foul line coupling. A method for resurfacing bowling alleys with a synthetic panel and an L or T-shaped foul line coupling is also disclosed. In that method, a proximal end of the synthetic panel is then fastened to one section of the alley and to the base portion of the foul line coupling.
