What Size Artificial Grass Order for a Tennis Court?

Order six rolls when the court needs eight and you discover the shortfall at the worst possible moment — halfway through installation, with a visible seam sitting directly on the baseline where every player and spectator will see it for the next ten years. Tennis imposes the tightest dimensional tolerances of any sport surface, and unlike a football pitch where a seam gets lost in a vast green expanse, a tennis court is small enough that every defect is on permanent display.

That visibility is the core problem. A tennis court is the smallest carpeted surface in professional sport — under 700 m² for a full competition court, compared to over 8,000 m² for a football pitch. Yet the precision required is arguably higher, because the ITF mandates exact line widths, net post positions, and surface regularity that leave no room for improvisation. Order one roll short and the installer either stops work for four to six weeks while a reorder ships from China, or worse, patches the gap with offcut that ages differently from the main carpet. Order two rolls too many and you have paid for 200 m² of artificial grass that most factories will not accept back once cut.

This guide gives you the exact order quantity for every type of tennis court — from ITF competition standard down to a backyard mini-court. You will find the total footprint for each category, the unique lengthwise roll layout that sets tennis apart from every other sport, Die 10% waste allowance that precision cuts demand, and the container plan for multi-court projects. Every number is the figure that goes straight onto a purchase order.

ITF Court Dimensions: Where Every Centimeter Counts

Jeder Tennisplatz auf dem Planeten beginnt mit den gleichen Linienmaßen. Der ITF-Tennisregeln Legen Sie die Spielfeldlänge auf fest 23.77 M (78 Füße) — identical for singles and doubles — and the width at 8.23 M for singles or 10.97 M für Doppel. The service line sits 6.40 m back from the net on each side, the net posts rise to 1.07 M, and the net dips to 0.914 m at center court. These numbers have not changed in over a century, und die tennis court is one of the most precisely standardized surfaces in all of sport.

What first-time buyers frequently miss is that virtually every artificial grass tennis court is built to doubles width, regardless of whether singles or doubles will be played. The reason is practical: painting or inlaying a singles sideline inside a doubles-width court is trivial, but widening a singles-only court later means ripping up and relaying the entire surface. Hersteller, Vereine, and residential buyers all default to the 10.97 m doubles dimension because it costs marginally more in carpet and delivers permanent flexibility. A court built to singles width only is a rarity, usually driven by a site so narrow that the doubles footprint simply will not fit.

Dimension Singles Doppel
Court length 23.77 M (78 ft) 23.77 M (78 ft)
Court width 8.23 M (27 ft) 10.97 M (36 ft)
Playing area 195.6 m² 260.9 m²
Line width 2.5–5 cm (baseline up to 10 cm) 2.5–5 cm (baseline up to 10 cm)
Service line from net 6.40 M 6.40 M

Line width matters more on a tennis court than on any other sports surface. The ITF permits lines between 2.5 Und 5 cm wide, with the baseline allowed up to 10 cm. On a sand-filled artificial grass surface, these lines are not painted — they are cut from a separate roll of white or yellow line turf and inlaid at the factory. Every line is a precision cut, and every precision cut generates offcut that cannot be reused. This is the first reason tennis carries a higher waste percentage than field sports: the line inlays alone consume material and create trimming loss that a football pitch — with its simpler line pattern — does not.

Always specify singles and doubles lines together at quotation stage. The factory cuts and inlays both sets in a single production run. Adding a singles sideline later means cutting into a finished carpet, which weakens the seam structure and creates a visible joint where competitive players will notice it immediately.

Total Footprint: The Space You Actually Carpet

Der 260.9 m² doubles playing area is only the painted court. No one plays tennis standing on the baseline with their heels against a fence. Players slide, lunge, and chase balls well beyond the lines, and the surface must extend far enough to make that safe. That extension is called the run-off — the carpeted margin that surrounds the playing area — and it comes in two directions: Die run-back (space behind each baseline, where a player retreats to return a deep shot) und die side-stop (space beside each sideline, where a player stretches for a wide ball).

The total footprint is the rectangle you actually carpet: playing area plus run-back at both ends plus side-stop at both sides. Three clearance standards cover the vast majority of projects worldwide, from ITF tournament specification down to a backyard court squeezed into a suburban garden. Pick the category that matches the level of play and the available land, because the run-off cannot be extended after the carpet is laid and the fence is set.

