    Installation guidance

    Existing suitable base - tarmac, concrete or base already laid for current pitch
    Step 1Make good any defects in surface - holes, cracks, dips
    Step 2

    Ensure suitable permeability. It’s not recommended to install grass on an existing surface which is not porous or will not allow drainage. A sloped surface will be ok, allow for water to escape from the lowest edge. A level surface can be made permeable by drilling holes into it.

    Step 3A 10mm play pad is recommended
    Step 4A sand and rubber crum infill is required for 3G surfaces - check product specification tab for infill rate
    Step 5Ensure that joining tape and glue products are suitable for the project
    Step 6If using white /coloured line material install as per instructions.
    Step 7Discuss the above steps with your contractor

    Small pitches - base required
    Step 1Depending on soil type, remove 100mm to 200mm of soil
    Step 2If soil has poor drainage install a herringbone drainage system which feeds into a soakaway. If the soil is well draining this requirement is not necessary
    Step 3Install suitable edging to the area to retain sub base materials
    Step 4Install free draining, compacted, stable base using suitable aggregate materials
    Step 5The top surface may be compacted sharp sand, granite dust, or pourous tarmacadam
    Step 6A 10mm play pad is recommended for 2G surfaces
    Step 7A sand and rubber crum infill is required for 3G surfaces - check product specification tab for infill rate
    Step 8Ensure that the joining tape and glue products are suitable for the project
    Step 9If using white /coloured line material install as per instructions.
    Step 10Discuss the above steps with your contractor

    Care and maintenance

    Dura3G

    This care and maintenance info sets out basic requirements for your new artificial grass sports or games surface. It is important to ensure the guidelines are followed, so to ensure you get the most enjoyment from the surface, that the lifetime and performance of the surface is maximised. Synthetic turf systems are not maintenance free, they are low maintenance.

    Step 1Maintenance of the artificial surface is crucial to ensure maximum performance and enjoyment of the multi-use pitch. During the course of normal use the infill can be dispersed and the grass blades flattened so maintenance is required to redistribute the infill and lift the pile. A drag brush/compact tractor unit is required for this work
    Step 2Regular removal of leaves and litter will help to ensure that the surface and infill is not contaminated, leading to issues with drainage and performance
    Step 3Quarterly treatment for moss and weeds is recommended, using water based products. Once the treament has been applied all dead matter should be removed to avoid issues with drainage and performance
    Step 4Inspect the surface for damage and pay particular attention for any signs of roll joins opening up. Early remedial work is important where necessary
    Step 5Where paint has been applied to create lines, reapply as required.

    What is a 3G Sports Surface?

    3G, or third-generation artificial grass, is a synthetic turf system that typically includes a mixture of sand and rubber infill. This combination provides a soft, cushioned surface that closely mimics the feel and performance of natural grass. 3G surfaces are specifically engineered for sports that require a high level of player comfort, shock absorption, and consistent playability, making them ideal for football, rugby, and other contact sports.

    Advantages of 3G Sports Surfaces

    3G artificial grass pitchSuperior Player Comfort and Safety
    3G sports surfaces are designed with player safety in mind. The combination of sand and rubber infill provides excellent shock absorption, reducing the risk of injuries and fatigue. This cushioning effect is particularly important for sports like football and rugby, where players are frequently in contact with the ground.
    Consistent Playing Surface
    One of the key benefits of 3G artificial grass is its ability to provide a consistent playing surface, regardless of weather conditions. Unlike natural grass, which can become uneven, muddy, or waterlogged, 3G turf maintains its integrity and performance year-round, ensuring that players can perform at their best.
    Versatility Across Multiple Sports
    3G surfaces are versatile and suitable for a range of sports, including football, rugby, and even multi-use games areas (MUGAs). The different pile height options—40mm, 50mm, and 60mm—allow you to tailor the surface to the specific demands of your sport, whether you need a faster surface for football or a more cushioned one for rugby.
    Low Maintenance
    Maintaining a 3G sports surface is significantly easier than maintaining natural grass. With no need for mowing, watering, or fertilizing, 3G turf requires only basic maintenance to keep it in top condition. Regular brushing and infill top-ups are generally all that’s needed to ensure the surface remains safe and playable.
    Durability and Longevity
    3G sports surfaces are built to withstand heavy use and high-impact activities. The combination of durable synthetic fibers and resilient infill materials ensures that the surface can handle the demands of frequent play, making it a cost-effective investment for schools, sports clubs, and community centers.

    Applications of 3G Sports Surfaces

    Football Pitches
    3G surfaces are the gold standard for football pitches, offering excellent ball roll, traction, and player comfort. Whether for professional training grounds or community sports facilities, 3G turf provides the ideal environment for players to develop their skills and enjoy the game.
    Rugby Fields
    Rugby is a high-impact sport that demands a surface capable of absorbing shocks and providing a safe playing area. The cushioned nature of 3G turf makes it perfect for rugby fields, reducing the risk of injuries and allowing players to perform confidently.
    Multi-Use Games Areas (MUGAs)
    For schools and community centers that host a variety of sports, 3G surfaces offer the versatility needed to accommodate different activities on a single surface. The different pile height options available at Perfectly Green ensure that your MUGA can meet the specific requirements of each sport.

    Installation of 3G Sports Surfaces

    Site Preparation
    Proper site preparation is essential for a successful 3G turf installation. This includes leveling the ground, installing a drainage system, and laying a stable, porous sub-base to support the artificial grass.
    Laying the Turf
    Once the sub-base is prepared, the 3G turf rolls are laid out and cut to fit the area. Seams are carefully joined, and the edges are securely fixed to prevent movement.
    Infill Application
    After the turf is laid, a mixture of sand and rubber granules is applied to the surface. This infill helps to stabilise the grass fibers, provides cushioning, and enhances the playing characteristics of the surface. The amount and type of infill used can be adjusted depending on the sport and pile height.
    Final Grooming
    The surface is then brushed to distribute the infill evenly and to lift the fibers, giving the turf a natural appearance and optimal playing conditions.

    Aftercare for 3G Sports Surfaces

    Maintaining your 3G sports surface is straightforward, but regular care is necessary to maximize its lifespan and performance:
    • Regular Brushing: Regular brushing helps to keep the fibers upright and the infill evenly distributed. This is crucial for maintaining a consistent playing surface.
    • Infill Top-Ups: Over time, the infill may need to be topped up to maintain the surface’s performance and safety features.
    • Cleaning: Remove debris and litter from the surface to prevent contamination and damage to the turf.
    • Professional Inspection: Periodic inspections by professionals can help identify any wear or damage early, allowing for prompt repairs and ensuring the longevity of the surface.
