How does STSM synthetic turf drain water in comparison to grass and earth?
The same or better. STSM synthetic turf is manufactured with a special backing that provides ample drainage. Any water landing upon the grass fiber surface has the capability of being absorbed by the ground very quickly, allowing play on the surface almost immediately after a rain. Adding to the drainage capacity is the fact that the sub-base, sand infill will retain heavy rain down-pours for a more natural absorption rate by the ground beneath. Test results are available from STSM.
