Pile Height Range: 50–60 mm (55 mm preferred for international events) to meet FIFA Quality/Quality Pro certification standards.
Core Needs: Football involves frequent stops and direction changes, requiring ample cushioning for joint protection while ensuring natural ball roll and bounce.
Supporting Solution: PE monofilament + curled yarn hybrid structure with silica sand + rubber granules (20–30% rubber content), paired with a 10–15 mm shock pad.
Project Case: An 11-a-side football field at an international school in Qingdao uses 55 mm PE hybrid turf filled with eco-friendly rubber granules. It passed FIFA certification, supports 10+ hours of daily training year-round, and has a service life of over 8 years.
Selection Tip: Prioritize yarn with UV resistance ≥3000h and tensile strength ≥35kN/m for durability in harsh conditions.
Two :Tennis Court: Short grass, fast ball speed (suitable for high-traffic scenarios)
Pile Height Range: 10–15 mm with high-density tufting (≥12000 stitches/㎡) for a flat, even surface.
Core Needs: Tennis requires fast, stable ball speed. Short pile height reduces running resistance and prevents ball entanglement that disrupts trajectory.
Supporting Solution: Filled with fine silica sand (0.3–0.5 mm particle size), no rubber granules needed. PU adhesive secures turf edges for enhanced flatness and wear resistance.
Project Case: A community tennis court in Xiamen uses 12 mm high-density PP turf with fine sand filling. It delivers consistent ball speed, recovers within 2 hours of rain, and has low maintenance costs.
Selection Tip: Choose yarn with WIRA Class 1 wear resistance and ≥5000h aging resistance for high-frequency use.
Three:Multi-functional Sports Field: Tall and sturdy, suitable for multiple scenarios (optimal choice for schools / communities
Pile Height Range: 20–30 mm to suit multiple sports, no infill or fine sand infill for cost efficiency.
Core Needs: Accommodates basketball, badminton, volleyball, and children’s sports training. Supports flexible marking for zone division while ensuring basic cushioning and safety.
Supporting Solution: PE curled yarn or non-infill structure with 8–12 mm shock pad. Removable zone division optimizes space for schools and communities.
Project Case: A children’s sports education school in Dubai uses 25 mm non-infill PE turf with colored zone markings, creating an integrated venue for football, athletics, and kids’ activity areas to maximize space utilization.
Selection Tip: Prioritize eco-friendly, odor-free turf compliant with GB/T 20394-2023, suitable for teenagers and children.
Four:Golf Course: Layered grass height, precise experience (differentiated design of the green / fairway)
Green Area: 10–15 mm ultra-short pile height, ultra-high density (≥25000 stitches/㎡), no infill, simulating the smooth putting experience of natural greens.
Fairway Area: 30–40 mm medium pile height with fine sand infill, balancing stroke cushioning and ball roll for swing training.
Core Needs: Precise control of ball speed and trajectory. Differentiated pile heights meet professional hitting requirements across zones.
Project Case: A golf driving range features 12 mm ultra-dense PP turf for greens and 35 mm PE turf for fairways. It is FIH (International Golf Federation) certified, delivers accurate hitting feedback, and has a service life of over 10 years.
Selection Tip: Green turf needs soft, fine yarn (≤1800D fineness); fairway yarn needs ≥WIRA Class 2 wear resistance.
Five:Runway / Athletic Field: Medium to high grass height, with safety measures (core of sports protection)
Pile Height Range: 35–45 mm filled with EPDM rubber granules. The turf and rubber granules work together to cushion impacts and reduce running stress.
Core Needs: High-impact protection for sprinting, long-distance running, and long jump. The system protects ankles and knees while ensuring slip resistance and drainage.
Supporting Solution: 15–20 mm EPDM rubber underlay with 40 mm turf topped with EPDM granules for dual-layer “turf + rubber” protection.
Project Case: A track and field stadium at a Henan middle school uses 40 mm PE turf with EPDM granule infill. It meets national new standard certification, supports school sports meetings and daily training, and drains quickly without waterlogging.
Selection Tip: Turf with ≥25% elongation at break and EPDM granules compliant with GB 36246-2018 (no harmful heavy metals) are essential.
Pile height is the core selection index for artificial grass sports flooring. Match the right pile height (50–60 mm for football, 10–15 mm for tennis, 20–30 mm for multi-purpose fields, 10–15 mm for golf greens/30–40 mm for fairways, 35–45 mm for tracks) to your sport, certification needs, and usage scenario. Pair with appropriate infill and shock pad solutions to balance performance, safety, and durability.
