2.4. Lay 19-25mm hard core height should be 20 cm.

2.5. Calendar the hard core.

2.13. We use 6 poles of 9 meters for lighting and install a 400 w projector.

Artificial turf is any field’s calling card, but the surface requires maintenance. If you believe the words “Artificial grass is not maintenance-free”, it will not be beneficial for you. Maintaining the artificial turf will not only have a long -lasting, but also eliminates the reasons will endanger the players. Now let’s see what the ingredients are for maintenance.

Maintenance artificial grass includes for football fields;

  • Sanitation and disinfection to protect the health of the players
  • Upkeep to keep the field from wearing out more quickly
  • Watering to reduce temperature on hot days
  • Maintenance and testing of the surface hardness to protect against concussions
  • Infill replacement

Hot days require carpet pitch watering 1-2 hours before football. Industrial brushes should periodically brush the artificial turf carpet floor.  Every two weeks, apply this process to the entire floor. Importantly, our company’s recommendation is to add granules every 6 months on average. Also, it is necessary to frequently collect foreign materials such as small stones, gravel and metal residues in the field.

Football fields use felt (geotextile prevents grass from coming out of the soil), artificial turf, helmet (seaming tape, 28cm wide cloth for joining rolled grass), grass adhesive, silica sand (weight keeps carpet on ground), and SBR granule (infill material, soft ground and keeps fibers upright).
