The backbone of our system is the turf backing itself. We don't just punch holes; we engineer perforation patterns.
| Component | Specification | Function & Benefit |
|---|---|---|
| Turf Backing | PP/PE Composite, 180-220 gsm, Custom Perforation | Primary water egress point; prevents lateral water trapping. |
| Drainage Rate | 30-60+ L/min/m² (Customizable) | Ensures quick disposal of heavy rainfall, meeting sports field requirements. |
| Recommended Sub-base | 3/8" Granite Aggregate, 4-6 inch depth, 1-2% slope | Provides stable, porous foundation for lateral water movement to drains. |
| Geotextile Layer | Non-Woven Fabric (Optional) | Prevents sub-base migration, filters fine particles, maintains drainage capacity. |

We ensure our products and processes meet rigorous international standards for quality, safety, and environmental management, giving you peace of mind for your supply chain.
Our standard turf has a drainage rate of 30-60 liters per minute per square meter. For sports applications, we can manufacture turf with rates exceeding 60 L/min/m² to meet specific standards like FIFA. The exact rate is customizable based on your project needs.
Yes, as an OEM/ODM manufacturer, customization is our strength. We can adjust the size, density, and pattern of perforations in the backing to achieve target flow rates or address specific project challenges (e.g., extreme rainfall areas).

Our standard MOQ is one 20-foot container, but we offer flexibility for sample orders and smaller trial shipments for established partners. Contact us to discuss your volume.
Every production batch undergoes in-house checks for tuft bind, backing integrity, and perforation uniformity. We also provide third-party lab test reports (SGS) for critical projects. Our ISO 9001 system governs the entire process.
We operate on standard FOB, CIF, or EXW terms from our factory in Hebei, China. With our efficient supply chain, we guarantee high-speed delivery, typically with production lead times of 15-25 days for container orders. We handle all export documentation.
