So the client for this work was the owner of this tennis court, which as you can see had become contaminated and damaged overtime from lack of use and maintenance.

This service initially involves carrying out a professional deep clean of the entire surface, ensuring all moss and algae build-up is fully removed.

Then, we proceed to work to carry out any small repairs needed, to ensure that the flooring is fully prepared for painting.

Then finally, we carry out the repainting and line marking. We offer this service in any colour you choose, and you can even have new line markings fitted should you wish to change your sports pitch type entirely.

Wetpour Sports Court Flooring in Dartmouth, Devon

Soft surfaces installed this Wetpour sports court surface for a sports facility in Dartmouth, Devon. Take a look at the video below to see the full project from start to finish and see how the outcome looked.

Video Transcript

Hi guys its Dan here, and today we’re going to be showing you a Wetpour Sports Court Flooring in Dartmouth, Devon.

So this job we were contacted by the owner of this sports facility that wanted to replace their old hard court flooring with something safer and brighter.

We explained the benefits of our wetpour surfacing, as well as the various colour and design options they had for the flooring, and we were booked in soon after to install the job.

During our discussion, we broke down why wetpour is such a popular outdoor safety surface here in the UK. The first reason being due to it’s porous qualities.

Wetpour is a surface consisting of EPDM rubber, and because of this it’s a porous system. Rainwater is absorbed by the flooring during our rainy months, and therefore the risks of floods are hugely reduced with wetpour.

Additionally, it’s rubber make up means trips and falls on the flooring are absorbed well too, and this surface meets the critical fall height requirements needed for outdoor play areas here in the UK.

Finally, it’s massively customisable. Those that choose to have wetpour surfacing installed with us can select from a seemingly endless amount of colour choices, and even have the ability to select bespoke graphics to be fitted onto the flooring itself.

We’ve been installing and maintaining wetpour surfaces across the country for over 20 years now, and there really is no job we can’t work on, so if this is something you’re interested in then please do get in touch.

So here you can see that the work has been finished, and the client’s sports pitch has been totally transformed. They were really happy with the work we carried out.

Although we do work nationwide, we’ve worked on a lot of jobs in Devon and because of this we now rank in Google for these keyphrases:

Hi guys it’s Dan here, and today we’re going to be showing you a Wetpour Swimming Pool Surround Install in London.

So for this job the client owned this outdoor swimming pool and needed a new surrounding safety surface for the area.

Their priority was to make sure the new flooring fitted was extremely safe, but they also wanted a surface that could brighten up their existing area.

Here at Soft Surfaces, we’re market leaders at installing outdoor safety surfacing nationwide, and our teams are spread all across the country, able to install and maintain many different flooring types depending on your needs.

For this job, it was mutually agreed that the best surface for their swimming pool surround would be wetpour, which is our most popular surface type.

Wetpour is made up of an EPDM rubber and is soft and spongy under foot. This makes wetpour extremely safe, soaking up falls and trips fantastically.

Even better, wetpour is actually porous, able to absorb water all year round. This makes it great as an outdoor surface, and perfect for swimming pool surrounds due to it’s porous qualities.

We can fit wetpour in basically any colour you choose, and we’re even able to offer bespoke designs and graphics should you wish.

You can see here from these images that the job has been fully completed, and looks amazing in the light and dark blue specification they requested. The client was super happy with what we did for them.

3G Sports Pitch Construction

We have constructed and installed hundreds of 3G pitches around the UK.

What is a 3G Pitch?

A 3G pitch is a Third Generation synthetic surface used for football and rugby.

The 3G Pitch is an all-weather sports surfacing specification.

Contact Us

Building 3G Pitches

We have recently constructed a new synthetic 3G sports pitch at St Peters, Orrell. The works involved ripping out and removal of existing synthetic turf sports surfaces, new engineered sub base installed, an elastic in situ rubber shockpad and then new 3rd generation synthetic grass surfacing.

3G Sports Pitch Installation

The first stage of the synthetic sport surface construction was to remove the existing turf carpet which had become worn out and unsuitable for use. The ground was then excavated and an engineered macadam sub base was installed to provide an even foundation for the new 3G sports pitch carpet to be laid onto. Once the base layer had been put down, an in situ rubber shockpad was installed to provide support for players’ joints and to prevent injury.

The next part of our installation process was laying down the 3G pitch synthetic carpet on top of the rubber shockpad. When a 3G synthetic turf is installed, a layer of rubber infill particles is added within the synthetic turf fibres.

This rubber infill helps to keep the artificial grass carpet upright and gives natural playing characteristics for football and rugby. The 3G sport surfacing should be looked after through a regular maintenance scheme which includes removal of dirt and debris and drag brushing to redistribute the rubber infill.