Competition and Tournament Courts

Ein volles ITF-Wettkampffeld erfordert die großzügigste Stichwahl in diesem Sport. Der Rücklauf ist 6.40 m an jedem Ende — den gleichen Abstand wie die Aufschlaglinie vom Netz — und die Seitenanschlag ist 3.66 m auf jeder Seite. Angewendet auf die 23.77 × 10.97 m Doppelplatz, Dies ergibt eine Gesamtfläche von 36.57 m × 18.29 m = 668.9 m². Dies ist die Teppichfläche, die für jeden Platz erforderlich ist, auf dem offizielle ITF-Turniere stattfinden, professionelle Veranstaltungen, oder hochrangiger Hochschulwettbewerb. Der zusätzliche Freiraum ist kein optionaler Luxus: Turnierspieler entwickeln bei der Jagd nach tiefen Bällen eine enorme Geschwindigkeit, und ein Runback kürzer als 6.40 m ist eine Sicherheitshaftung, die ein Gericht von sanktionierten Veranstaltungen ausschließt.

Bestellen Sie ca. 736 m² 8 Rollen

4 m × 25 m rollt (100 m² pro Stück) · Gesamter Platzbedarf 669 m² + 10% Abfall (Tennis-Präzisionsschnitte)

Der 10% Die Abfallvergütung auf einem Wettbewerbsplatz ist bewusst und nicht verhandelbar. Tennis artificial grass is laid with strips running the full length of the court, and the line inlays, net post cutouts, and precise seam alignment all generate offcut that cannot be salvaged. A 5% allowance — standard for football or hockey — will leave a competition court short on the final strip, and that is the scenario where an installer discovers mid-project that the last four meters of carpet simply do not exist.

Club and Recreational Courts

The club and recreational standard relaxes the run-back to 4.57 m an jedem Ende (15 Füße) and the side-stop to 3.05 m per side (10 Füße). This produces a footprint of 32.91 m × 17.07 m = 561.9 m². It is the footprint most commonly specified for private clubs, school and university facilities, municipal courts, and resort properties — venues where the standard of play is serious but not ITF-certified tournament level. Der reduzierte Runback gibt einem konkurrenzfähigen Spieler immer noch Raum, sich für einen Lupfer zurückzuziehen, und der Seitenstopp ermöglicht einen weiten Doppel-Volleyschuss, ohne dass ein Spieler gegen den Zaun prallt.

Bestellen Sie ca. 618 m² 7 Rollen

4 m × 25 m rollt (100 m² pro Stück) · Gesamter Platzbedarf 562 m² + 10% Abfall (Tennis-Präzisionsschnitte)

Für die meisten Käufer ist dies der Sweet Spot auf dem Tennismarkt. Der Platz spielt sich innerhalb der Linien genauso wie eine Wettkampffläche; nur der Abfluss schrumpft. Bei ungefähr 618 m², Die Bestellung ist klein genug, um effizient versendet zu werden, und groß genug, dass die direkte Fabrikeinsparung pro Quadratmeter sinnvoll ist – typischerweise 30–50 % unter dem, was ein westlicher Markenhändler für die gleiche Spezifikation berechnet. Vereinsausschüsse und Schulanlagenmanager sind die Käufer, die diese Ersparnis am unmittelbarsten spüren, denn jeder Dollar, der für Teppiche gespart wird, fließt in den Zaun, Beleuchtung, oder die Netzbeiträge und Netz.

Residential and Backyard Courts

The minimum clearance that still produces a playable court uses a run-back of 3.66 m an jedem Ende (12 Füße) and a side-stop of 2.44 m per side (8 Füße). The footprint shrinks to 31.09 m × 15.85 m = 492.8 m². This is the standard for residential and backyard installations, where the available land sets the boundary and the owner accepts tighter margins in exchange for having a court at all. A run-back of 3.66 m is tight — a hard-hitting baseliner will reach the fence on deep shots — but it is enough for casual and family play, coaching lessons, and practice sessions.

Order ~542 m² — roughly 6 Rollen

4 m × 25 m rollt (100 m² pro Stück) · Gesamter Platzbedarf 493 m² + 10% Abfall (Tennis-Präzisionsschnitte)

At six rolls and roughly 542 m², a backyard court is the smallest viable tennis project — small enough that shipping is handled as a less-than-container-load consignment rather than a full container. The buying psychology here is entirely different from a football or hockey project: the absolute quantity is modest, the per-roll cost matters, and the owner is often paying from personal rather than institutional budget. Factory-direct pricing is what makes a residential court financially feasible for many buyers, cutting the carpet cost to a level comparable with a quality home renovation rather than a commercial capital project.

