Polymeric netball surface is a mixture of rubber and a polyurethane binder which is layed in-situ. They have a degree of cushioning providing a softer footing than the macadam surfaces and a medium to slow pace. The slip resistance can be altered with the final coating.

It is ideal for private, club and school use, as it needs very little maintenance throughout the year. A heavy textured paint is applied to meet the required slip resistance. Also available in a variety of colours. 

 

Needle punch carpets – this is a hard wearing alternative surface which can provide excellent characteristics and durability, and generally they are around 8-16mm thick and have a fine sand filling. The surface is either tufted or woven.
