Artificial Grass For Rugby

Can You Play Rugby On Artificial Grass?

Absolutely, artificial grass is becoming an increasingly popular pitch surface for rugby games. In the past, most rugby games were played on natural grass fields. Although real grass can work well under the right conditions, it can also become muddy and slippery very quickly.

The Benefits Of Artificial Grass For Rugby games

Artificial grass, on the other hand, provides rugby players with a sturdy yet comfortable pitch that won’t get muddy. Other big upsides of choosing synthetic grass for your rugby pitch include:

• Durability: Rugby is a high impact game that puts any pitch through its paces. Our artificial grass is designed to withstand heavy footfall, making it an excellent option. While natural grass pitches can easily develop bumps, dips, and holes through prolonged use, artificial grass for rugby can hold up to game after game.

• Safety: Artificial grass is shock-absorbent, ideal for full contact moments in a rugby game. Made from high quality fibres, it provides a comfortable surface for players while providing cushioning to reduce the risk of injuries. We recommend pairing your artificial turf with a Shockpad underlay to provide extra protection.

• Drainage: No need to worry about a spot of rain causing a water-logged pitch. Artificial grass provides excellent drainage to reduce pooling.

• Weather resistance: We’ve also designed our grass to withstand the ever-changing British weather so your pitch stays in great condition all year round.

• UV protection: What’s more, UV stabilisation reduces fading, so your rugby grass will look green and vibrant for longer.

• Low maintenance: Artificial grass is incredibly simple to clean and care for. With no trimming and no watering involved, it takes a few small maintenance tasks to keep your rugby ground fresh and vibrant. We’ve put together a full artificial grass maintenance guide which highlights how straightforward caring for fake grass can be.
