MUGA

Type 3 - High Grip Finish Polymeric Surface
Type 4 - Polymeric Surfaced MUGA 

Type 4 MUGAs utilise the same construction techniques as Type 3. The key difference between these polymeric surfaces is that, instead of netball, tennis and basketball are the priority sports for Type 4 courts. This difference is down to the slight variation in construction which accommodates these additional sports and TRRL 55 being achieved.

The same polymeric specification as Type 3 MUGA is implemented. The surface is built from EPDM rubber granules which are mixed with a binder and laid on a asphalt sub base. Once laid and screeded, the surface is then left to cure. After the surface has been laid it can be coated in an acrylic or polyurethane non-slip covering. This painted coating and then be marked with additional game markings depending on the intended purpose of the court.

At Premier Sports Surfaces we install Type 3 & 4 MUGA courts and surfaces for schools, sports clubs and private users. These Multi Use Games Areas are perfect for year-around use thanks to the pervious nature of the surface meaning that it is self-draining. This surface type can therefore be used in all weather conditions maximising usability, useful for schools and community projects and essential where the use of a court is for commercial purposes.

Type 5 - Sand Filled Synthetic Turf With Shock Pad
Type 6 - Sand Filled Synthetic Turf Without Shock pad
Type 7 - Sand Dressed Synthetic Turf With Shock Pad

Type 5, 6 and 7 MUGAs are synthetic turf (artificial grass) surfaces suitable for an extensive range of sports and other applications. Type 5 MUGA is otherwise known as astro-turf* or artificial grass and synthesises real grass. Type 5 MUGAs are typically surfaced with a shockpad and are constructed from either sand-filled or sand-dressed synthetic turf or a needle-punch carpet.

MUGA Type 5 is a synthetic grass surface which offers a highly stable and versatile playing surface for games such as hockey and football. This 2G sand-filled surface is a favourite of schools and clubs offering a resilient and flexible playing surface. 

MUGA Types 5 and 7 are most commonly used in the construction of synthetic hockey pitches whilst Type 6 MUGAs are most suitable for tennis. 

Premier Sports Surfaces install all types of MUGAs. Contact us today and get a quote for installation of a synthetic grass MUGA.

*It is worth noting that, although artificial grass is often referred to as ‘astroturf’, this is in-fact a brand name, much like Hoover or Sellotape.

Type 8 - Third Generation Long Pile Synthetic Turf

Type 8 MUGAs, designed specifically for football and rugby training pitches, are defined by their sand and rubber infill. This popular all-weather option provides exceptional performance year-round and requires significantly less maintenance compared to natural grass pitches.
