Artificial Football Turf Surfaces
APT’s Australian made LigaTurf artificial football turf for sports clubs and schools has been specially designed to deliver year-round usage, consistent playing conditions and minimise injury. Our football turf meets AFL and Rugby Australia Certification requirements.
MEETING THE DEMANDS OF COMMUNITY AFL AND RUGBY
With increased demand for more all-weather and durable community AFL and rugby fields, LigaTurf artificial turf is a great substitute to natural grass. Most grass pitches begin deteriorating if used more than 20 hours a week. Synthetic grass field can withstand more than 60 hours of vigorous use. LigaTurf offers a consistent playing surface and requires less maintenance which over a lifetime of a field can save both on the pocket and on the environment. An artificial surface opens up the ability for community AFL and rugby clubs to meet the playing demands of the sport.
