Artificial Grass For Winter Sports

As winter is fast approaching, some sympathy could be directed towards all of those stalwarts who are in charge of school sporting fixtures over the coming months and the inherent difficulties of staging their rugby, soccer and hockey games during this taxing season. Most New Zealand towns and cities can be assured of more than their fair share of rainfall during the winter months and the number of sporting events that have to be cancelled every weekend because of the weather rendering the various school sports grounds ‘unplayable’ seems to grow in proportion to the increasing number of games to be played each weekend.

There is a very viable option to the old ‘grass and mud’ sports fields of yesterday, and that is the new and rapidly expanding range of synthetic grass for sports. Super Turf sports grass provided by Superior Turf & Sports, is widely used for soccer, rugby, rugby league, netball, basketball, baseball and hockey with its high UV-resistance, extensive durability and all-weather playability.

Synthetic grass has come a long way in the last decade, as has the demand for an alternative to a natural (and muddy) sports field. Superior Turf & Sports has responded to this changing market to offer the most real-to-life turf available in New Zealand. Not only does it look the part, it also feels like natural grass underfoot. Their landscaping turf lines are all made using UV stabilised yarns to create grass blades that actually feel like real grass. The backing is then applied to the weave creating a water-resistant, shock-resistant bond.