Measure your site before choosing a category. Lay out the longest clear rectangle you can dedicate, subtract 23.77 m for length and 10.97 m for width, then split the remainder between the two ends and two sides. If each end gives you at least 3.66 m and each side at least 2.44 M, a residential court fits. Anything less and you are looking at a practice wall, not a court.

Junior and Mini Courts: ITF Play and Stay Program

The ITF's Play and Stay program introduced scaled-down court formats to match the physical capabilities of young children. Rather than forcing eight-year-olds onto a full 23.77 m court with adult-sized racquets and standard balls, the program defines two junior formats with smaller dimensions, lower nets, and slower balls. These courts are increasingly common at tennis academies, Schulen, and clubs that run junior development programs, and they are a growing segment of the artificial grass market — often installed in clusters of four to six on the footprint of a single full-size court.

Orange and Red Court Sizes

Der Orange court, designed for the U10 age group, measures 18.0 m × 6.4 M, with a playing area of approximately 115 m². Der Red court, for U8 players, is smaller still at 11.0 m × 5.5 M, giving a playing area of roughly 60.5 m². These dimensions are dramatically more compact than a full court — a Red court with 1 m run-off needs just ~107 m², so two rolls cover the entire surface with waste to spare.

Orange court: order ~185 m² — roughly 2 rolls · Red court: order ~107 m² — roughly 2 Rollen

4 m × 25 m rollt (100 m² pro Stück) · Playing area + 1 m run-off on all sides + 10% Abfall (junior courts use reduced clearance)

Junior courts are almost always installed in multiples. A tennis academy that serves fifty children will lay four Orange courts side by side — roughly 732 m² combined, or about the same carpet as a single competition court. This is one of the highest-utilization investments a coaching business can make, because the courts generate lesson revenue continuously and the compact format keeps construction and maintenance costs low. When ordering for a multi-court junior project, the efficient approach is to aggregate the total carpet area and order once, which also ensures every court comes from the same production batch with identical color and fiber behavior.

Roll Layout: Why Tennis Wastes More Carpet Than Other Sports

This is the section that separates tennis from every other sport in this series. Football and hockey carpets are laid widthwise — strips run across the short dimension of the field, because the fields are wide and the goal is to minimize the number of seams crossing the playing direction. Tennis does the opposite. Tennis artificial grass is laid lengthwise, with each strip running the full length of the court along the 23.77 m dimension. The reason is simple: a tennis court is narrow enough that lengthwise strips keep all seams parallel to the direction of play, So rollt ein Ball während eines Ballwechsels nie über eine Naht. Eine Naht, die über das Spielfeld läuft, würde den Ball ablenken, Und das auf einer so präzisen Oberfläche, Schon ein Millimeter Abweichung ist spürbar.

Durch die Längsanordnung entsteht ein einzigartiges Abfallmuster, das den Tennissport zu einem Erlebnis macht 10% Abfallvergütung statt der 5% Standard für Feldsportarten. Hier erfahren Sie, warum: eine Standardrolle ist 4 m breit und 25 m lang. Auf einem Wettbewerbsplatz, Die Gesamtfläche beträgt 36.57 m lang – aber die Streifen verlaufen in Längsrichtung, so muss jeder Streifen sein 36.57 m lang. Eine Single 25 m roll kann das nicht abdecken. Jeder Streifen erfordert zwei Rollen: der erste sieht vor 25 M, der zweite liefert den Rest 11.57 M, und der Rest 13.43 m von der zweiten Rolle wird abgeschnitten. Über fünf Breitenstreifen, dieser Rest sammelt sich an. Auch die Breite teilt sich nicht sauber auf: 18.29 Ich brauche fünf 4 m Streifen (20 m Abdeckung), verlassen 1.71 Ich bin weggeschnitten – ungefähr 0.85 m per side. Add the line inlays, the net post cutouts at center court, and the precision trimming around the court perimeter, und die 10% allowance is not generous — it is the minimum an experienced installer needs.

