An increasing number of sports venue and facility operators are appraising the strategic decision install an artificial turf playing surface. These pitches have many commercial benefits compared to natural turf, but there are still concerns about the quality and costs of such installations. Evaluating the options for sports fields is becoming more complex the market continues to grow, and the number of suppliers and range of products increases. In response, sports federations and governing bodies have therefore developed quality standards to assist buyers with decision-making.
