How does FieldTurfdrain water in comparison to grass and earth?
The same or better,…….. FieldTurf is manufactured with a patented drainage design involving channels of permeability over the entire surface of the backing other than that comprising the coated fiber rows. No other synthetic grass in the market possesses FieldTurf’s porosity. The resultant effect is that any water landing upon the grass fiber surface has the capability of being absorbed by the ground at about the same rate as it would if a screen door was placed upon it. Adding to the drainage capacity is the fact that the sub-base, sand and rubber infill will retain heavy rain down-pours for a more natural absorption rate by the ground beneath. Under the most extreme weather circumstances, FieldTurf will begin to surface drain, and, when doing so, the run-off is identical to that of natural grass.
