The field hockey community has long respected artificial turf, which is a well-known trend.<\/p>

Every field hockey team in the Netherlands has an artificial turf field.\u00a0 Many of these fields need to be replaced right now. This blog reviews artificial turf and recommends grass for different hockey levels. It details how to build a modern semi-water or water field and renovate an existing one. It also discusses field maintenance and field-side facilities.\u00a0 A brief explanation of recent innovations has also been added.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

There are 3 types of field for Hockey Artificial Grass<\/a>:<\/p>

Hockey Fields with Sand-infill<\/u><\/strong><\/p>

The mat’s sand (infill) supports these fields‘ sturdy fibers. Due to their versatility, these fields are the most popular and versatile.<\/p>

This kind of field meets all specifications for traditional field hockey. Installing this kind of field generally has the greatest financial benefits. Well-maintained, this sector’s lifespan is 13\u201315 years.<\/p>

Semi-Water Fields<\/u><\/strong><\/p>

These fields use less sand because their fiber structure is denser (0.7\u20130.8 in).\u00a0 Most semi-water fields are quickly sprayed before games and practices. \u00a0This increases the ball’s speed and raises the level of play in general. This type of field has an average lifespan of 11\u201312 years when well maintained.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Water Fields:<\/u><\/strong><\/p>

Low-pile fibers are used to construct these fields. Sand is not required to make the fibers stronger. Watering the field before games and practices ensures optimal playing conditions. This artificial turf performs best among the three described in this chapter.\u00a0 Additionally, it is the priciest choice. Clubs that compete at a mid-to-high level or aspire to do so choose water fields.This field’s typical career span is 10\u201311 years (when well maintained).\u00a0<\/p>

Hockey field has come to rely heavily on artificial turf. It provides a resilient, fast, and responsive surface for any level of play. Consider this case’s material and fibers, as well as industry technical specifications and standards.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