Sport Facility Equipment

After the surfacing installation was complete, the next stage of the project was adding the extra equipment and accessories which were specified by the client. These additional features included rebound fencing, sport floodlighting, football nets and sport surface line markings. Having these features installed meant that the new 3G sport field construction provided a multi use, all weather facility which could be used in the evenings to generate extra revenue for the organisation.

To see the installation process in more detail, please watch this video showing the full synthetic surface construction from start to finish:

What is 3G Manufactured Turf?

3G manufactured turf is a wonderful replacement to all-natural grass for a sport pitch. By creating a 3G sport pitch your facility will match UK accreditations of controlling organisation like FIFA, FA, IRB, RFU and also RFL. The synthetic turf can vary in pile size from 32mm, which is mostly intended for hockey surfaces, to sixty millimeters which is used for rugby.

Football field tend to use forty millimeters Third generation grass and this is frequently fitted on top of a shockpad to really make the surface secure.We install a porous sub base when we have dug out the current surfacing. There’s two main types of sub base which is often fitted for a 3G facility: engineered and dynamic. An engineered sub base features compressed natural stone and then macadam above, making a firm foundation for a shockpad to get installed.

This surfacing is infilled with rubber pieces and silica sand infill on a 3rd generation imitation surface. Because of infill, the surface’s performance qualities are increased.

3G Pitch Construction

The 3G sports pitch construction consists of rubber granules within. The athletes joints are secured with the aid of the rubberized granules – this stops damages to the people using the field. The turf fibers may also be kept up-right, because of the infill; this really makes the surface more comfortable and offers the individuals a far greater experience with the surface.

The rates for a field installed will differ based upon a number of aspects including field sizes, specific location in addition to special features. In the UK, Third generation all-weather field are very popular. 3rd generation imitation grass can be used for competitive fixtures, because games don’t have to be cancelled resulting from poor weather conditions since the artificial turf generates an all-weather pitch. This could also enable physical education classes to carry on as standard.

Contact Our Team

Due to the porosity of the facility, the area will not become flooded after a major problem of rainwater enabling institutions for example colleges to gain. Leisure clubs and sports teams also can use 3G pitches as line markings can be applied to build expert facilities allowing for numerous sports activities to be played out. Considering that the sport facilities can be utilized during any conditions, sports clubs and recreational centres will not lose earnings.

Many businesses will be able to produce extra revenue by hiring out their 3rd generation facility after working hours. Should you wish to include extra features including rebound fences, lighting and goal recesses we are able to aid accommodating these to your funds and requirements.

There exists a variety of suppliers that we’re able to buy the man made turf from such as Playrite, Lano Sports and also Rhino Turf. We try to ensure that our clients obtain the best value for your money; this is possible since our distributors create requirements that fulfill with a selection of regulating body certifications.

Lano Sports 3G Turf Design

Outdoor Basketball Court Sports Surfaces

Basketball is a very popular sport in schools, colleges and leisure centres across the UK. This means there is a high demand for top quality outdoor basketball court facilities to play the sport. But you don’t have to have a court built just for basketball. You can install a multi use games area where a number of different sports can be played, including netball and tennis.

Specifications For an Outdoor Basketball Court

A modern-day outdoor basketball facility has standard sizes and dimensions of 28m x 15m. However, depending on the level or standard of sport that you wish to play, we can adapt this. We’ll customise the specification to suit many sizes of MUGA outdoor basketball courts. It all depends on budget, costs and size/location.

Contact Our Team

Basketball is a sport that you can play on various types of surfaces. The most common types are asphalt tarmacadam and EPDM rubber crumb polymeric/tartan surfaces. These surfaces can all have anti slip sports colour coatings and line markings applied in different colours so a number of different sports can be played on the same surface, including basketball, tennis and netball.

We commonly install these facilities at various locations in the UK. There are many schools and clubs with worn out sports courts which need updating. Our team can do this by thoroughly cleaning the existing area to remove dirt. We’ll then apply an anti-slip coating with fresh line markings in colours of your choice.

All Weather Sports Surfaces

Both macadam and polymeric surfaces are porous so they allow rainwater to drain through them. All of our all weather MUGA surfaces are porous to allow for good water drainage, preventing flooding and waterlogging which can cause damage to the surface and make it unsafe for people to use.

The good drainage characteristics of these sports surfaces mean they are usable in all weather conditions and at all times of the year. This is a great quality, especially in schools and colleges.

This video below shows the whole process of installing a polymeric basketball court in Manchester. Our team completed the groundworks, macadam base installation and applied the rubber EPDM surfacing on top.
