Many community sports grounds cover their concrete pitches with soil and turf for winter play. Any turf manager will appreciate, that the mounding of turf around pitches from the unavoidable movement of soil, creates a management nightmare.

A comprehensive installation guide, along with the support of our trained consultants, will ensure the system is installed right the first time, every time. Then the innovating lifting and storage procedures will ensure that the cover is ready to reapply season for years to come. Advice around summer store of the covers is different for every situation, and our experienced sales consultants will make that clear prior to purchase.
