Synthetic grass, also known as artificial grass or artificial turf, is an alternative to installing 'real grass' and is becoming more and more popular.
An artificial sports surface is engineered with synthetic materials for a variety of purposes and uses. Artificial grass can be used for both residential and business landscaping, including backyards or public parks but one of it's main uses is in all weather sports surfaces and all weather sports pitches.
Artificial grass can be used for athletic fields, practice pitches and professional sports. Synthetic turf products have been designed to reduce maintenance and cut costs for businesses, teams and home owners.
Synthetic grass products usually incorporate an internal draining system. Should rain come into contact with the grass, it will pose no threat to its composition. A water permeable backing allows for liquids to filter through the surface without building up. This allows for both vertical and horizontal drainage.
This drainage system prevents any bacterial spores from growing within the turf. Thus, the turf products are able to drain themselves to prevent any build-up. That coupled with the fact that it never really gets muddy is one of the main reasons that artificial grass has become so popular with sports teams today.
Artificial Grass is extremely useful and can be used in a wide variety of different sporting scenarios as an all weather alternative, some of these include:
- Golf driving mats
- Synthetic putting greens
- Synthetic cricket pitches / Artificial grass cricket pitches
- Artificial grass badminton courts
- Synthetic grass golf courses & artificial grass golf courses
- Artificial football pitches & synthetic football pitches
Golf
With a home putting green, you'll practice strokes the same way you do on real grass. That's because your synthetic grass putting green is so comparable to the real thing.
Many pro golfers have installed these greens in their own yards and have noticed an improvement in their games. And why wouldn't they? Just like any sport, the more you practice, the better you get. A synthetic putting green enables you to practice all year long. And, it's also a fun way to entertain friends and family.
Football
Football clubs are choosing to install artificial grass pitches. This is because an artificial turf football pitch is more maintenance-friendly and yet it feels like a natural grass surface.
Besides, players can play on an artificial turf pitch throughout the year. With proven safety features, it is now approved by the UEFA, the European football league for playing the UEFA Champions League, the UEFA Cup, the qualification matches for the World Cup, and the European Championships on artificial turf.
Tennis
Tennis clubs are increasingly opting for artificial grass tennis courts. It is because in comparison to gravel or natural grass, artificial grass requires little maintenance. It is not necessary to clean the pitch after every match. Artificial grass is wear-resistant, extremely user friendly, and does not make your footwear dirty. A match can be played immediately after a shower because the courts are water-permeable and can last in good condition for longer.
All weather sports surfaces are the in thing today. Their features have made them widely popular. So, do not be surprised the next time you watch a match on an artificial turf.
