Astro Turf

Artificial turf is a surface of synthetic fibers made to look like natural grass. It is most often used in arenas for sports that were originally or are normally played on grass. However, it is now being used on residential lawns and commercial applications as well. The main reason is maintenance—artificial turf stands up to heavy use, such as in sports, and requires no irrigation or trimming. Synthetic turf systems feature longer fibers and sand infills which are most widely used today, offer infills that are mixtures of sand and granules of recycled rubber.

Astro Turf for Tennis

After the introduction of artificial turf, it came to be used for tennis courts, both indoor and outdoor, though only a small minority of courts use the surface. Both infill and non-infill versions are used, and are typically considered medium-fast to fast surfaces under the International Tennis Federation’s classification scheme.

Astro Turf for Golf

Synthetic turf can also be used in the golf industry, such as on golf ranges, putting greens and even in some circumstances tee boxes. Because of the vast areas of golf courses and the damage from clubs during shots, it is not feasible to surface fairways with artificial turf. Tenecon can provide you with a top quality artificial grass practice green that needs minimal care to maintain its good looks in your garden, no watering or mowing maintenance which will provide you with many more hours to enjoy your practise sessions, any time of year with family and friends.

Astro Turf for Hockey

Field hockey artificial turf differs from artificial turf for other sports, in that it does not try to reproduce a grass “feel”, being made of shorter fibers. This shorter fiber structure allows the improvement in speed brought by earlier artificial turfs to be retained. The use of artificial turf greatly increases the speed and intensity of play as well as placing far greater demands on the conditioning of the players.

Astro Turf for Football

It’s becoming more and more common for Football in South Africa and around the Globe to play on artificial grass surfaces. These high-performance football turfs have revolutionised the sport- providing low maintenance, weather resistant surfaces throughout the year. These astro turf fields are reliable, consistent sports surfaces, surpassing even the best natural grass fields in both performance and reliability. Synthetic football turfs have soft, non-abrasive fibres that resemble grass in colour and feel, with superior durability and playing qualities making them the preferred choice.