The naive calculation gives 10 Rollen; skilled nesting brings it to 8. Five strips, each needing two 25 m rollt, gives 10 rolls if every strip is cut independently. But an experienced installer nests the offcuts — the 13.43 m trimmed from each strip's second roll can be combined to cover the partial fifth strip — which brings the practical requirement down to approximately 8 Rollen. This is why the order quantity (736 m²) and the naive roll math do not match: efficient nesting is assumed.

Net post cutouts add another layer of planning complexity. The net posts sit at the center of the court, 0.914 m outside the singles sideline on each side, and they require a precise rectangular cutout in the carpet where the post sleeve penetrates the surface. Because the strips run lengthwise, a net post typically falls in the middle of a strip, meaning the installer must cut a hole in a continuous run of carpet rather than simply trimming an edge. Getting this wrong means a gap around the net post that collects sand and water, or a wrinkle in the carpet where the cut was too tight. The factory can pre-cut net post positions if the layout is specified at quotation stage, which is another reason to finalize the court drawing before production begins.

Multi-Court Projects: Scaling Up Efficiently

Tennis is a sport of multiples. Very few facilities build a single court. Clubs, Resorts, Kommunen, and academies typically install two, four, or eight courts in a single project, and the economics of scaling change the purchasing logic significantly compared to a one-off court. A multi-court project shares fencing, lighting columns, drainage infrastructure, and base construction across all courts, which drives down the per-court cost — but it also changes the shipping profile from a partial container to a full one, and that is where the logistics planning begins.

The key insight is that while a single competition court ships as less-than-container-load freight — roughly 1.8 tons of carpet that cannot fill even a small container — the quantities multiply fast. Two courts already reach 3.7 tons. A four-court project crosses 7.4 tons, which fills a 20-foot container. An eight-court complex hits 14.7 tons, the payload of a 40-foot high-cube. The per-square-meter shipping cost drops sharply at each threshold, which is why multi-court buyers see a lower landed cost than single-court buyers even when the factory price is identical.

Projektgröße Total Carpet Approx. Gewicht Versandmethode
Single court ~736 m² ~1.8 tons Lcl (less than container load)
2-court project ~1,472 m² ~3.7 tons LCL or half 20 ft container
4-court project ~2,944 m² ~7.4 tons 1 × 20 ft container
8-court complex ~5,888 m² ~14.7 tons 1 × 40 ft HQ container

Beyond shipping, multi-court projects gain efficiency in several ways that single-court buyers cannot access. Shared fencing between adjacent courts eliminates one full fence line per pair, which is a meaningful saving on a perimeter-heavy sport like tennis. Lighting columns can be positioned between courts, so four courts need fewer light poles than four standalone courts would. Drainage runs can be combined, and the base construction crew mobilizes once instead of four times. Diese Einsparungen führen nicht zu einer Reduzierung der Teppichmenge – jeder Platz benötigt weiterhin einen Teppich 736 m² – aber sie reduzieren die Installationskosten pro Spielfeld um 15–25 % im Vergleich zum Bau derselben Spielfelder einzeln.

From Court Size to Order Quantity: Step-by-Step

Dies ist der einzige Abschnitt, in den die Arithmetik vollständig gehört. Überall sonst in diesem Leitfaden, Die endgültige Bestellmenge wird Ihnen direkt mitgeteilt. Nachfolgend finden Sie die vierstufige Methode, worked through on the ITF competition court so you can see every calculation. Apply the same sequence to any court category by swapping in the relevant run-back and side-stop values.

Schritt 1 — Add the Run-Back and Side-Stop

The run-back extends the court length; the side-stop extends the width. Add both to the playing dimensions, doubling each because the clearance appears at both ends and both sides:

Total Length = 23.77 m + (2 × 6.40 m) = 36.57 m
Total Width = 10.97 m + (2 × 3.66 m) = 18.29 m

The competition court uses a 6.40 m run-back and 3.66 m side-stop. For a club court, swap in 4.57 m and 3.05 M; for a residential court, 3.66 m and 2.44 M. The two multipliers of two — one for each end, one for each side — are the detail that first-time buyers most frequently get wrong, and a single missed multiplier is enough to leave a court short by an entire strip of carpet.

