With many of the first artificial turf surfaces coming to the end of their lifespan it is now possible to rip up and consider resurfacing synthetic rugby turf with the latest technology 3G sand and rubber infill surface.
Organisations across the UK are choosing to replace the existing sand filled or sand dressed surfacing with third generation artificial turf in order to meet the IRB (international Rugby Board), RFU (Rugby Football Union) and RFL (Rugby Football League) national guidelines. By installing an artificial turf 3G surface and rubber shock pad it is possible for rugby to be played to an international standard year round. An artificial grass pitch is made up using a porous system which has a permeable membrane and sub base allowing the drainage of surface water into the sub strata. Different specifications of synthetic rugby turf can be supplied to ensure you get the perfect playing qualities for your project.

If an existing sand filled or sand dressed artificial sports pitch near me has become worn, is holding water or is completely unsafe for use it may be necessary to rip up the surface and look at resurfacing synthetic rugby turf. This may include the excavation of current area to insert geotextile membrane and lateral drains, installation of MOT type 1 sub base and the installation of macadam or rubber shock pad. This will create a porous yet solid foundation to install the new and improved 3G surfacing with a sand and rubber infill. If the existing pitch is made up from natural grass surfacing it would be necessary to excavate down to the required depth and begin construction from scratch inserting edging that is haunched on concrete to create sub base foundation.

There are many benefits of resurfacing an existing turf with artificial grass, one being that this can actually be quite a good financial investment for the owners of the facility. This is because of the fact that owners are able to rent their surface out more frequently due to synthetic piches being able to be used all year round. This can lead to more revenue which is ideal for schools, colleges, leisure centres and other establishments.
Furthermore, these fake grass surfaces are an all year round surface, meaning that individuals are able to play sport on the facility throughout the winter months, whilst on a traditional pitch games are often called off due to waterlogged surfacing. This means that the synthetic pitch will likely be used more than a traditional area.
