Selecting the right artificial turf requires understanding key differences. Sports turf features:

  • Shorter pile height (30-50mm) for ball control

  • Higher density (16,000-18,000 stitches/m²)

  • Shock pads meeting FIFA 63% impact reduction

Leisure turf offers:

  • Longer blades (50-70mm) for lush appearance

  • Lower maintenance (saves 40+ hours/year)

  • Softer texture (ideal for pets/kids)

At SnailTurf, our ODM services customize both types with 10-year warranties. Contact us for free samples.