Schritt 2 — Für den Abdeckungsbereich multiplizieren

Coverage area = total length × total width:

36.57 m × 18.29 m = 668.9 m²

Das 668.9 m² is the full carpeted footprint — every square meter the installer will cover, from baseline to fence and from sideline to fence. It is not the order quantity, because nothing has yet been allowed for the offcut generated by lengthwise strip layout, line inlays, and net post cutouts.

Schritt 3 – Wenden Sie die an 10% Abfallvergütung

Tennis demands 10% Abfall, not the 5% standard for football or hockey. The reasons are specific to the sport: lengthwise strips that do not divide evenly into 25 m rollt, five strips that do not divide evenly into 4 m widths, precision line inlays, and net post cutouts. Apply the allowance:

Order Quantity = 668.9 m² × 1.10 = 735.8 m² ≈ 736 m²

Das 736 m² is the number that goes on your purchase order. It is the figure that an experienced installer needs to complete a competition court without stopping mid-project for a reorder.

Schritt 4 — In Rolls umwandeln

The standard tennis roll is 4 m wide × 25 m long = 100 m² per roll. Divide the order quantity by 100 and round up:

Rolls = Ceiling(736 ÷ 100) = 8 rolls

Always round up. A factory cannot supply a partial roll, and under-ordering by even one roll halts installation while a reorder is produced and shipped — four to six weeks from a Chinese factory to most destinations. The same four steps applied to a club court give 618 m² / 7 Rollen, and to a residential court 542 m² / 6 Rollen.

Sand, Linien und Zubehör: Was Sie sonst noch bestellen sollten

The green carpet is the headline item, but a complete tennis court order includes several additional materials that must arrive on site together with the rolls. Unlike Fußballplätze where rubber infill is part of the system imported from the factory, tennis sand infill is sourced locally — it is too heavy to ship economically from China. The accessories below are what the factory supplies; the sand is what you procure domestically.

Komponente Quantity Notizen
Sand infill (silica sand) 8–12 kg/m² (~8 tons for 669 m²) Round-grain, 0.3–0.8 mm. Sourced locally — never imported
Line turf ~25–35 m² White or yellow, inlaid at factory within total order quantity
Nahtband ~80–100 m Runs beneath every carpet joint between strips
Klebstoff ~10–15 kg PU two-component, for bonding seams and line inlays
Shockpad (optional) ~260 m² (playing area only) 4–6 mm thick. Not standard for tennis but specified for player comfort

The sand infill is the single largest additional cost item, and it is the one material you do not buy from the factory. Silica sand at 8–12 kg per square meter means a competition court needs approximately 8,000 kg — 8 metric tons — of sand. Versand 8 tons of sand from China alongside 1.8 tons of carpet would triple the freight cost for no benefit, because graded silica sand is available in every country at a fraction of the import price. Specify the sand grade (round-grain, washed, 0.3–0.8 mm fraction) in your installation brief and source it from a local aggregate supplier. The application rate depends on pile height: shorter pile (10–12 mm) takes the lower 8 kg/m² rate; longer pile (15–20 mm) needs the full 12 kg/m² to fill the fiber and stabilize the surface.

Line turf is included within the total carpet order, not added on top. The 25–35 m² of white or yellow line turf replaces an equivalent area of green carpet in the same production batch, which is why specifying the line layout at quotation stage is essential. A factory that does not know the line pattern will ship 100% green carpet, and cutting lines into a finished surface on site is slower, less precise, and more expensive than factory inlay. Für einen multi-sport court that overlays tennis lines with basketball or netball markings, the line turf split grows accordingly and must be itemized in the quotation.

Budget the sand before you budget the carpet. At local prices of $80–150 per ton for graded silica sand, 5–8 tons adds $400–1,200 to the project — a figure buyers often overlook because it does not appear on the factory quotation. Confirm sand availability and price in your region before finalizing the total project budget.

Häufige Fehler bei der Bestellung von Tennisplatzteppichen

Common mistake: Applying a 5% waste allowance instead of 10%. Tennis is not football — the lengthwise strip layout, line inlays, and net post cutouts generate more offcut than any field sport. A competition court ordered at 5% waste ships roughly 702 m² instead of 736 m², and the installer runs out of carpet on the final strip. The shortfall appears at the baseline, where it is most visible, and a reorder from China takes four to six weeks to arrive.

