Third Generation
A consistently even field, with no muddy puddles or bare patches, which can be played on in both summer and winter? For many football clubs this is a dream, but it does not have to remain so. Artificial sports surfaces and turf can provide the best play characteristics. Every club wants to make optimal use of their training facilities but also to make cancelled fixtures a thing of the past. Bad weather conditions all too often throw a spanner in the works when playing football on a natural grass pitch. It is irritating for the club, but also for players and supporters. By providing an answer to these problems the popularity of artificial sports surfaces and turf for football is increasing quickly. For many football clubs, artificial turf is an investment that also gives an effective return.

ETC Artificial Sports Surfaces offer a variety of artificial grasses ideal for football and rugby . The most modern of which is commonly known as a 3rd generation grass. This comes in various lengths from 40mm to 65m long pile, and is filled with sand and rubber, specifically designed for football players of all abilities.It is laid on either an dynamic or engineered base depending on budgets and ground conditions.
