How is the artificial turf delivered?-
Once your artificial turf grass has been produced, the factory rolls it and wraps it in plastic. It is then delivered to site by truck. On average, one artificial turf roll is 5 metres long and weighs around 750 kg.
- Is artificial turf expensive?
-
Artificial turf does indeed require a fair investment but this needs to be viewed in the long term. The costs per hour of play on artificial turf are considerably lower than for natural grass, as a result of cheaper, less intensive maintenance, the possibility for multifunctional use and the constant availability for play, artificial turf offers a higher ‘return’. If you add the valuable space you can save to that, then you see that the return on the investment is very high.
- What is the delivery period for a synthetic pitch?
-
On average the delivery period for a synthetic pitch is between 4 to 6 weeks.
- What does a synthetic pitch cost?
-
The price for a synthetic pitch depends greatly on the quality of the artificial turf you choose, the base required, etc. For an approximate price for your project, please contact one of our sales managers without any obligation. They can explain precisely what would be involved in your project.
- How much does the installation of a synthetic pitch cost? Is that included in the price?
-
The installation of your artificial turf is always included in the total price. For a price estimate for your project, please contact one of our sales managers without any obligation.
- Is a synthetic pitch financially viable for an amateur club, school or local authority?
-
Yes. Artificial turf is financially viable for smaller clubs, schools and associations. Thanks to the major return on your costs, artificial turf is a healthy long term investment. If you share the costs with another club or with other funding bodies then the price tag certainly becomes more interesting.
- After how much time will I get a return on my investment?
-
The “return on investment” naturally depends on the intensity with which the synthetic pitch is used. On average you will get your investment back in 3 to 5 years.