Common mistake: Forgetting the net post cutouts in the roll plan. The net posts sit at center court and require precise rectangular holes cut through the carpet. If the factory does not pre-cut these positions — because the layout was not specified at quotation — the installer cuts them on site with a utility knife, which risks ragged edges, sand leakage into the post sleeve, and carpet wrinkles around the cut. Always provide the net post positions and sleeve dimensions with the order.

Common mistake: Ordering sand infill from the factory. Some buyers, wanting a single-source shipment, ask the Chinese manufacturer to include silica sand in the container. Eight tons of sand alongside 1.8 tons of carpet is weight-prohibitive and pushes a simple LCL shipment into full-container freight — at triple the cost — for material available locally at a tenth of the price. Sand is always sourced domestically; this is standard practice across the industry.

Common mistake: Splitting a multi-court order across production batches. Die Farbe des Kunstrasens verändert sich subtil zwischen den Läufen – ein Unterschied, der auf einem einzelnen Platz nicht sichtbar ist, aber deutlich sichtbar ist, wenn zwei benachbarte Plätze aus unterschiedlichen Chargen stammen. Bei einem Projekt mit vier Gerichten, alles bestellen 2,944 m² in einer Produktionscharge garantiert optische Konstanz. Die Aufteilung, um Vorlaufzeit zu sparen, führt zu einer permanenten Farbabweichung zwischen den Plätzen, die auch durch Sandbürsten nicht verdeckt werden kann.

Häufig gestellte Fragen

Wie viel Kunstrasen benötige ich für einen Tennisplatz??

Das hängt von der Gerichtskategorie ab. Ein Wettbewerbsgericht braucht ca 736 m² (8 Rollen), ein Clubplatz etwa 618 m² (7 Rollen), und ein Wohngericht etwa 542 m² (6 Rollen) – alles an 4 m × 25 m Rollen von 100 m² pro Stück. In diesen Zahlen ist der Runback bereits enthalten, seitlicher Anschlagabstand, und die 10% Abfallmenge, die Tennis-Präzisionsschnitte erfordern, Sie gehen also ohne weitere Anpassung direkt zu einer Bestellung über.

Warum verwendet Tennis a 10% Abfallentsorgung beim Fußballeinsatz 5%?

Tennis carpets are laid lengthwise — strips run the full 36.57 m length of a competition court — and each strip needs two 25 m rolls with significant offcut. Der 18.29 m width does not divide evenly into 4 m strips either, and the line inlays and net post cutouts add further precision trimming. Football and hockey carpets laid widthwise waste far less because their dimensions align more cleanly with the roll size. Tennis simply generates more irrecoverable offcut.

Do I need to import the sand infill from China with the carpet?

No — and you should not. Sand is always sourced locally. A competition court needs roughly 8 tons of graded silica sand, and shipping that weight from China would push a simple LCL consignment into full-container freight at triple the cost. Graded round-grain silica sand (0.3–0.8 mm) is available from local aggregate suppliers in every country at a fraction of the import price. This is standard industry practice for all tennis court projects.

Can I build a tennis court to singles width only?

Technically yes, but virtually no one does. A singles-only court is 8.23 m wide instead of 10.97 M, which saves about 80 m² of carpet. The trade-off is permanent: you can never play doubles on it without ripping up and relaying the surface. The carpet saving is marginal relative to the total project cost — fencing, Beleuchtung, base construction, and net posts cost the same regardless of width — so the industry standard is to build every court to doubles width and inlay both singles and doubles lines.

How many courts fit in one shipping container?

A single competition court (736 m², ~1.8 tons) is too small to fill a container and ships as LCL freight. A four-court project (~2,944 m², ~7.4 tons) fills one 20-foot container. An eight-court complex (~5,888 m², ~14.7 tons) fills one 40-foot high-cube container. The per-square-meter shipping cost drops significantly at each threshold, which is why multi-court projects see lower landed costs than single courts at the same factory price.

What pile height should I specify for a tennis court?

Tennis artificial grass typically runs 10–20 mm in pile height. Shorter pile (10–12 mm) plays faster and takes a lower sand infill rate of about 8 kg/m² — preferred for competitive and hard-court-style play. Longer pile (15–20 mm) plays slower, holds more sand at up to 12 kg/m², and offers more cushioning for recreational and club use. Specify the pile height and sand rate together, because they work as a system: Der Sand füllt die Faser bis zur Oberfläche und stabilisiert die Oberfläche für einen gleichmäßigen Ballsprung.
