Before, a maintenance-friendly bunker had 16- to 20-foot-wide minimum bays to turn mechanical bunker rakes at the bunker ends comfortably, making for fairly large bunkers. Smooth curves and edges allowed courses with a tight budget to rake right to the bunker edge with power rakes. Smaller bunkers should reduce raking time as well.

Keeping the sand level throughout the bunker also helps ensure a 'false lip' is not created. This is when the sand is raked towards the front or back of the bunker disproportionately, building up either the front or back lip of the bunker. To help stop this from happening, golfers should rake sand into the middle of the bunker.

In every type of manual or machine-powered unit, vibrating the sand does little to actually move the sand downward. What is needed is an up-and-down shaking motion to be more effective.
